Family-friendly vacation rentals in Tromsø

Stay and book within the city of Tromsø for 2-3 days and the rest of your stay, you MUST book one of Freddy’s campers. Beyond the city, you will see the real beauty of Tromsø. We stayed at Freddy’s place for 5 nights! Within six days, 1. We saw the Aurora Borealis dancing right in front of Freddy’s property. 2. We watched the most beautiful green, pink, purple Aurora Borealis during our last night right at Freddy’s backyard. 💚💜💖 3. We hiked twice in different areas 30-mins away by driving from Freddy’s place, 4. We had a walk in the nearby area 5. We ate quail eggs (gifted to us by Freddy). 6. There was a day when we just stayed in the camper, enjoyed the view and read a book. We also walked around the area that day. 7. From afar, we saw Moose and Reindeers. 8. Max the cat, the ducks and Geese are a plus! So adorable! We really wanted to get around the places outside the city, good thing Freddy had an extra car for us to rent. We can assure you, renting a car and driving around is worth the view, worth the everything! 😉 The camper was clean, complete and organize as we arrived. For two people, it is very spacious. The view from the window is stunning. The camper is well-heated. 30mins away, there is a local grocery store. We ate there once and we liked it, and we did our groceries from there too. Karin welcomed us and explained to us everything. Freddy was very helpful with many tips to give us. You can ask him anything about Tromsø. He lent us snow shoes and walking sticks for hiking. We wouldn’t have hiked without it. They are both hospitable and very interesting people to talk with. So if you’re planning a trip outside of Tromsø city, Freddy’s camper is the place to be!

We cannot say enough about how lovely our stay was at this beautiful property. The views, the comfortable accommodations, the sauna and jacuzzi, cozy and well supplied kitchen…Tromvik Lodge had it all! We really appreciated how responsive Tore was since we needed some guidance with it being our first time in Norway. He made everything accessible for us and we felt right at home. Despite it being cloudy during our stay, we had two spectacular nights viewing the Aurora borealis! It was a dream come true in the most perfect setting at this lodge.

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt gehabt! Check-In und Check-Out per Schlüsselbox und alles war frisch bezogen. Auf Anfrage hat man uns auch Trinkwasser bereitgestellt. Bitte beachtet dass aufgrund der Wasserfärbung eigenes stilles Wasser mitgebracht werden sollte, bekommt man auch in jeden Einkaufsladen. Der Coop in Mestervik ist ca. 25 Minuten mit dem Auto entfernt und ist die nächste Einkaufsmöglichkeit. Ansonsten haben wir auch von Nachbarn nichts mitbekommen bzw. nichts gehört. Man hat tatsächlich ein schönes ruhiges Örtchen, mit herrlichen Ausblick und den Fjord und die dahinterliegende Bergkette. Der Whirpool war ganz einfach zu benutzen und ist ständig gewärmt. Die Sauna lässt sich mit Holz beheizen. Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Woche und würden wieder kommen. Über angebliches Viehzeug im Haus können wir nichts sagen, bei uns war alles sauber und ordentlich. Fahrt am Besten im Winter mit 4x4 und Spikes. Die Straße zur Unterkunft vereist gerne mal.

The apartment of Kristoffer was amazing! It's even more beautiful than in the pictures. It's very spacious and light. The view is just wonderful. Everything in the apartment is good. f Fully equiped kitchen and a super comfortable bed. The huge terrace with the jacuzzi is fantastic. Kristoffer is a great host. He gave us clear instructions and he was flexible on the check in and check out time. Besides that he gave some great tips for the city and surroundings. Last but not least, we saw the aurora from the balcony on our last night!

房东非常热情，房子也很干净卫生。如果有机会，下次还会选择这里！

Die Unterkunft war genau wie beschrieben, super gemütlich und mit einer traumhaften Aussicht. Arthur hat uns sehr herzlich empfangen, uns einige Tipps für Tromsø gegeben und sogar noch Getränke für den Whirlpool gebracht. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Vielen Dank :)

Very nice and cozy place, exactly same as decribed. Bjorn is super friendly host, if given a chance will love to stay again. Thank you so much Bjorn🥰❤️❤️❤️

Ottima esperienza in una casa molto accogliente e pulita e con gli host sempre disponibili ad aiutarti. posizione vicina al centro, facilmente raggiungibile con 3 fermate di bus, zona splendida soprattutto per i dintorni, con una vista spettacolare sulla città e abbiamo avuto anche la fortuna di vedere l'aurora boreale dalla finestra.

It was a great pleasure to stay at Gunnar’s lovely house. With an outstanding view including mountains and sea, you can still feel the calm atmosphere. We will always remember our days in Tromso and the house. Additionally it takes only 15 minutes from the airport. Just to remember, finding a taxi or Uber can be challenging in rush hours. Thank you for a remarkable experience!

