It Started in the Backseat of an '83 Minibus... The dream of the ultimate adventure vehicle was born in the backseat of a green and cream-yellow 1983 Volkswagen minibus. No turbo, no rush—just pure soul. Towed behind us was a massive, heavy Wilk Stern tandem-axle camper. Up front, I listened to my dad admiring every classic van that rolled past: “Oh look, he’s got captain seats! Look at that one, that’s a Syncro! Wow, he’s got power steering...”While my two sisters and I sat on our three-seater benches listening to him, the seeds were planted. My friends hung posters of Porsches and Ferraris on their bedroom walls, but I kept a secret to myself. I was well into adulthood before I finally "came out of the closet" to the world: it was the boxy, charming VW vans that truly held my heart. A Real "Bus Head" FamilyThat passion quickly became a family affair. On our Sunday drives, it has always been an intense competition to see who can spot the next hidden bus tucked behind an old Norwegian fjøs (barn) or farmhouse. My daughters grew up with the smell of engine oil and the magic of road trips, and they are the ones who named every single van in our collection. Today, our T3 fleet stands proud at 13 buses—including 5 Westfalias, 5 Syncros, and 3 hardtops. Each one has its own name, its own personality, and its own story. When you stay at Green Bus Lofoten, you aren't just renting a bed; you are stepping into our world, sharing our passion, and joining the global camper community. Welcome to the family.

Green Bus Lofoten is tucked away in a quiet, exclusive backyard behind Montygården—a grand 700m² Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) estate built in 1919. Located right in the historic heart of Svolvær's old town area, this building is a beloved local institution. Over the past century, it has housed iconic shops, bars, and the famous "Monty Carlo" restaurant. Most touchingly, it served as a vital sanctuary during the war where local children came to be cared for and fed. The estate still carries that same warm, welcoming atmosphere today! Important Guest Logistics:Private Home Disclaimer: Montygården is now our deeply cherished private family home. The main house is strictly private, and guests do not have access inside.
