Farmstay comfort with local heart – food, pool, and adventures all sorted.||Phong Nha Farmstay & Victory Road Villas – || • Farmstay: Great staff, beautiful pool, bar, and restaurant. The best sunset views (and optional jeep sunset safari). Huge rooms, free water refills, and a friendly team who are part of and active in the local community. | • Victory Road Villas: Same menu as Farmstay but a handy base in town with good food for lunch or dinner.||Tips from Our Stay|| • DON’T PREBOOK your activities with other agents. Or if you do want to organise your itinerary, contact the Farmstay and ask their advice as they are well connected and will get the best deal for you and the local community.| • Listen to the Podcasts the owner has made which are really informative - without them, you won’t know what you’re looking at!| • Cash: Take lots – ATMs can be unreliable.| • Scooter rides: Ben arranged two local women riders for me and my teenage daughter. Felt safe, comfortable, and turned into one of the best days of our trip. Highly recommended.| • Phong Nha Cave: Don’t stop at the first cave—climb up to the second chamber for a proper explore.| • Dark Cave: Mud bath and swimming = hilarious fun. Wear old swimwear!| • Pub with Cold Beer: Does exactly what it says, plus a pool.| • Duck Stop: A bit gimmicky – worth skipping if short on time.||Overall: Farmstay and Victory Road Villas make a brilliant combo for exploring Phong Nha with comfort and local insight.
