Flott opphold på Ekkerøy
Ekkerøya er et fantastisk utgangspunkt for å oppleve Varanger med bil. Huset ligger på tarmen ut mot øya, midt mellom to flotte strender. Perfekt med et forfriskende bad i Varangerfjorden før en økt i badstua. Strendene konkurrerer med verdens beste, mens like bortenfor ligger Havhesten som er en sjarmerende familierestaurant drevet sommerstid. Selve huset er enkelt, men rent og pent, med det meste av utstyr en trenger. Hyggelig kommunikasjon. Anbefaler en tur til Bugøynes og Hamningberg.

Perfektion surrounded by nature
To begin with: By far the best accommodation I've been in! Now for the why:
The communication with the host was absolutely fantastic. We got recommendations from the host on local places to visit, where to shop and what times to shop!
We were treated as if we had known each other all our lives and were visiting dear friends!
The apartment we stayed in had EVERYTHING!
The host had really thought of everything and more. Any comment about it would be unnecessary.
It must be experienced!
We initially booked 2 nights but chose to stay another 2. Total relaxation and peace of mind was what we found there.
We live 2500 km from Ekkeroya but we will happily visit Ekkeroy Feriehus again!
Wish I could give 100 stars!
From bottom of our hearts:
Thank you!
