"Upgraded to an Ole Wang Garden cabin at the last minute. The "house" was huge with 4 bedrooms. Kitchenette was well equipped although the utensils and pan were well used to the point the non stick pan was somehow scrapped by some sharp metal utensil (i don't know who/why anyone would think to use metal to scrape a non stick pan).
Location is slightly off as you got to drive a few km inward on almost a fairly narrow 2 way road near to the end of fjord. Would be great if there were clear skies during the northern lights season but we had cloudy days, rain and day with strong gusts of wind so strong that the whole cabin creaked every time the gust of wind hit the house.
Breakfast is standard buffet which supposedly is only included if you stay in a hotel room and not one of the apartments/cabins."
"Wow! What an experience to stay in this floating home in the Arctic Circle! Espen, the owner, was easy to deal with and answered all our questions prior and during the trip. The home is quite large. The beauty around the area was incredible. Would go back in a heartbeat. 10 stars all the way around."
"We had an absolutely unforgettable stay here! From the moment we arrived, Esther made us feel so welcome with her thoughtful and caring hosting. The house itself is incredible—beautiful, cozy, and perfectly located, 15 min drive from the airport, to enjoy Tromsø and the surrounding islands.
The highlight of our trip was, without a doubt, the Northern Lights. We were incredibly lucky to witness a long and stunning aurora display right from the house—and honestly, it was even better and longer than what we experienced on a guided aurora tour. Being able to watch it comfortably from the property made the experience even more magical. If you're hoping to see the aurora, this place gives you an amazing chance.
Esther’s recommendations were also spot-on and really helped us make the most of our stay.
We left feeling grateful for such a special experience and would recommend this place without hesitation. Truly a perfect stay!
The only downside I would say is that the hot tub has a fixed price for a day. But also understandable as someone needs to be available for switching on/off.
Overall a wonderful experience"
