    The location is excellent. It’s a good location either for renting a car or taking public transportation. The location is very close to a grocery store that has very good food supplies. The host was very helpful with many questions I had.

    Excellent location for the Northern Lights, via a track next to the house. Thorleif (the host) kindly gave us both access to snow shoes, ski poles and head lamps to access the viewing point, where there is a hut with a fire pit inside. Thorleif...

Our house is situated on the appropriately named “whale island” (Kvaløya), just a short 15-20 minute drive to Tromsø city centre and 12 minutes to the airport (9km). This is a perfect location for those searching for a true Arctic experience, as the house is located at the main hub of Kvaløya. Dog and Reindeer sleddings are close by (3km). It is truly is the perfect place to appreciate northern Norway.
