About this property

Kronprins Olavs Villa: Large 3 bed/3 bath Apartment on Godøysund

A unique opportunity to vacation in the ground floor apartment of Kronprins Olavs Villa on the island of Godøysund in Tysnes.

Huge outdoor deck with fjord and mountain views, great for groups or families. Sleeps max. 7 (+ 1 infant).

There are 3 ground floor en-suite bedrooms, providing direct access to the deck, with spectacular views of the surrounding area. A well-apportioned kitchen with breakfast bar leads into an open plan dining area and living room with various entertainment options provided. There is underfloor heating throughout the living spaces.

The master bedroom has a queen sized double bed and cot/crib, with a corner jacuzzi bath and showerhead attachment in the bathroom. The second bedroom contains two single beds (with shower room), and the third a family bunk bed (with shower room).

Bed linen, towels, dressing gowns, basic toiletries, hairdryer, travel adaptor & multiway charging cable, are provided in bedrooms for use during your stay.

You are welcome to bring your own airbeds/camping beds/sleeping bags for use in the communal area. There is a supplementary fee of 100Kr per person per night for guests in excess of the official unit capacity of 7.

More information:

Boathouse access and dock access.
Parking.

Inflatable hot tub,
Large BBQ,
Outdoor furniture,
Games, books, DVDs,
DVD player and TV.

Other things to note:

Please note the property is not 'childproofed' or 'babyproofed'.

Please be aware that, whilst the villa has a mesh network, it is a historic log cabin and therefore signal strength does vary across the property.

Vehicle access (by road) is via a single vehicle suspension bridge and locked gate, or you are welcome to arrive by boat and dock at the quayside.

Please note that this listing is for the ground-floor apartment, not the entire property.

We generally schedule bookings to maximise guests' privacy, so it is uncommon for both apartments to be occupied at the same time. Occasionally there may be some overlap, with the upper apartment occupied by other guests or, more often, by the hosts, for a short stay. In these circumstances, the outdoor spaces and facilities (BBQ, deck, garden furniture, parking, and dock) are shared. If you would prefer guaranteed exclusive use of all indoor and outdoor areas, the entire property is also available as a separate listing.

About the neighbourhood:

Excellent hiking, cycling, fishing etc. in the local area.

Getting around:

It is a long walk from the property to the main road! We therefore suggest arriving by car or boat, both of which provide ample opportunity for exploring the local area.

There are regular ferries from Bergen area via the Våge/Halhjem ferry, or it is a very scenic 'drive around' the fjords via the FV 48/49 (around 130km via this route to Bergen airport). We are also around 55km from Stord airport, with both airports offering a choice of car rental companies.

How to get here:
Bergen Airport (BGO): 51.0 km
Stord Airport (SRP): 53km
Stavanger Airport (SVG): 178km
Ferry: Våge: 7.0 km

About the host

Hosted by Amber

Host profile image
I'm Amber, from the UK, and my partner, Daniel, is Norwegian. We love sharing the magic of our special place (KPOV) with others. We endeavour to make stays special for guests, and always welcome feedback on how we can improve guest experience.

Why they chose this property

Spectacular sweeping views of mountains, forests and the fjord.

Great hiking, fishing, etc. around the islands and wider area.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy a BBQ and a glass of wine on the deck with friends & family; or use the villa as a jumping off point for exploring the West Coast of Norway with plenty of outdoor activities within easy reach, as well as the numerous attractions and places of interest in nearby Bergen (a summer perfect day trip).

There is also a large boathouse (with private external docking area) - you are more than welcome to bring your boat along on your vacation.

We look forward to welcoming you to KPOV, and will be happy to answer any questions you may have about your stay.

What makes this property unique

Kronprins Olavs Villa truly is a unique property, having originally been gifted to the infant Crown Prince of Norway, the future King Olav, in the early part of the 20th century.

It was later moved to its current location, log by log, and reconstructed. The property fell into disrepair, but extensive renovations were undertaken in the late 2000s before it was purchased by the current owner. Further renovations have taken place since, with more planned in the future.

KPOV, as it is affectionately known, is a substantial property with plentiful indoor and outdoor social and private space, located on a small group of privately-owned islands. All bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms.
