The communication with Leif was very easy and efficient. The Captain Cabin is beautiful and full of little details which made us feel "home" for two days. Leif even left a "welcome bread" in the House which was very good (little details matter). We felt genuinely welcome. No doubt we would be back if we ever go back to Senja!

Leif is a wonderful housekeeper! House was very clean, and it's well equipped. We stayed just one day here, even though we rested very well :)

“Cozy water facing property”
Lovely cozy place, really loved the location since I could hear gentle waves right through my window! Tastefully designed space, it had a double bed and 2 single beds. Kitchen was equipped with utensils, microwave and toaster. No dishwasher but we didn't mind, they had a washing machine and dryer as well. We couldn't get the dryer to work so we just hung up the clothes near the radiator and it worked. The host left candies which we loved experimenting with. They also had a sauna which was perfect. Only regret is we booked only 1 night at this stay :(

“highly recommend”
If you come to Senja, you must stay here! The room is very cozy, comfortable and clean, well-equipped and very warm. There is a parking space, which is very convenient. The owner responded promptly and the instructions were very clear. In the yard is a very good location to watch and photograph the aurora. We were very lucky to catch the aurora explosion, which was very shocking. It is very cold at night in winter, and you can go back to the house to warm up immediately after watching the aurora. The view is very good, and the scenery on the other side of the window is also very good. It takes ten minutes to walk to the seaside. It is a quiet and comfortable town. It takes about half an hour to drive to Hasten/Segla and hike, and about 50 minutes to the viewing point along the way to Senja Island, but the scenery on the road is very good and the location is very convenient.

“Perfect family holiday location at a well-equipped and beautiful cabin.”
We absolutely loved this place and its host Leif, who was there to make us feel very welcome. Beautiful, clean, family-friendly and spacious cabin in front of a fjord with great scenery. We are hoping to come back one day!

Nice little house with everything you need in a quiet area with view on the water and on the passing ships. Very nice host. Gibostad is a nice village with a coffeehouse and a decent shop. Only the restaurant was temporarily closed. Good place to explore the island. Highly recommended.
