Nice clean budget friendly stay with amazing beach and views

We received one of the warmest welcomes we’ve ever experienced. The owner and his son were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We also had the pleasure of buying fresh eggs from their chickens for breakfast, which were absolutely delicious. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything we needed, and both the common areas and our room were incredibly spacious, cosy, and spotlessly clean. It truly felt like a home away from home. We only stayed for one night, but we genuinely wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommended!

The caravan is more spacious than we expected especially with the extension. The garden is also well maintained and spacious. The caravan is old but clean and well maintained with complete facilities (kitchen, microwave,fridge/freezer, toilet and shower with hot water). The owners are very friendly and prompt to answer our late booking and when we had problems. We came in the middle of the rain but i can imagine it would be lovely to have a grill there. Also there are nearby fishing areas but you have to drive since the caravan is not next to the coast.

What a beautiful cottage! Lovingly and tastefully furnished and decorated, it radiates warmth and comfort. The icing on the cake were the owners, Danuta and Robert, who went out of their way to make our stay as nice as possible. Thank you for the wonderful time.

The property was well maintained for its age and v clean. Management and staff friendly and helpful

location right next to ferry port, so we saw the Hurtigruten boat calling in

We were in the pre-season (end of May) - three adults with dog - spontaneously looking for a cottage on a campsite. Unfortunately, all cabins in the area were fully booked due to weather conditions. The only accommodation in the area shown by Booking.com was still a triple room in Gulbrakka Basecamp. We decided to book without checking recommendations and when we arrived we were greeted very friendly by the houseowner, even got two rooms for the price of one and a free coffee to welcome us with a tour of the house. Two rooms for three adults with dog was a welcome change after a long trip. Although the street is close, the rooms are quiet and you can sleep with the window open if needed. The curtains completely darken the room, which also helps for restful sleep in areas of constant day and night brightness. It is quiet in the corridors with no loud music or the like, although all rooms were occupied. Each room has cleanly made beds and fresh towels. The shared bathrooms are clean with free hot showers, and two friendly cleaning ladies are coming daily in the morning for cleaning everything. The shared kitchen is fully equipped including fridge and there is a large shared living room with couches for relaxing. It is close to the start of the boats tour for the glacier hiking tour (about 25-30 min drive) and to the national park (about 10-15 min drive). As a conclusion it can be said that we unexpectedly got one of the best shared accommodations of our whole trip through Norway for a cabin price and that if we come to the area again for longer vacation we would definitely stay again in Gulbrakka Basecamp also longer term.

Clean, spacious, quite & very welcoming Staff.
