“Un premier échange très réussi! Nous avons passé d'excellentes vacances dans la maison d'Anja et David où nous nous sommes sentis immédiatement très à l'aise. De nombreux documents avaient été mis à notre disposition, ce qui nous a permis de faire de magnifiques balades et de voir des paysages incroyables. Quel beau pays! Nous n'avons malheureusement jamais rencontré la famille Fink mais nous avons eu un très bon contact par mails, tout a été très simple et parfaitement organisé. Merci pour cette belle expérience!”

About our home
Our house is a cozy family home in the beautiful town of Sandefjord in southern Norway. It is a spacious two level house with a large garden and a sunny terrace.
The first floor includes two single bedrooms, a recently renovated bathroom with a shower, a second living room with a TV and a woodburning stove as well as a laundry room (including a washing machine) and a food storage room.
On the second floor we have the main living room with attached dining area, large panoramic windows and a door to the terrace with access to the garden, a little kitchen equipped with all necessary items plus a little breakfast corner, the master bedroom, a guest room with an extra bed and another bathroom with a bathtub.
It is a ca. 15-minute walk to the city center of Sandefjord, which is known for its nice little shops, cafes, lots of live music and a great view of the ocean and its charming summer atmosphere. A number of beautiful beaches are close by (the nearest takes about 10min to get to by bike, most of the others are a short car ride away).
You can get to Oslo either by bus or by train (take the public bus to the main bus / train station, a bus stop is 3 minutes from our house), or you can take the ferry leaving from the city center to Strömstad in Sweden and visit charming Gothenburg on a day trip.
The area is perfect for hikes in beautiful nature, all kinds of water sports as well as for cross country skiing in winter (the prepared trails begins 5 minutes away from our house).
The next downhill resort is approximately one hour away by car.
Our home is not perfect but it is cozy and family- friendly and a great location for a relaxing holiday.

Anja's reviews
As a host (5)“Maison très agréable d'où nous avons pu visiter la région, les hôtes sont très sympathiques”
“We had a very good stay in Sandefjord. Anja was very helpful and welcoming and the house was very comfortable and accurate for a family. It's not the most touristic part of Norway but we enjoyed a lot of beautiful landscapes and took a big breath in nature. I warmly recommend you to try the norwegian way of life! ”
“notre échange avec Anja et David s'est bien passé, nous nous sommes sentis bien dans leur maison et avons particulièrement apprécié leur pièce à vivre lumineuse et le coin repas sur la terrasse . le quartier est calme, proche du centre de la ville de Sandefjord et les environs sont agréables à découvrir. Ils ont laissé notre maison en très bon état.”
“Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour chez David et Anja, au milieu d'une nature calme et reposante en compagnie de notre compagnon de séjour, Félix. C'est un lieu idéal pour déguster du fameux poisson, se promener, faire du vélo ... les vacances quoi. Nous avons eu aussi le plaisir de rencontrer David et sa famille. Merci pour cet échange réussi.”
