Some info has been automatically translated.
Idyllic Storvik is a small village at the end of Nordland coast in the middle of Saltstraumen and Svartisen. The surroundings are oceans, mountains, sandy beach and fishing waters. Here you can stay in the old grend school that we in our family have converted into a modern apartment.

There are several marked hiking trails in the area. They range from very light, to more advanced trips for real "mountain goats". If you would rather relax on the beach and enjoy nature in the distance it is fully possible from the 1.5 km long sandy beach.

The space
The apartment is located in Storvikbukta's old town school from 1951, it was fully renovated in 2014, and has still retained the charm of an old school.

The main room in the apartment was previously used for alternating gymnasium, craft hall, home knowledge, kindergarten and English. Today there is a large living room/living room and kitchen here. Details such as school charts, writing desks, and school books are still to be found in the decor. From the main room it is divided by a new bedroom.

It is the former teacher's room that has been converted into a large hallway, with space for both bicycles, stroller and hiking equipment.

The 6 sleeping places are distributed as follows:
- The master bedroom has a double bed (150 cm), and space for a cot, which is set out if needed.
- Bedroom 2 has a small double bed (120 cm) with room for 2.
- In the living room there is a good sofa bed with room for 2, and a short daybed that can be used.
- In addition, we have two metal extra beds that can be put out.

The bathroom with its own separate toilet is to be found further into the apartment. You will also find a washing machine and shower. And great space to hang up wet clothes after a long walk on the beach or in the mountains.

Guest access
The apartment is centrally located in Storvikbukten, with a short distance to the local shop and a public recreation area with benches and space for barbecuing.

The place is perfect for those who want to relax and enjoy nature. You can often see sea eagles and summertime midnight sun. Gildeskål is the municipality in Norway with the most wild orchids.

There are several marked hiking trails in the area. The tours vary from very easy on flat ground, to more advanced tours for real “mountain goats”. If you would rather relax on the beach and enjoy nature from a distance, it is quite possible from the 1.5 km long sandy beach.

There is parking right outside the apartment on private grounds.
NOTE: The stairs to the apartment have three steps, but everything inside the apartment is on the same level.

I love to travel and have used Airbnb when I have been abroad. It was a positive experience and I think it was a nice way to see new places. The apartment I am renting is located in the village's old branch school which was built in 1950. It was refurbished and rebuilt by me and my daughters and finished in 2014.
