Zoo si homestay

Zoo si homestay is a holiday home in Cat Cat, Sa Pa, 1.8 km from the town centre, with balconies overlooking gardens and mountains. Its detached units suit couples and small families seeking a rural stay beside village paths, with room configurations sleeping two or four. Both are 16 m² and have a private bathroom, a terrace, a balcony, garden, mountain and landmark views; fireplaces and barbecue facilities add to the outdoor setting.

The on-site restaurant and bar serve meals, and a sun terrace provides space outdoors. Continental breakfast is available, while free WiFi covers all areas. The property offers a paid shuttle, and free private parking is available nearby. Facilities also include cooking classes, walking tours and hiking, including guided village treks led by the owner. The Cat Cat setting suits travellers who value mountain scenery, village access and activities arranged locally, rather than staying beside Sa Pa's central lake and town sights.

Zoo si homestay offers two One-Bedroom Chalet configurations, each measuring 16 m² and fitted with a private bathroom. Both have balconies and terraces looking towards garden, mountain and landmark views; each also includes a private entrance, parquet flooring, an electric kettle and barbecue facilities. The bathrooms have a shower, bidet, towels, slippers, toiletries and a hairdryer, while a fireplace is part of each unit’s features.

The options differ mainly in capacity and layout. One configuration accommodates up to four people and has two extra-large double beds; the other sleeps two and has one large king-size bed, as well as two living rooms. Both retain the same compact footprint and outdoor outlook, so the choice is between greater sleeping capacity and the separate living areas. The rooms provide a private setting within the Cat Cat property.

Outdoor areas at Zoo si homestay include a garden, sun terrace, picnic area, outdoor furniture and dining space, with an outdoor fireplace and barbecue facilities. The on-site restaurant is joined by a bar, snack bar and coffee house. Continental breakfast is available, with breakfast in the room, a kid-friendly buffet, children’s meals and special-diet menus on request. Free WiFi is available throughout, and free private parking is nearby.

For time beyond the dining areas, the property offers cooking classes, cultural tours, walking tours and hiking, with a tour desk and concierge service. A paid shuttle, luggage storage and private check-in/check-out are also available. Family rooms, heating and a shared lounge/TV area provide further indoor facilities; the accommodation is on the ground floor.
