Chau Doc Town - Overview

Murray Guesthouse is a family company established in 2009 in Chau Doc, the banks of the Hau Giang River (Bassac River),, by a uk-vietnamese couple. We both had a few years' prior experience managing projects and SMEs and the urge to escape from it all.

Our team is locally recruited and trained, and we learn from the newcomers as much as from the experience we build together. We foster personal development in a happy team, and many in house took part themselves in the construction of the guesthouse.

Draped along the banks of the Hau Giang River (Bassac River), Chau Doc sees plenty of travellers passing through on the river route between Cambodia and Vietnam. It is a likeable little town with significant Chinese, Cham and Khmer communities. Its cultural diversity – apparent in the mosques, temples, churches and nearby pilgrimage sites – makes it a fascinating place to explore even if you aren’t continuing to Cambodia. Taking a boat trip to the Cham communities across the river is another highlight, while the bustling market and interesting waterfront provide fine backdrops to a few days of relaxing before heading out.
