Welcome to a charming and authentic home in the heart of the idyllic fishing village of Edshultshall on the island of Orust. Just 50 meters from the sea and harbor, you'll have easy access to cliffs, swimming ladders, and a boat berth. The house has been carefully renovated to preserve its 19th-century character, making it perfect for families or friends seeking proximity to the sea and archipelago life.
The accommodation sleeps up to 7 guests across three bedrooms: one on the ground floor with a double bed (160 cm), one upstairs with a larger double bed (180 cm), and a third with a pull-out IKEA bed (2×80 cm) and a single 80 cm bed. A curtain separates the two upstairs bedrooms instead of a door, providing an airy and open feel. The house features a bathroom with shower and toilet, as well as a cozy living room with TV and DVD player. The kitchen is fully equipped – including a dishwasher – and retains charming details like an old cast-iron stove (not in use).
Enjoy your morning coffee on the small rooftop terrace with views stretching all the way to Käringön. The small garden is inviting, with outdoor furniture, a parasol, and a charcoal grill. A boat berth may be available upon request – perfect for exploring the nearby islets. One small dog is welcome.
Things to do in Edshultshall and surroundings:
Edshultshall is a gem on the west side of Orust, known for its small docks, swimming spots, and tranquil atmosphere. Don’t miss an evening dip from the diving board on the little island connected by footbridges, or book the sauna by the swimming area. Fresh fish is sometimes sold directly by local fishermen in the harbor – a culinary treat!
The school ship "Westkust", a beautiful three-masted schooner, offers day trips from the harbor during the summer. Halla’s Boat & Fishing arranges seal safaris and various fishing excursions – a hit with the whole family. The sandy beach in Barrevik is only 500 meters away.
Recommended excursions include boat trips to the car-free islands of Gullholmen or Käringön from Tuvesvik (approx. 9 km). On Orust, you’ll also find farm shops, hiking trails, and cozy cafés like Tavlebords Honey Farm. Sundsby Manor on nearby Tjörn is a great day trip with hiking, caves, and a café famous for its shrimp sandwich.
