Read More...Thank you for a perfect exchange. We liked your home and the nice area round your house. We liked it when your cat came to the house and want some "Streicheleinheiten". We did some trips by bike, just to the beach near your house, to Asardstand or to Tonsberg harbor. We also explore the costal area e.g. to Verdensende or to Osterroya. The tip with the boat trip to Bolaerne was good, we had a wonderful day at the island Bolaerne. We also went to Oslo on a hot summer day, see the Holmenkollen and the Opera. We explored some waterfall and a dream little lake somewhere. Please, say "hallo" to your father, Linda, he gave good advice for the house and what to see and to do. Maybe we will meet some day, this time we didn't see each other on our way. Herzliche Grüße von Frank, Ulrike & Emilie

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
We have an exchange for July 2024. But we are open for exchanges in October, Christmas, Easter and summer 2025!
Our house is comfortable, practical, and ideal for both families with children, and others who appreciate to stay close to the city and the sea.
Tolvsrød is an attractive erea, midways between Tønsberg city (4 km) and the fantastic beach Ringshaug (2 km). You could reach all the most interesting spots by bike. Within walking distance, you find beaches, cafes, training centre, woods, many playgrounds and what you need of basic shops and cafes. There are ferries taking you out to some of the islands for a daytrip.
The nighboughood is quiet and friendly with a playgroup next door.
Tønsberg is the eldest city in Norway, known as the summer city and for a friendly climate, and it is also famous for the vikings. In the summer, this is a popular holiday erea with short distance to many charming, small villages and cities, and the beautiful coast with all its islands. Oslo is also a very interesting city, only one hour with the train from Tønsberg.
If you want to go hiking in the mountains you find several nice places within 1-2 hours drive.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Tolvsrød is a popular and central erea in Tønsberg, close to beaches, and all basic shops within walking distance.
Our neighbourhoos is ideal for families with children, with many neighbouring playgrounds, many children and little traffic. Our garden is very private, and we have "our own" playground next door (the nighbours playground).
Tønsberg is the eldest city of Norway, and for Norwegians known as the summer city. The harbour with its old wooden buildings, restaurants and bars, festivals and shows, is a popular place. Tønsberg is situated by the Norwegian "sun coast" with all the charming "Vestfold cities" only a short drive away (within 20-30 minutes drive you come to Åsgårdstrand, Horten, Sandefjord and Larvik).
It is 1 hour to Oslo by car or train, and 30 minutes to Sandefjord Airport Torp.
Ps: Norway is not so expencive this year because of the valuta of the NOK. So 2024 is a economic year for holiday in Norway?
