The Haukland House, Between Peaks & Sea

Alojarte en la casa más cercana a la hermosísima playa de Haukland no tiene precio. Si además la casa es preciosa por dentro y por fuera y disfrutas de total privacidad sólo puedes sentirte un privilegiado en ese entorno. En todo momento el contacto se realiza a través de la empresa Global Rental HUB en lugar de con un propietario o persona física, pero en nuestro caso nunca supuso un problema.

Hay detalles que pueden suponer un pequeño contratiempo para algunos clientes como la situación de la contraseña wifi (detrás de una puerta de los muebles de la cocina), ubicación de algunos interruptores de luz en el piso de abajo, las escaleras de acceso al segundo piso o la falta de armarios en las 4 habitaciones. No fue nuestro caso.

Fantastische Lage. Haukland Beach und der Mannen, Himmeltinden und die Runde zum Nachbarstrand mit wunderbarer Aussicht.

Läget, utrustningen, städningen.

Trappan till övervåningen var väldigt brant.

Location was great. Charming farmhouse. Good bathroom with heated floor. Comfy beds. Very hot water and good water pressure.

Would be stay there again? For sure, yes. But you really need to know a few things and the property description should be updated to provide these details (or add the amenities suggested below). Ceilings are VERY low. We suspected they’d be a bit low from the pictures but the beams and doorways are a practical issue for anyone over 6 feet or 183 cm. I am 6”2 and about as tall as you can be without ducking a lot (I still ducked a bit out of caution/instinct). My 18 year old son is 6”7 (201 cm) and it was very difficult for him to stay there. And the second floor is even worse for ceiling height due to the slanted roof. Even average sized adults have to squat/duck significantly up there just to get through the doors. Perhaps the biggest practical issue is that three of the four bedrooms are on the second level which is only accessible by steep angled ladder climb, not stairs. No one with mobility issues could use them. And while there is a baby gate at the top, families with small children would have quite the challenge managing safety. Access to the second floor really should be disclosed in the listing; for us, it was a surprising inconvenience, but we were a party of 3 adults. For families with small children, I can’t really imagine learning about that on arrival. We also had a smoke detector beep throughout our stay. I messaged the property and they responded quickly but was told to check the fuse box (which I already did) and said it was a stove guard. I hunted for that for awhile to no avail. When I told them that it appeared to be a smoke detector, the gentleman I corresponded with told me that smoke detectors don’t beep, they screach so loudly the whole neighborhood can hear it.
