Right on the southern tip of Helgenæs, where the warm, dry Helgenæs landscape meets the open sea, lies the stunning Granlygård retreat. Its own wild flower fields, orchard and high to the sky; beautifully designed architecture; views over Aarhus Bay, Tunø and Samsø. Granlygård is an absolutely magical place that just calls for new cottage memories - and it's specially designed with the idea that three families or groups of friends can stay here together, but still enjoy being able to retreat to their own section whenever they feel like it.

Granlygård was built in the early 1900s and has been lovingly restored and refurbished in recent years with respect for the history of the place - and with a focus on aesthetics, good materials and opportunities for play, community and development. The house has a functional, self-contained ground floor with three bedrooms and a large, lovely living room with a lovely wood-burning stove to warm up by, a piano, cosy sofa groups to settle into, a dining area and a good kitchen where the skilled food enthusiast can create culinary experiences around which the family can gather.

What makes the house special is that there are two self-contained apartments on the first floor as well, so in total there are three self-contained apartments - ground floor, plus two on the first floor, totalling 310 m2. Both apartments on the first floor have the most incredible views of Aarhus Bay, and they are brand new with each their own bathroom, two bedrooms, loft and a large bright kitchen and living room with panoramic windows that elegantly welcome nature inside. The interior of the cottage is personal and with inspiration from the 70s combined with brand new elements such as the modern kitchens in a blue hue.

Here you are located in the middle of one of the most beautiful nature areas in the country. Helgenæs is located in the middle of Denmark and despite its modest size, the area offers steep slopes, low beach meadows, happy hills and warm valleys, wide views and cosy villages.

Within a short distance from Granlygård you will find both Sletterhage Lighthouse, Mols Bjerge National Park, the frigate Jutland, Kalø Castle Ruin, Ree Park and Ebeltoft with many cultural experiences.

Highlights from Janus & Matias

Host since April 2022

  • Enjoy living with a shared, spacious lower floor and two separate holiday apartments on the upper floor
  • View of the sea and the stunning natural landscape through the large panoramic windows
  • The large architect-designed house offers many sunny terraces, fire pit, basketball court, piano in the living room, trampoline, table tennis, flower fields and much more

We are Janus and Matias, a pair of brothers from Aarhus, who are the team behind Granlygård. The place is our common sanctuary and we love Granlygård and Helgenæs' wild nature. The summer house is our heart and we have put a lot of thought and energy into renovating and rebuilding it. We come here with family and friends as often as we can, but when we're not here we want others to enjoy the place as much as we do.

There is a wealth of bird and wildlife here, including foxes, hares, deer, badgers, pheasants and birds of prey. Granlygård and the area around Sletterhage is an area that really needs to be experienced.

The vacation home is ideal for 3 families due to the layout. In the upper area there are 2 apartments, which are very modern and stylishly furnished. The lower area is not quite on the level as the upper, but absolutely beautiful and also very lovingly furnished. Here the 3 families can eat together in the dining room. The basement is very tidy and equipped with very good washing facilities. The outdoor area is very impressive. The property is so large that you can enjoy absolute privacy. The garden is incredibly well maintained. Especially for the children it is pure paradise. Climbing possibilities between the trees, a tree house, play houses, a soccer and basketball field and a trampoline have all children very enthusiastic. And if the weather is worse, there is another room in the annex where you can play table tennis.
