About this cabin rental

- Beach house within the city of Oslo
- Located right on the water
- Excellent opportunities for swimming, diving and fishing from the property
- Only 12 minutes by bus from Oslo city centre
- Uniquely attractive place to stay in all seasons

Welcome to stay in our fantastic waterfront fjord cottage! It is located within the city limits of Oslo, and it is a truly rare kind of property in the city landscape. You will be staying right on the water (literally only a couple of metres away) and the property has a long shoreline with excellent opportunities for swimming, diving, kayaking, and boating. Uniquely attractive place to stay in all seasons!

The property is located only 12 minutes by bus away from the centre of Oslo, and there are frequent bus departures from just outside the property from early morning to late evening.

OUTDOOR AREA
The charming outdoor area has 180 degrees of stunning views of the fiord and its islands.

There is an outdoor kitchen with a gas grill, an outdoor hot-water shower, a heat lamp, a dining area, reclining chairs and much more.

There is a boat and a kayak available for rent.

THE INTERIOR
The fjord cottage was built at a time when the City of Oslo still permitted construction right on the water. Such construction is no longer allowed, rendering this a particularly rare and unique property.

The interior has later been re-designed by architect Andreas Tingulstad. While the fjord cottage is not very large, the design strives to make the most out of every cubic millimeter.

The interior is modern, has specially designed furniture, and is well lit with lighting from Expo Nova. A combined heat pump and air conditioning unit ensures comfortable indoor temperatures around the year.

The kitchen has a Miele induction cooktop, an oven, a micro­wave oven, a dish­washer, refrigerator and freezer, a coffee machine, knives, china, and glassware.

In the living room, there is a flatscreen TV. The dining area (which can actually seat up to 10 persons) has a panoramic alcove with an 180 degree view of the Oslo fjord, including its islands and the buildings of downtown Oslo.

The bathroom features Bisazza mosaic, sandblasted glass and Philippe Stark interior design.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
There is a bedroom with four bunk beds, and also a mezzanine sleeping loft which sleeps up to four people in two comfortable double beds. The loft is perched above the living area and is accessed by a ladder. Each bed features an overhead ceiling window which offers the opportunity to fall asleep right under the stars.

There are light-proof roller blinds on every window. Used in conjunction with the air conditioning, it makes it easy to regulate both light and temperature even in the middle of summer.

The fjord cottage is ideal for couples, families and groups of up to four or five friends. It can technically sleep up to eight people, but the sleeping arrangements become intimate if there are that many guests.

UNIQUELY ATTRACTIVE IN ALL SEASONS
While this property is a heavenly place to spend time by the sea in the warmer part of the year, it is a uniquely attractive place to stay in all seasons. The immediate vicinity to the water provides for stunning views in all kinds of weather. Some winters, the fiord is covered by ice thick enough to allow skating, skiing, ski sailing and kite snowboarding. The combination of heated floors and the powerful heat pump ensures comfortable indoor temperature all winter long.

GUEST ACCESS
Guests have access to our beautiful garden, and to the fantastic swimming, diving and fishing opportunities that are available from the property.

As mentioned above, guests may also rent a kayak or boat from us. (In the interest of safety, rental presupposes that you have previous experience with kayaking or boating.)

It was lovely to come back to the boathouse everyday after exploring Oslo.The decking areas and river views are superb We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast with Truls. The property is very small but we made it work for our family of four. Best suited to two guests. Town access via the 83 bus was super easy and at the doorstep.

Great Stay on the Oslofjord

Fantastic views, relaxing deck and spur of the moment swimming in the fjord. Nice compact kitchen, comfortable beds and a warm shower. Made use of the convenient bus access to the center of town for museums and dinner and hiked the nature area south of the property. Hosts Truls and Kore were helpful and fun to meet.

Even in November you can have an incredible stay in Norway, and this home on the water is one of the reasons. This is the perfect get away stay... my son loved sleeping in the loft above the living room with the huge windows right above him. The dining area was great for a bite to eat and for working on a writing project. The only draw back was the distance to the downtown sites, but the bus is literally right outside the property compound or if you rent a car you can park it right across the street. I'd definitely recommend this home!

Amazing Stay in Oslo
Amazing Stay in Oslo
What a glorious stay! We loved the property, down to to the kitchen where we were able to make two dinners and an amazing breakfast during our stay in Oslo. The owners were extremely responsive and we loved every minute of our cottage stay. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing stay. The views were picturesque, even during the rain and the beds were so comfy, we had a hard time leaving. Do not miss the opportunity to watch the sailboats race and the sun set on this glorious property.

Prettiest place we’ve ever been
Prettiest place we’ve ever been
Marvelous, having coffee on the deck overlooking the fjord and throwing crumbs to the seagulls. We recommend having breakfast with the hosts. They were extremely helpful and informative. Carried our luggage to and from our car. There are numerous steps to reach the cottage. It’s small but has all the amenities and quite comfortable.
