Hotel Details

Location

Secluded waterfront setting on the Oslo fjord, yet only 7 km from Oslo Central Station and a short bus ride from the city centre.
The chalet sits directly on the waterfront with its own private beach area, providing a peaceful natural setting with views over islands and the fjord. Despite the remote feel, Oslo's city centre is reachable by bus in about 15 minutes, with the Central Station 7 km away. Key landmarks such as Akershus Fortress (8 km) and Sognsvann Lake (15 km) are easily accessible. Oslo Airport (Gardermoen) is 50 km from the property. Free private parking is available on site, making it practical for those arriving by car. The surrounding area is ideal for walking tours, bike tours, and hiking, with canoeing available for free.

Accommodation

A recently renovated one-bedroom chalet with sea views, a terrace, and a very comfortable king-size bed.
The chalet features one separate bedroom and one bathroom (located a short walk away in the main house), equipped with a bath or shower. The main living space includes a flat-screen TV with streaming services, free Wi-Fi, and heating for comfort. The bed is frequently noted for its comfort, and the room's design is compact but well thought out. A small fridge and microwave add practical convenience for preparing simple meals. The unit is non-smoking and family rooms are available, along with cots upon request. The sliding doors open to a private terrace with panoramic sea views. The cabin is maintained to a high standard of cleanliness.

Dining

Continental breakfast is available in the room at an additional charge; a small fridge and microwave on site support self-catering.
A continental breakfast can be ordered for a fee of 200 NOK per person and is served directly in the room, allowing guests to enjoy the sea view while eating. The cabin is also equipped with a small fridge and microwave, making it possible to store and prepare simple meals. The host offers a variety of tasty drink options as part of the stay. For those wanting more choice, the surrounding area offers several local eateries within a walk or short drive, though the property does not have its own restaurant or bar. Breakfast in the room is the primary dining option.

Leisure

Free hot tub with fjord views, private beach area, and a range of complimentary outdoor activities.
The hot tub is available free of charge all year round and is positioned to overlook the fjord, providing a relaxing soak with a view. The property has its own private beach area with direct beachfront access - ideal for swimming in summer or simply enjoying the setting. A range of free activities is available on site: bike tours, canoeing, hiking, and walking tours can all be arranged at no extra cost. Water sport facilities are available for an additional charge. The garden and terrace offer tranquil spots for reading or sunbathing, while the quiet location means minimal noise from the city.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Use the hot tub year-round; it is available in all seasons and offers a direct view of the fjord.

  • 02

    Take the bus to reach Oslo city centre in about 15 minutes - parking on site is free but driving into town can be less convenient.

  • 03

    Request daily housekeeping at the main house if you need more than the standard setup, as bathroom access is a short walk from the cabin.
