Family-friendly vacation rentals in Tromsøya

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.

By renting the little cabin, Marianne and George open the door to their little paradise. In their place you will feel love, real nature and one of the most beautiful landscape ever, even the drive to and from Tromso is breathtaking. For people seeking a true experience in nature this is the perfect place. The cabin is remote, a step back in time, no mod cons and this is it’s beauty. A cosy, warm little haven in the beautiful wild. It is well thought out - all the instructions given by Marianne and George, and noted around the cabin ensure your stay is seamless and answers all the questions you might have - it is important to listen to them, especially as you are in the middle of the wild, responsible for your own warmth and staying in someone’s home. You are stepping back in time, at one with nature. This is a magical place. Marianne and George are kind and welcoming people. In the middle of an area flooded with guides and tourists and impersonal experiences they are a true find. Passionate about nature and the aurora, experts in the region (Marianne is a local). If you’re looking for other experiences whilst staying in the area - they are the perfect people to ask (especially aurora hunting). Going to the cabin is a truly unique experience. We are leaving with stars in our eyes and will definitely return.

Beautiful location with comfortable living area. Hot tub, fireplace worked great. Igloo looked cool, may want to add that option (if possible). It was cloudy while we were there, but the northern lights we did see seemed to want to be right over this house. Recommend cooking own meals (we did), resturants can be far. We did travel a couple hours away to hike Sukkertoppen trail in Hamn. Very cool coastal trail/hike. In winter recommend spikes. Challenging hike. Then visited Gryllefjord for dinner. Amazing mountain/fjord views. Good fish and friendly folks.

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!

The host is very welcoming and the house is very clean and hygienic.Will choose here again next time if given the chance!

The place was just as described, super cozy and with a fantastic view. Arthur gave us a very warm welcome, gave us some tips for Tromsø and even brought drinks for the hot tub. We felt very comfortable and would come back anytime. Thank you :)

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🥰❤️❤️❤️

Nick and Penny were extremely helpful and helped us to settle down when we arrived, got us some essential groceries and guided us. The surroundings are peaceful and have a great view. We could see dancing Northern lights at midnight from their apartment. It was a beautiful experience to stay at their apartment.

Very nice place with sea and mountain views Very good and well equipped kitchen.

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed the stay. The view from the house to the fjord is fantastic! The house is very nice and cozy. The sauna is also very nice and also offers a beautiful view of the fjord. Would book again in a heartbeat!

This was a very nice air bnb. Very spacious, private and with great views. The host was very friendly - even gave us a ride to town once. It is quite a walk to town, and in the snow was a bit treacherous! We figured out to use the bus, and that was much better.

We had a pleasant stay at Torbjørn apartment, everything was fine. The apartment Is comfortable and clean and offers all you Need. One of the best choice in our experience with Airbnb.

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!

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.

Great stay at Jakob's. The apartment is perfect for a few days' stay. Comfortable, well heated, it met our expectations. Wine and chocolate were waiting for us on the table when we arrived and some basic products were available in the refrigerator. It was much appreciated. The accommodation is the right size for a couple who can enjoy the bed in the room. Otherwise a sofa can be used as an extra bed in the living room for children for example. We recommend this listing to future guests.

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.
