CornerCatBa is on Cat Ba Island, just outside the town centre of Cat Ba, which sits on the island's south-east coast. Cat Ba National Park is 50 m from the property, and the Linh Quang Pagoda, a Buddhist temple, is 500 m away, so both can be reached on foot in a few minutes. Restaurants are close by, with Son Tung Tea Coffee and the Nhà Hàng Phù Đổng restaurant among the nearest places to eat. Guests mention the views over the adjacent lagoon and the surrounding mountains. The centre of Ha Long, the city on the mainland, is 23.8 km away.

The transport links are close. The Hoang Long bus station is 2 km away, and the Cai Beo ferry terminal for tourists is also 2 km off, while the Cát Bà bus station is 2.1 km away, so buses and ferries are within a short drive. Tung Thu Beach is about a 17-minute walk, at 1.3 km, and the property also offers a shuttle service and bicycle rental.

For a day out, the Bar view point is 1.1 km from the property, an easy outing on foot or by bike. Halong Bay lies 2.1 km away, the Cannon Fort 2.5 km away and the Động Minh Châu cave 3.4 km away, so a few of the area's sights can be combined in one afternoon. Cat Ba Climbing is another option for an active day, and the public beaches of Cat Co 1 and Cat Co 3 lie a short trip further along the coast.
