    If you come to Senja, you must stay here! The room is very cozy, comfortable and clean, well-equipped and very warm. There is a parking space, which is very convenient. The owner responded promptly and the instructions were very clear. In the yard is a very good location to watch and photograph the aurora. We were very lucky to catch the aurora explosion, which was very shocking. It is very cold at night in winter, and you can go back to the house to warm up immediately after watching the aurora. The view is very good, and the scenery on the other side of the window is also very good. It takes ten minutes to walk to the seaside. It is a quiet and comfortable town. It takes about half an hour to drive to Hasten/Segla and hike, and about 50 minutes to the viewing point along the way to Senja Island, but the scenery on the road is very good and the location is very convenient.

    Staying in Leif’s cabin was amazing! It was so cozy, so clean and well prepared that we didn’t want to leave. It was so peaceful and nice inside, Leif even left us fresh bread to eat. All accommodations that you can possibly need are provided. The whole village is great, we had the luck of seeing an otter in the ocean when we took a walk and of course- we saw the northern light right from the window of the cabin! It was absolutely surreal. Just a special place.

    The beautiful little house with sauna and barbecue hut to this view is just incredible. Waking up and seeing the sunrise over the mountains and Fjord is amazing. The interior design and utensils are the perfect amount and the decoration is tasteful. The host is a very friendly cool guy, great musician as well :D Thank you, Leif, for the ride around the island, the jamm session and the great time!

    The cabin is very cosy. Airconditioning and the possibility to make the room total dark help you to sleep during the warm and sunny summernights. The host was very friendly and helpful. In the village there is a good, small grocery store. The location is good, it is easy to make trips to different parts of Senja. I recommend this accomdation for all families and couples exploring the beautiful Island of Senja!

    Leif is a super host with very down to earth and warm personality, very generous with the accomodation facilities, good quality equipments and furniture, nice home made bread and location with parking in front of the house, The view at the surrounding is amazing, the captains cabin is very comfortable , better than how the pictures looked, my son enjoyed the Netflix and fast speed internet very much, we feel that staying only for 2 nights are simply too short. Wish to come back again.

    Everything exceeded expectations! The captain's cabin was spacious, clean and had plenty of amenities including a washer and dryer. Leif is the best host we've ever come across. He made sure we got everything we needed and more; he for instance cleared the snow from our car in the morning.
