Kvaløya Lodge

Wonderful home away from home. Great location and beautiful, tranquil surroundings.

Die Kavaløya Lodge war sehr schön und gemütlich eingerichtet. Es war sehr sauber. In der Küche war alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Die Aussicht ist ein Highlight. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

We had an amazing time at Kvaløya Lodge. It was warm and comfortable with everything you needed for a pleasant stay. Ketil was very welcoming and gave us plenty of tips for what to see and do in the Tromsø area. We didn't want to leave!

Premetto che ho scelto questo alloggio proprio perchè si trovava lontano dalla città. Qui la posizione è stata fantastica per vedere l'aurora. E' bastato aprire la porta per vederla senza andare chissà dove. L'host si è dimostrato disponibile e gentile per rispondere alle nostre domande e esigenze. Il posto auto per la macchina è nelle immediate vicinanze della casa (meno di 50m di vialetto in pendenza per arrivare all'abitazione). La casa è bellissima e pulita. La cucina superfornita di tutti gli attrezzi. Letti comodi, caminetto. TOP!

Fantastisch huis een half uurtje rijden vanaf Tromsø centrum. Wij waren er met 7 man tijdens de kerstperiode. Het huis was prachtig in kerstsfeer gebracht (tot aan kerstservetjes aan toe:)) waardoor we nog meer genoten hebben. De communicatie met de eigenaar was snel en goed. En het noorderlicht gezien vanaf het terras, magisch!

Voor ons geen probleem maar de steile helling is voor mensen die slecht te been zijn wat lastig. Spikes zijn een must.

We had an amazing time at the lodge enjoying the Northern lights just looking out of the windows of the cozy house. The lodge is nicely located 20 minutes outside of Tromso, you can enjoy activities in the nature or head to the city for a coffee or dinner with your rental car. The host Ketil is very kind and welcoming. We will definitely try to visit again, next time in summer.

Everything in the house was wonderful. It was clean, and cosy, and comfortable. It had great view all the sides and the location was also ideal. The facilities in the house were great. We were welcomed by the host and he came by to give us tips and ask if we needed something. If we ever go back to Tromso, I will choose for the same house again.

Cudowny, klimatyczny dom ulokowany kilkanaście kilometrów od Tromso i gwarantujący ciemniejsze niebo. Piętrowy, na dole z kominkiem, w pełni wyposażona kuchnia (ale kawy nie było), jest łazienka i dodatkowa toaleta. Pomieści 6 osób bez problemu. Spędziliśmy tu naprawdę przytulny, przyjemny czas okraszony nocną zorzą tuż za oknem :) Gospodarz bardzo miły, uczynny, sympatyczny, życzymy mu wszystkiego dobrego! :)

Do domu, od miejsca gdzie zostawiasz auto, musisz podejść stromym, trawiastym przejściem. Przy świeżych opadach śniegu czy silnym deszczu było po prostu niebezpiecznie (z walizkami czy ciężkim plecakiem szliśmy naprawdę mega ostrożnie). Tam muszą pojawić się schody.

Aussicht und Umgebung.

Had a fantastic stay at the lodge! Hosts were super helpful and always on hand if needed. Had some amazing views and everything you need. Even got lucky enough to see some northern lights one evening outside the lodge. Would recommend hiring a car if staying here. Will definitely stay here again when I come back to Tromsø

Host friendly, kind and very helpful. Comfortable and welcoming house, equipped with every comfort. A fantastic curly birch tree gives you a warm welcome hug.

The only flaw is that the internet connection has a somewhat limited bandwidth. The wifi signal is very strong in the house I guess it is a problem with the telephone infrastructure.

