Holiday houses in Bến Tre

I’ll never forget staying at Tan’s place, a luxurious retreat in the middle of a coconut tree forest. The food in the restaurant was absolutely amazing every night, eating whilst watching the fireflies in the trees. The small details in this place are what make it so special, Tan, Chi and the rest of the team call each guest by name, remembering their preferences, likes and dislikes. You really feel at home in the most wonderful paradise, it’s so special.

Had a fantastic stay! The apartment was clean, comfortable, and in a great location. The host was incredibly helpful and responsive, making everything smooth and easy. Highly recommend!

Minh and Norah were excellent hosts! They accommodated me last minute when a booking with a different AirBnb fell through, and offered me some sugar cane juice on arrival since there was a power outage in the region. They gave me lots of great recommendations, I particularly enjoyed the Hủ tiếu Tư lùn restaurant, delicious! And importantly, the AC works perfectly ❄️. Would highly recommend the stay!

Thuan hosts an amazing homestay in a peaceful part of Ben Tre province, and his tours are excellent. My husband and I stayed three nights in the house (with Thaun and his dad in the other two bedrooms), ate breakfast each morning at his sisters' restaurant/snack shop next door (and one night she delivered dinner to the house's patio for us). Good AC in the bedrooms and wifi throughout. There are also two guesthouses on the property, which is a coconut farm; the newer of the two is available only sometimes. Thuan is incredibly helpful and communicative, with great English. Our two different tours with him, by bike and motor boat and row boat were just fantastic and full of interesting sites and anecdotes. And delicious food.

This accommodation was a dream: in the middle of nature, staying with a super friendly local family which makes the best food (recommending doing a cooking class) and you have the opportunity to rent bicycles for free to explore the small villages around the home stay. All in all: 10/10 :))

Blown away by this place. The Haven retreat turned out to be my favourite (of 14) places I stayed in Vietnam over 5 weeks. I should prefix I am a VERY fussy traveller so can be hard to please sometimes… Tan is the definition of hospitality- but more than that, we left as friends. He speaks genuinely perfect English which made sharing a joke and a wine (or 5) a joy, I learnt so much from him. Ask him about the history of the house, everything was built with intention, from the perfect placement of the lights to avoid light pollution, and his refusal to cut down certain trees (much to the frustration of his architect) because he wanted to keep the nature and the local fireflies. I ate there every night (3) cooking was perfection and all made to order. The dog Moka is adorable, but if you feed him at dinner time you will be his little servant at every meal (my fault…) It’s also a perfect place to hire a scooter as the nearby roads are safe and quiet. Be sure to try the beers X
