Mama Chao homestay is in Hau Thao, 7.3 km south-east of Sa Pa town, in the upper part of the Mường Hoa valley. Hau Thao is a rural village landscape of rice terraces and Hmong, Giay and Red Dao communities along the valley. The nearby attraction Hau Thao is 250 m away, Carved Boulder Museum is 900 m away, and Waterfall Quy Khach is 1.4 km away. The surrounding settlements and cultivated slopes give this a village setting rather than a town-centre stay.

Sa Pa Bus Station is 7.3 km away. Direct sleeper buses connect Hanoi and Sa Pa in around 5 to 6 hours; travellers arriving by train reach Lao Cai railway station, about 35 km from Sa Pa, then continue uphill by bus or taxi for around an hour. Hau Thao lies beyond the town, so the final approach continues into the valley. No parking is available at the homestay.

Nearby visits can include the viewpoint at Hâu Thào village, 1.7 km away, Tả Van at 1.9 km, Mường Hoa mountain train station at 2.1 km, and Su Pan at 2.1 km. These villages sit along the valley route amid rice fields and local communities. Terraces are green from June to August and turn golden around harvest in September and early October; June to August is also the wettest period. In Sa Pa town, Ham Rong Mountain rises above the centre, while the Fansipan cable car departs from Sun World station on the town's edge.
