Company info

I, Silje, grew up around here, and I have always wanted to keep the business going. I did move away from town for 10 years though, but I kept coming back to work every summer. While away I travelled alot, and lived different places such as Vadsø, Alta, Oslo, Dusseldorf (near Auto Becker!!), San Diego, and Rome. In 2007 I moved back for good. In 2014 Milan was born. The next year our new house and reception was built, and in 2016 Fredrik was born. Now we are a family of three, with our two huskies and the handsome petit brabancon.

Property info

My family and I wish people from around the globe welcome to our little piece of paradise!

Neighborhood info

The Sami Parliament is our nearest neighbour. Sapmi Park with Boble Galsshytte is close too. The famous knifesmith Strømeng is less than 2km away, so is the sami museum, and also the sami art center. Shops are also within 2km. It is a nice walk to the bridge from here in summer, following a path along the river. In winter this is a great place to view the magic of the Aurora Borealis, and in summer the midnight sun shines its blessings over the other side of the river, and over us bright and early in the morning.
