Looking for a place away from the city smog, with only the sound of coconut leaves rustling by the gentle river, Ba Ngoai Homestay in Tran Van Thoi is one of the top accommodation destinations attracting tourists in Dat Mui. Let's look at a detailed review of the actual experience from A-Z of this rustic garden retreat.
1. Geographical location and how to get to the homestay by car
Ba Ngoai Homestay is located in Tran Van Thoi district, Ca Mau province. This is a prime location connecting Ca Mau city center, Hon Da Bac island and U Minh Ha national park:
- Clear car road: Spacious asphalt road, 4 to 16-seat cars can run smoothly right to the gate of the homestay's free covered parking lot.
- Fresh air, surrounded by rivers and water creating a cool natural ecological fence.
2. The rustic Southern-style thatched hut space
Instead of concretization, the homestay retains the original rustic beauty of coconut leaf roofing architecture:
- The thatched huts are built on wooden stilts jutting out into the brackish water ponds to catch the cool breeze, fully equipped with mosquito nets, electric fans, and clean cozy bedding.
- Each thatched hut has a small balcony facing the water for guests to fish for relaxation in the early morning or drink afternoon tea while watching the sunset.
3. Grandma's wood-fired kitchen cuisine - Deeply sweet hometown love
Meals at Grandma's house are always filled with hearty laughter and the freshness of local ingredients:
- Soft, sweet, sticky clay pot rice cooked entirely on a smoky wood-burning stove, eaten with rich braised fish in clay pot, and passionate giac fruit sour soup.
- Fresh Nam Can mud crabs with roe, and natural black tiger shrimp caught fresh from the pond by net, cooked on the spot are irresistibly delicious.
4. Experience being a real farmer: Catching fish, groping for crabs, hunting ba khia
Unlike passive resort hotels, Ba Ngoai Homestay brings you into real productive life:
- Manually pull up the shrimp nets to catch shrimp and fish wading in the mud in the daytime under the dedicated guidance of Mr. Bi.
- Nighttime light hunting catching ba khia (three-striped crabs) crawling around the dense mangrove roots, an extremely refreshing and stimulating rustic hunting feeling.
5. Evaluation of service quality towards Net Zero emission reduction
Ba Ngoai Homestay is proud to lead the environmental protection movement, sustainable circular tourism in Ca Mau:
- Minimize single-use plastic waste, encourage the use of environmentally friendly natural bamboo and wood materials.
- Use solar energy to light the riverside paths, creating a 100% clean closed organic food supply.
*Ba Ngoai homestay Ca Mau looks forward to welcoming you to relax in the cool river region, finding peace in your soul after the busy worries of life.*
