You will be staying in shipbroker Johannessen's historic home from the late 1800s, in the middle of charming Sævelandsvik on Karmøy. The house is like a time capsule with original surfaces, several wood-burning stoves, and claw-foot bathtubs. The large pier has an old-style sauna with a fantastic view of the sea.
Inside, you will find authentic details from the turn of the century. The parlor has original wallpaper from the early 1900s, and the entire house bears the mark of its maritime past. Morning coffee tastes extra good in the small café in the shop.
Outside, a large jetty with a boathouse awaits, perfect for crab and shrimp evenings at the long table. Take a dip in the sea before enjoying the sauna with its striking views. The sunsets from here are unforgettable.
You are centrally located on the island, a short distance from historic Avaldsnes, old Skudeneshavn, or beautiful Åkrasanden—only 10 minutes by bike. The historic neighboring house has a restaurant and bar with local ingredients on the menu.
