Cat Tien Jungle Lodge is located next to the Cat Tien National Park. It is about 150 km North-East (about 2½ hours drive) from Ho Chi Minh City. Our vision is to be “Your Window Into Nature”. Jungle Lodge invites adventure travelers & all people to discover nature’s mysteries, appreciate its splendors, bask in its wonders and if you are passionate about nature conservation, to join us in our effort to protect & preserve it for the future.

 

Jungle Lodge – is a boutique hotel offering comfortable & spacious accommodation for up to 41 guests. A selection of rooms & bungalows are available to cater for package tours plus meet the preference of our outdoor loving guests. Our facilities are all carefully built into a natural green setting, facing Cat Tien National Park with the Dong Nai River in our backyard.

 

Cat Tien Jungle Lodge offers a farm stay facility for visitors who want to experience all aspects of country living. Set within the serenity of rural Vietnamese landscape, our farm stay rooms and facilities are built from old wooden homes that once housed real local families except for some modern comforts that we have installed in them.

Located in a spacious 7,000 sq/m orchard of cashew nut, grapefruit, mangosteen & rambutan trees with our very own small vegetable plot, the “Farm House” as we endearing call our farm stay is less than a kilometer walk to Cat Tien National Park &  Cat Tien Jungle Lodge. Our farm stay atmosphere is basic, shaded, relax and laid back. Since we are located in a wooded area with the Dong Nai river at our backyard & surrounded by farms all around, we are regularly visited by different types of birds, insects, small vertebrates and from our last count, there are a family of 6 squirrels that forages at our Farm House area from time to time.

 

There are two wooden bungalows which can accommodate between 5 & 8 people each plus a double storey woodhouse with eight separate rooms that is good for 16 persons on twin sharing basis. We also have several individual room units that can accommodate single travelers with common bath facilities. All our farm stay rooms are designed to be simple, clean and cozy. We use mainly high quality local materials as our building blocks. This is to preserve our natural setting and to allow our guest to experience rural Vietnamese living. All our rooms have fans but no air conditioners. We do however have electricity, wifi, hot water, nice sitting toilets, open air bathrooms, big spacious garden with lots of fresh air and our nights are dark, quiet with insects and night birds calling in background. Between Dec & February, the mornings and nights can be darn right chilly where you can see your breath condensing around due to the cold temperature. Mid summer can be a bit warm and the raining season (June to Oct) is damp. But nothing beats being dry in the Farm House with a freshly brewed cup plus a book or Ipad in hand while its pouring outside.
