Homestays in Cat Tien

Lovely, lovely place right next to the river crossing for the national park. Huge room with all the facilities you need, including air con, WiFi, kettle etc. The family have been welcoming guests for 25 years and the son who has taken over the day to day running from the father has good English. I stayed five nights and was running out of cash, but they allowed me to withdraw some on my debit card so I was able to go stay inside the national park itself. I would thoroughly recommend this place for the international traveller. The food they cook is nearly all home grown on site.

I had the absolute pleasure of staying at Du Yen Garden of Blessings in Cat Tien, Vietnam, and I couldn’t recommend it more to fellow expats seeking peace, tranquility, and a beautiful place to work or unwind. The garden here is simply breathtaking, with organically grown fruit, a serene pond full of fish, and a sheltered meditation area that is perfect for relaxation. The attention to detail is evident, from the lush surroundings to the thoughtful water filtration system, which means you can drink straight from the tap – a lovely touch. The local food is amazing, and I highly recommend trying the Pho from Phở Hà Nộ – it’s a must-have! The people here are incredibly friendly, and you’ll find yourself greeted with smiles and “hi’s” from locals as you stroll around. One of the best things about this location is that it’s just a 15-minute walk from Cat Tien National Park, where you can explore the area by bike, take a leisurely walk, or enjoy a guided car tour through nature. Du Yen Garden of Blessings is a true gem that has only been open for two months, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets booked up quickly once more people discover this hidden paradise. If you’re an expat or just looking for a peaceful getaway, this is the perfect spot!

The owner and family was very kind.