Amazing job of converting boathouse into very nice living quarters. Hosts are friendly, responsive, and provide very good info on what to do in the area. We saw northern lights over the marina during our March stay. Turn on Youtube, put on a crackling fire, and enjoy watching the boat traffic pass by. A big snowstorm came in before and during our stay and they did a great job of keeping the driveway clear. The road from Tromso was also fine for driving during our winter stay. We got a few groceries and the kitchen had everything we needed. Cabin is warm and cozy, VERY clean. Great location for exploring the area. We would stay here again.

Lovely cozy old small cottage house, immediately felt like home <3 A little squank so vertigo on the first evening but it passed the next day. Went for daily morning swims in the sea, baked bread and skiid mountains. Perfect peaceful location on Kvaloya. Especially lovely snd functional kitchen, even had a smoothie blender and beautiful bowls. The road to the house tends to be undrivable if it snows and slushes but it worked great to arrange snow clearing directly with Siv’s brother Gaute who lives nearby (because if you park near the main road, then nobody can clear the snow). Ha det bra och tusen tack för allt!

We had an amazing time at the cabin. It was even better than the pictures. Very cosy and tastefully decorated, well equipped kitchen, wonderful oven and sauna… and the view was just beautiful. It’s a great place to rewind and just be. You will need a car. There’s nothing but nature around you. But it’s a gem. Don’t miss it!

This is the perfect spot to explore Tromso from. Erik is so nice and ready to help with any questions. Apartment is right by bus stop, and a short walk to the downtown.

Helene nagyon kedves, segítőkész, hasznos információkkal látott el bennünket. Kis gyerekkel is tökéletes volt a szállás, használhattuk a szánkót. A konyha jól felszerelt, néhány alapanyag megtalálható a fiókokban (cukor, fűszerek, stb).

Janne et Knut sont des hôtes très accueillants. Le logement est très bien situé, avec une vue magnifique sur la ville et les montagnes - certainement une des meilleures vues de Tromso. Parfaitement équipé, très plaisant et confortable, nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans la maison. Nous avons même eu la chance d'avoir des tickets pour le téléphérique de Fjellheisen, que Knut nous a gentiment offerts. Nous recommandons à 100%. Vous aurez peut-être même l'occasion de voir des aurores boréales, comme nous, depuis la maison!

Wir waren für drei Nächte in Tromsø und haben und bei Giæver sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Wohnung war groß genug, die Küche gut ausgestattet und alles war wie beschrieben da. Giæver hat schnell auf Fragen geantwortet und es hat alles super geklappt. Wir sind sehr zufrieden und würden nochmal wiederkommen.

I’m very glad to have a chance to stay at Johan place. Very cosy and equipped with everything we need. Very responsive host and accommodate with all my request. Lovely host and definitely highly recommended ! Thanks Johan!

Great place to stay! Very clean, well situated, beautiful views on Northern Lights from the bedroom. The communication was great & easy. Totally recommend!

Cleand and tidy and super close to Tromso downtown with a grocery store next door. Place was comfortable for the three of us with room to spare. Had everything you need to make your stay comfy.

Excellent séjour chez Jakob. L’appartement est parfait pour un séjour de quelques jours. Confortable, bien chauffé, il est conforme à notre attente. Le vin et le chocolat nous attendaient sur la table à notre arrivée et dans le réfrigérateur quelques produits de base à disposition. Ce fut bien apprécié. Le logement a la taille adéquate pour un couple qui peut profiter du lit dans la chambre. Sinon un canapé peut servir de lit d'appoint dans le séjour pour des enfants par exemple. Nous recommandons ce logement aux futurs voyageurs .

This was our first visit to Tromsø, and we couldn’t have found a better place to stay. About 30 minutes drive from the city, the apartment is beautifully located by the fjord—peaceful and scenic. Susann and her family were warm and welcoming. We travelled with our 1.5-year-old and were touched by the thoughtful touches—travel cot, age-appropriate toys, books, and even a winter suit for our little one. The weather turned out colder than expected, but thankfully the hosts had winter gear like suits and crampons available for rent at reasonable prices. We especially enjoyed the campfire spot (we were there 2 afternoons during our 4nights stay) and were so grateful when they cleared the snowy path for us after hearing we couldn’t find it. The apartment was clean, spacious, and perfect for our family of three. Highly recommended—Susann and Jørgen are wonderful hosts!

Daniel is a great host, beautiful place. Felt like a home away from home. It's just 3 minutes walk from the nearest bus stop that goes to the city centre. The supermarket is also very close and tromso cable car is just 500m walk. The drawing room and the kitchen is especially well decorated. Everything was perfect during our stay. We'd love to stay again when we'll visit tromso in the future.
