Idyll in Sørlandet by Tovdalselva near Dyreparken

MatthewRating, 5 stars1 month ago

What an unforgettable and pleasant stay at Flakk Gård. The farm is very family friendly with plenty to do for kids i.e trampoline, sandbox, playhouse. Our kids enjoyed feeding the goats bread, petting the kitties and playing with the puppy. Situated on a private road right on a lake and surrounded by beautiful scenery with hiking trails and a waterfall close to the property. The farmhouse interior was just as described, clean and very homey. Hot tub was nice to enjoy after a long day at Dyreparken (20min drive). Best of all, the owners were kind and friendly people which made the stay that much better. Thank you Christine and Per Kristian so very much for your accommodation and kindness towards our girls. This is a vacation they will never forget thanks to you. Best of luck with the new additions to your animal family. We hope to see you again someday!

Archipelago paradise in Sørlandet with boat included

FranziskaRating, 5 stars9 months ago

The house and Maria are a real piece of gold. we were allowed to spend two weeks in Mary's beautiful cottage on Lyngoya island. The communication with Maria went smoothly from the beginning and language barriers were no problem at all. Upon arrival in Kristiansand we were warmly welcomed and we were briefly briefed at the boat. Shortly, the spice will be😅 The house is super nice and it is really everything you need on site. From wetsuits to crabs for the children, everything is on site. The house is lovingly furnished and you feel right at home. The island is wonderfully quiet and you can discover a lot. The view from the terrace is dreamy. It was a beautiful holiday and we will be happy to come back🙂 However, you need to know that there is only one bathroom with water. With 11 people, this was sometimes really difficult. Also the ascent to the house is not easy for the elderly.

Nice condo with pool

NinaRating, 5 stars22 months ago

We had a great time at the apartment for 10 days. The pool was extensively used with the 4-year-old both in the sun and rain and we never got the feeling of inconvenience to the homeowner who was at home. The apartment was felt larger than it looked in the pictures. The location is perfect starting point for a trip to the zoo or city center. Of course, you won't get away from any traffic noise so close to E18, but the apartment was well soundproofed so this wasn't very annoying Aina as a host was both nice and very helpful. We would highly recommend both host and place!

An indoor pool area is highlighted, featuring inviting turquoise water and smooth gray walls. Large glass doors allow natural light to flood the space, with seating areas positioned nearby. Elegant plants add a touch of greenery, enhancing the overall ambience.

Very friendly hosts - would highly recommend staying here! Description and pictures are very accurate - small and cozy!

Shower is outdoors but very private, great water pressure and hot so even on the colder days it was very pleasant. Not a ton to do in the specific area but very easy drive to Kristiansand and Mandal if you are looking for more shops and restaurants. Beautiful place very close to the beach!
