Staying in Buvik Sea Lodge instead of central Tromsø was not just cheaper, it was also so much more Norwegian.
Tromsø is known as the entrance to the arctic and is tourist destination year around. Me and Sonnie the CEO of Knyx3 went there last weekend to haunt the nordic light (we failed to see it). But even if I knew that Norway is an expensive destination the cost of hotels in Tromsø scared me of. There is no way I pay 300 dollar a night for a standard room. So we looked for a good alternative and found Buvik Sea Lodge in Buvikvoll around 1 hours drive from central Tromsø.
Hiring an apartment at Buvik Sea lodge will give you so more of Norway then you get in central Tromsø. Instead of shoppingmall consisting of HM you will get raw nature outside the window. Yes you need to rent a car to get here and the closest shop is about 10 min drive away. But the silence and feeling of raw nature is a real wow experience if you lives in a bigger city.
The check in experience is easy at Buvik Sea Lodge. If you arrive when the reception is open you get a warm welcome and information about the surroundings. If not, there will be a note with your name at the door and just make your self comfortable. A trust to others I can’t imagine in a big city.
The apartments at Buvik Sea Lodge
The apartments at Buvik Sea Lodge consists of two bedroom and a combined kitchen and living room. The rooms is nicely but very Scandinavian with most of the furnitures from IKEA. The kitchen is fresh with al the utilities you can wish such a dish washer and coffee machine. There is also glas and plates for up to 5 people. But the best part of Buvik Sea Lodge is without the big balcony. Now during winter it was covered by snow. But I could easely imagine my self sitting there with a cup of coffee enjoying the morning. Or maybe even better a calm relaxed evening tea after a day in the mountains.
