"Our family had an amazing stay at Hemmingodden lodge. We stayed in a beautiful large home with amazing large ocean views and a very well equipped kitchen. We made breakfast ourselves and dinner a few times after a long day of exploring. We also booked the sauna, it was great and also had a great view as well as the possibility to go swimming. The Lodge also organized a fishing excursion which my husband and son loved! The perfect place to relax! Would definitely recommend and we hope to stay here again!"
