“Authentic place to taste local food by the host.”
The staff Tuan was brilliant. She cooked us the most authentic, local home cooked meals. She has a wonderful manner and personality. We adore her dearly.

The location is stunningly beautiful and the hosts are the nicest people. I had a wonderful time staying here, a great place to escape the chaos of the big cities. They also offer a boat trip, which I recommend taking. The food was great as well, I had all my meals at the property while staying here.

“Great riverside space in the Mekong delta”
The accommodation is on the edge of the river, with a beautiful landscape and great bungalows. All employees are in great demand and provided a great stay. The property has a beautiful garden with several plants used for the local production of coconut soap. Breakfast was varied and was included in the accommodation. Dinner was offered for 200,000 dongs per person. The property provides bicycles for sightseeing in the area and organizes boat trips. The 4-hour boat ride was about 680,000 per person.

The host is amazing! She prepared the best food I during my entire trip in Vietnam! If you are vegetarian this is the best address to eat something local but without meat. The garden is absolutely beautiful! The Mekong river trip was well organized and full of attractions. I recommend this place if you want to get to know real live of the locals and see beautiful coconut forest!

“Paradise found. This is the place.”
Welcome to the coconut kingdom. Thu (our hostess name) asked if we were hungry. She cut the sweetest pomelos to tide us over then knocked up a hearty home made noodle soup. The other guests were readying themselves for a tour as we ate. I asked if we could join. Two obliged. It was an absolute treat of an afternoon. Heaven sent. The boat pulled up outside our jungle home and took us along the river to a tiny brick making factory extruding clay from the paddy feilds. Kiln burners fed with rice husks. Next dock they were making chocolate. Cacao grows well between coconut trees Two enthused. Small batch, watch the process, taste the goods, buy some takeout. Over the street next up was coconut candy. We peeled the coconuts hard skin which goes off to make rope. Mixed with rice sirop and churned into a coconut toffee. Nom nom. Then we boarded wood carved Sampan boats working the oars along narrow waterways our captain cracking coconut water fruits and fresh coconut water. Back at the boat captains homestead we drank strong green tea and toasted coconut cakes on the bbq. They crisp up over heat like big sweet papadams. We later saw hundreds drying in the sun. Then a 5km pedal on two wheels through the backwater communities back to our little paradise. Thư was eager to show us her own projects. We walked her gardens. A plant that harvests a cotton type substance was used to stuff our pillows. Various leaves and herbs were ground to a powder in her workshop and infused with coconut oil from her extractor plant to create a range of soaps and cosmetic oils. All stocked in our well appointed huts built from coconut fronds. We need to keep busy in the off season. She smiled. Pride sparkling in her eyes. Delicious dinner of river shrimp and dragon mint salad. Paradise only outshone by our host

“Fabulous place in the jungle 😊”
It's a fabulous and peaceful place, in the middle of the jungle, with little houses made with wood, along the river. The tropical garden is lovely.😍 The atmosphere is very calm and familiar, you can feel really at home. We had breakfast and dinner there and the food was delicious.😋 Nong, the owner is a great cook!! We had the tour in the boat with her and we could discover many interesting places. We could get her artisanal soap and coconut oil as well and they are really excellent! If you like nature, it's your place!

“Unforgettable!”
This is a really special place. It is definitely much further off the beaten track than some of the tourist hotspots we’d been to during our trip to Vietnam, and it took us a little while to settle into the slower pace of life there but once we did we really loved it. The farm stay is very remote, in a small village outside Ben Tre, but easy enough to get to from HCMC via bus and taxi. We ate all our meals at the accommodation and were impressed by the tasty and varied food on offer. It is a home cooked set menu for each breakfast and dinner. There are two boat tours offered by the farm, a short one and a long one. We opted for the long and would thoroughly recommend. The tour was led by Thu, the owner, and we were lucky enough to be the only two people on it that day. We learned so much about life in the Mekong Delta and the culture of the people who live there. We felt everyone was so generous and welcoming, a highlight was lunch cooked for us by a local man who took us down some of the narrower parts of the river in his small boat for part of the tour. We finished with a bike ride through the village and a look inside Thu’s soap and coconut oil making facility at the farm. If you have a chance to do the long tour, don’t miss it! This was a lovely opportunity to slow down and take a breath at the end of a busy two weeks exploring this beautiful country.

It was the best accomodation that we had in our 2 week long Vietnam trip. The garden is gorgeaus, the staff is very nice and helpful, they are always smiling. The food is amazing, the best we had in Vietnam. The room was clean and spatious. They offer free bikes so you can discover the Mekong-delta on your own (and you should because it is beautiful!). We would definitely stay here again!

“It’s a little paradise, I had the best time there”
The place is so beautiful, by the river, surrounded with plants and coconut trees. The ladies working here are so nice, and the food they make for breakfast is so delicious. The little cabins are really cosy and comfortable. The guests can also borrow a bike to go explore around. There are also hammock by the river if you just want to chill. You can also ask them to organise a boat tour for you, wich was really fun.
