Can Tho
From the same team as the long-running Mai Chau Lodge in the mountainous far north of Vietnam, this lodge has a completely different setting, on the banks of a river in the pancake-flat Mekong Delta. Rooms are simple yet elegantly decorated with local furnishings and set in rustic two-storey wooden houses.
The lodge is about 12km southwest of Can Tho in Ba Lang.
