Volda Floating Home
Looking for a unique living experience? Volda floating home gives you a rare opportunity of living not near, but ON a Norwegian fjord!

Our group of 11 had a wonderful stay here. We came to see the northern lights and we didn’t even have to leave the boat to see them! The location gets you away from the city light pollution but close enough that trips into town aren’t a hassle.
The interior is beautifully crafted with plenty of space for our whole group. The owner was so attentive and easy to reach for questions. I would recommend and stay again.
This was the perfect place for a group of friends to hang out and relax during the days, and look for Northern Lights at night. Espen was very responsive and helpful. We had the most wonderful time!
Our stay on this stunning houseboat was nothing short of extraordinary. The design was absolutely gorgeous with every amenity thoughtfully provided. The rental was spacious and impeccably maintained, showcasing the host’s exquisite taste and attention to detail. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly by Espen. He also prepared a delicious meal that truly set the tone for an unforgettable experience and far surpassed any meal we had in town. This rental redefines luxury — highly recommended for anyone seeking a unique and opulent getaway
We had a group of 12 friends staying at the VRBO, and it was amazing. The host was easy to reach and helpful, the home is beautiful, and the location is pretty convenient to hiking/exploring (+30 min to Tromso). The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to cook delicious meals at home. We all hope to come back again in the summer!!!
Absolutely beautiful boat with stunning scenery. It was warm and cosy and very welcoming.
The only thing was we thought there would be somewhere to charge a car but it wasn't available. Plenty of places to park and charge in the town though.
Perfect place to relax and unwind.
This property transports you to a different world. The peace and quiet is unlike anything any of us had experienced. The amenities in the home were fantastic but do not compare to the incredible location in which it all resides.
It even allowed us to experience the Northern Light's from the property. It was truly a relaxing and magical time.
The host Espen was super friendly, kind and responsive. He tried to offer us anything we wanted while we stayed there. He offered us some of the best whiskey I have had in a long time.
Would love to stay again.
Since graduating college, my friends and I meet up in a new location every year since we live in different areas. This year we chose Norway and found this Floating Home. Typically, we take the pictures of these vacation rental homes with a grain of salt considering the wear and tear. To our surprise the pictures listed were spot on! The location was beautiful, we were able to see the Northern Lights and wildlife like otters and reindeer. Between exploring the hiking trails in the area to visiting Tromsø, the floating home was situated perfectly between the urban and outdoor settings. We truly loved this home and not to mention our host. The host did everything to make us feel welcome. He even added a ladder to his dock when we mentioned that we wanted to jump in the water. Overall, we had a great experience and have all agreed that if we make it back to Norway, we will all be staying at this house.
Ein Traum auf dem Wasser, inmitten der Natur! Man hat seine Ruhe auf der toll eingerichteten und super ausgestatteten Fähre! Sehr netter Kontakt zum Vermieter und Tromsø ist gut erreichbar!
Es blieben keine Wünsche offen
Bei dem Boot handelt es sich um eine umgebaut Fähre.
Das Schiff ist ein Traum und lässt keine Träume offen. Große Glasflächen, Fußbodenheizung und Esels Design. Ermordet viel Platz und top Zustand. Wir kochen gerne und die Küche lässt wirklich keine Wünsche offen. Alles neu, keine schlechten Düfte und keine schimmelecken. Du machst die Türe auf, kommst heim und fühlst dich wohl. Selbst beim Sturm konnten alle selig schlafen. Keiner hat gelitten. Man ist in einer ruhigen Ecke im Fjord und allein. Nur Otter und Robbe sagen guten Tag und unsäglich viele kleine Fische im kristallklaren Wasser. Beste Entscheidung und immer wieder gerne.
Hier stimmt einfach alles! Fotos und Beschreibung sind authentisch, eigentlich ist die Realität noch besser. Es fehlt an nichts. Die Unterkunft ist luxuriös, Die Einrichtungs- und Benutzungsgegenstände bis ins kleinste Detail vorhanden. Die Küche ein Segen. Das WLAN obwohl der Ort sehr entlegen unglaublich schnell(5G!!) Trotz des Luxus und der Grösse unglaublich preiswert.

Despite the luxury and size, incredibly cheap
