Guest access
Parking right by the house or in the garage.
Guest access: the whole property except the attic.

Access; Recommended itinerary by plane to Ålesund airport, Vigra (AES) + 2 hours by rental car or Ørsta Volda airport (HOV) + 30 min by rental car.
if you drive from Oslo, then drive by stryn, to Volda, to Sæbø.

From Høgeskjerva 24 it is about a 2 minutes drive to the town centre. Here you will find 2 grocery stores, beach, hotel, camping and seasonal niche shops such as bakery, craft shop, art gallery, street kitchen, ATM machine and more.

Right by the beach is "Kapteinkvia", a community centre open to all. "Kapteinkvia" is equipped with its own grill, pizza oven and a gapahuk with seating for about 50 people, and a public toilet.

In the vicinity there are possibilities for both longer top tours, family friendly tours and ski tours. Some of the most popular tours are Slogen, Saksa, Skårasalen, Gunnar-råsa and #Sæbønestua. Check out @oppdagsunnmøre for good hiking destinations!

In Hjørundfjorden you will also find Christian Gaard farmyard. There is a pub and restaurant, which in summertime has several festivals; Country, rock and blues. At Urke you will find Urke Kaihus, where you can buy something good to eat and drink.

Please note that not all outdoor amenities are available in late autumn and winter. like the outdoor furniture, it can be difficult to get the jacuzzi ready if there is snow and ice. If you want to grill outdoors, you can use my new clean-burning fire-pit, which has a number of accessories such as a grate and roasting pan and skewers, tongs, flippers. you can use the outdoor chairs around the firepit, firewood can be bought at petrol stations in winter, you can also use barbecue charcoal.

I will do my best to follow up on your wishes as far as it goes. in the winter I will keep the road to the house open from snow with plowing and spreading when needed.

the fireplace indoors works but I do not recommend using it at all because it creates a strange smell/gas that does not feel good on the body. have found plasic balloons but the problem is still there.
instead of using the fireplace in the living room use only the new 2024 installed heat pump for heat in the winter and all year round, also possible for air conditioning to cool yourself in the summer.

Welcome to beautiful Sæbø

Amazing location
If you’re looking for a place that matches the views and beauty of fjords in your mind and pictures, this is the place. The location and views are absolutely stunning. The house is spacious, private, and in a quiet area. Per Ove supplies nearly every incidental (paper towels, TP, dish soap, laundry and dishwasher detergents, cleaning supplies, shampoo, hand soap, and trash bags) so there’s no need to stop at a store on the way except for groceries. If you have a personal favorite bath soap or body wash, consider bringing that in. He is very quick and thorough in his communication, and ready to give helpful tips on airport and rental car information, grocery stores, and sights. Definitely don’t hesitate to reach out to him if you have questions. We highly recommend this rental.

Spectacular and peaceful
This house is located in an absolutely spectacular location. The town of Saebo is seemingly a well-kept secret and is extremely quiet and relatively undeveloped. The house offers numerous amenities including a spacious living space, indoor sauna, jacuzzi, multiple TVs, lots of seating and kitchen space plus a grand piano inside, and a very large balcony and deck, hot tub and secluded setting outside with world-class views perched on the edge of the fjord. While the furnishings are less than luxurious and likely in need of an update, the large house is amply provisioned to suit most needs. You can walk into town and get basics or drive 20 minutes to a larger town for everything else. This is a place to be awed by nature, relax, hike, take the ferry to a nearby hamlet. No fancy restaurants or shops and little excitement except for the sheer beauty of the area. No giant cruise ships like other fjords either. We did not want to leave.

Tolles Haus mit einmaliger Aussicht
Das Haus ist sauber und hat alles (und noch mehr) was man für seinen Aufenthalt braucht. Gut geeignet für große Familien und liegt an einem wunderschönen Fjord. Die Aussicht ist wirklich beeindruckend und in dem nur ein paar Meter entfernten Dorf gibt es einen kleinen, süßen Supermarkt. Die Kommunikation mit dem Besitzer ist unkompliziert und so hat auch Check In/Out reibungslos funktioniert. Norwegen bzw. die Gegend um Saebo haben wir nicht als klassisch touristisch erlebt und ist wohl eher für Ruhesuchende geeignet.

The perfect house, host, village and views
This was undoubtedly the most spectacular of houses we have ever rented. The view from the house was ever changing and always amazing. Per Ove’s house is very nice, extremely well maintained and there are a multitude of kitchen utensils and equipment. The outside hot tub is an amazing experience and gives you both the hot tub experience and the views of the fjord. Per Ove is a very good host, answering almost immediately and cares about his guests. We have overall had an amazing eight nights in his house and loved every minute of it.

Wir wollten was besonderes und haben es hier gefunden. Ein wunderschönes Haus mit einem ausgezeichneten Ausblick. Die Bilder in der Anzeige waren nicht beschönigt. Das Haus bietet alle beschriebenen Annehmlichkeiten und war sehr sauber und komfortabel. Mein Mann und ich fanden zwar die Matratzen zu weich, aber das ist ja immer persönlicher Geschmack. Die Küche ist großzügig ausgestattet. Die Möbel sowie der Grill sind sehr gut. Morgens beim Kaffee auf der Terrasse sitzen und auf den Fjord schauen, einfach herrlich! Per Ove ist ein sehr guter Gastgeber. Man kann schöne Tagesausflüge von dort unternehmen. Wir hatten zehn entspannte Tage bei herrlichem Wetter.

