Little Mai Chau Homestay

It's hard to beat this collection of thatched bamboo bungalows, backing onto karst cliffs, with balconies overlooking the paddy fields, 2km west of Mai Chau. The secluded family bungalow in particular is perfect for couples. It's very well set up, with free bicycles, motorbike rental (150,000d per day) and sociable shared dinners (80,000d). Owner Heung speaks English and can arrange anything.