The location and facilities of the house were fantastic! The house is located directly above a road (this doesn't bother you in any way, there is little traffic) on a fjord, about 20 minutes by car from Tromsö. The only neighbor in sight is another holiday home owned by the same host, so it is very quiet! The layout of the house is good, suitable for up to 7 people. We were two families with a total of 5 people, the space was completely sufficient for us. It might be a little tighter for seven people, but it's fine for a family. There are enough cooking utensils and eating utensils, we didn't miss anything here. And if you're lucky, you can see the Northern Lights directly above the house. That was an unforgettable experience for us! The host Ketil is the most dedicated and nicest host we have ever met on all our travels: he has great tips for excursions, he helps immediately with problems in the house (we had problems with a fuse due to rain), he asks regularly whether you needed anything else (e.g. towels) and he was available at any time. That was simply priceless! We would come back at any time!

There is nothing!

Our host Ketil was wonderful, nice, genuine guy. He sat down with us and explained some good activity options relevant to our group. Ketil (and his brother, and their dogs!) were extremely friendly and gave us some Elk meat, which as hugely appreciated. He kept in touch with us to ensure that we had everything we needed. The lodge was perfect for us. The location and the scenery was the best we have seen ANYWHERE. Stunning! And yet, well located for shops and for Tromso.

A little less rain would have been perfect!!

The view, the wide wooden deck and the beautiful garden. The house itself is nice and well provided for but is rather overpriced. there is only one bathroom/toilet. Host is very helpful and prompt. Always available.

There is no access by road to the house which is on a hill. we had to carry all our luggage up the steep hill isde which was very exhausting. This discouraged us from exploring the nearby areas more as going up and down the hillside each time was labourious

It was our second visit to Kvaløya Lodge, so we knew what we were getting into - the lodge was perfect, as was the view & Tromsø itself. Can´t wait to visit for a third time. Ketil made an effort to give us a lot of new tips for what to do around the area & and we had a once again perfect vacation. Thanks and till next time!

nothing negative to say!

great house, great location , great host

steep path to house from the parking place

the house was very cosy well decorated and the fire place so comfortable. ou will find all you need and more . But first of all the host was so nice . he takes so much time to welcome us indicates many good tips and thanks to him we saw reindeers. He tries to help us with auroras even if the weather was not good and we were unlucky for that . many thanks one more time it is so rare to meet people like you because you did naturally without waiting for anything

Access quite stop and at that moment very slippery. hopefully we have ice spikes

cozy, well appointed, lovely lodge. friendly owners. very clean.

rooms were tiny, no extra towels, we didn’t know we would have to climb up a very steep, icy hill with our heavy suitcases.

Absolutely loved our time here! It was the perfect location for relaxing and watching the northern lights! We saw them all three nights we were there which was magical. Katil met us at check in and helped carry our bags which was very welcomed. He provided great tips for things to do in the area and sent through links. The house itself is fantastic and exactly what we wanted. It’s small, but was good for the 3 of us. It has 4 rooms but two are very small, so I wouldn’t recommend a large family stay there and expect to not be on top of each other. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, utensils, crockery etc, only thing missing was a toaster (maybe I just couldn’t find it!!), but it was all good! Beds were great and we were super appreciative of the cot and high chair for our daughter! Makes life a lot easier! Thanks so much for having us! I’d 100% stay again, and hopefully we make it back to Tromso so we can!

Some stairs from the car park to the property would be good. We were ok but if you are a bit older/injured/less mobile etc, you’ll struggle.

The house has a perfect view overlooking of mountains and fyord. The house has complete utensils, 4 rooms and good heater especially for us who came from warm country. The owner was nice, also gave us good advise where to visits and how and where good places to watch aurora. He also help us to bring the bags from and to our vehicle

We cannot drive the car near to the house.

Everything! The location, the lovely and comfortable interior of the house, the outside sitting area.... The house has everything you wish for and a very friendly and helpful host. I hope to return soon.

Not a problem for me but one should be aware that the way from the parking to the house is rather steep. Good workout if you have to carry lots of stuff from the car to the house :-)

Beautiful house with a great location for watching the northern lights. The owner was very friendly and helpful assisting us with any issues and requests.