Greatest view ever
Nothing is missed in the house. Thoughtfully equipped. The view from the terrace is phenomenal. Silence in abundance. The piano is a highlight for a musician (although it would have to get a little tuning ;-)). Just sit there and enjoy nature. Or make a trip to the fjords. Each corner a postcard view. We'll be back!

Haus in Sæbø
Das Haus ist sehr geräumig und bietet 8 Personen ausreichend Platz. Es ist gut und komfortabel eingerichtet - unter anderem riesiger Kühlschrank, Whirlpool, Außen-Spa und Sauna - und sehr sauber. Am besten hat uns jedoch die Lage gefallen: Direkt über den Fjord mit grandioser Aussicht auf bis zu über 1.500 m hohe Berge, und extrem ruhig gelegen. Der Vermieter war sehr freundlich und hat uns direkt empfangen und das Haus gezeigt. Bei Problemen war er sofort für uns da. Das Haus und den Vermieter können wir uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Gorgeous view on the Fjord
A large and spacious house, good for small and big families. A stunning view across the fjord and absolutely quiet, we never noticed the quarry nearby. The owner lives in the village and is helpful and reacheable whenever he is needed. Kitchen and other stuff is complete and in top shape. We spent a great week there with nice hikes on the other side of the water.

Wonderful weeks in Saebö
Spacious, cosy and well equipped house, that is in effect very clean. The best of it is the long, bright front of windows facing the fjord and inviting the blue light to come in. Outside there is a veranda and big terrace to sit and enjoy the gorgious view. The house is located in the middle of a lot of tourist attractions, such as Geiranger Fjord, Runde, Trollstiegen, Jostedalsbreen, the stave church at Lom, which are easily accessible within a day tour. The mountains, that surround the fjord offer a wide range of hikes of all levels of difficulty. The owner himself is very friendly, helpful and respects the privacy of his clients. We spent three lucky weeks in Saebö. Electricity is expensive also in Norway, so we had to pay 240 Euros extra for three weeks, using sauna, hot pot and the air conditioning of the house, as it is not included in the general price. Yet, spending time in the middle of the night under a perfect sky full of stars in the bubbling hot pot after a tour was it absolutely worth!

Emplacement phénoménal !
Les photos ne sont pas trompeuses. C'est au moins aussi beau que ca ! Nous étions 8 et la maison est bien assez grande ! La vue est splendide ! Prévoir un supplément pour les draps et serviettes et en demander assez pour gérer douche, sauna et jacuzzi que vous utiliserez certainement ! Ballades magnifiques toutes proches en particulier juste en face en ferry au départ de Urke. Assez près de Gerangeir pour le faire sur la journée. Boulangerie, essence et supérette dans le village. Restaurant super sympa à faire à Trandal accessible uniquement en ferry. Attention au horaires. Souvenirs inoubliables dans un des plus beaux fjord de Norvège. La météo n'était pas extraordinaire mais cela fait partie du charme et de la beauté de ce pays de rêve. Merci à Per pour son accueil !

Wonderful Fjord Experience
We really had a wonderful stay at this place and enjoyed everything about the house and the area. The view to the Fjord is unbeatable. Like a postcard, actually :) There are lots of enjoyable hikes to explore and also daytrips to Alesund, Runde island or even Geiranger and Trollstigen are easy to reach. Communication with the host was great, very helpful and we did not miss anything. House is awesome, lots of space and really really clean. We also liked a lot that the TVs, whirlpool, sauna worked great and were easy to use. Hopefully we can come back someday. If we visit the area again, Per Oves house will be the first option for sure.

Perfekte Lage mit unzähligen Ausflugsmöglichkeiten
Wir verbrachten zwei erlebnisreiche Urlaubswochen im verschlafenen Örtchen Sæbø. Das Haus und die Umgebung gefielen uns sehr gut. Die geografische Lage von Sæbo ist perfekt, um Ausflüge nach Ålesund, den Trollstigen, an den Geirangerfjord, zur Vogelinsel Runde und zu den Jostedalgletschern zu unternehmen. Da blieb fasst kaum noch Zeit, um Angeln zu gehen. Zum Glück braucht man nicht weit raus fahren. Die Bucht vor Sæbø ist sehr fischreich, Der Vermieter konnte uns allerdings keine Tipps geben. Wir orientierten uns daher an den zahlreichen anderen Angelfreunden und hatten schnell unseren Hotspot gefunden. Einzig nachteilig war die Fahrerei zum Hafen runter. Zu Fuß ist der Weg leider einfach zu weit und zu steil. Im Haus haben wir uns auch sehr wohl gefühlt. Es ist gemütlich und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Das Internet ist superschnell und in der Küche gab es sogar AppleTV, worüber wir abends gleich einen Fotorückblick unserer Impressionen anschauen konnten.
