We stayed for 12 nights at Riverlife Homestay in Room 301, which overlooked the river and had such a lovely outlook. Every morning, we would pull back the curtains and watch the local boats travelling up and down the river, such a peaceful way to start the day.
The room was spotlessly clean, with fresh linen and a very comfortable mattress. The bed was a little on the firmer side, which was perfect for us. The pool was also beautiful and clean, and a wonderful place to cool off after a hot day exploring Hoi An.
Some nights, we enjoyed drinks and nibbles up on the roof top terrace watching the sunset and the full moon.
Chi and Trung were the most wonderful hosts, as were their lovely family. We felt truly looked after and very much spoilt throughout our stay. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable, even providing us with water every day after our long days of walking.
The location is fantastic, just a five-minute walk from the busy Old Town, while being far enough away to retreat to the peacefulness and quiet of the island. We really enjoyed having the best of both worlds.
Chi also kindly organised our transport to and from Da Nang, and we hired their bikes for a lovely ride to the beach and through the surrounding rice fields.
We absolutely loved our stay at Riverlife Homestay. The beautiful river views, peaceful location and, most importantly, the warmth, kindness and genuine care of Chi, Trung and their family made our 12 nights very special.
