Welcome to the swedish best coast on the west coast!
We have kilometers and kilometers of beaches, most with sand and some with cliffs/stones. The closest beach is less than 10 minutes by car and is great for kids. 20 minutes to Tylösand, one of the greatest and most well known beaches in Sweden.
We are fairly close to the city center, just five minutes by car or ten by bus or bike.
The Space
Use the barbecue for dinner outside. Sit in the front outside of the house in the afternoon to enjoy the sunshine. When it gets darker, change to the conservatory on the other side of the house with infra heat. We love our long and bright summer evenings.
Garden and conservatory, patio on three sides of the house.
We have a big trampoline for the children in the garden and a bit of a potager where you pick zucchini, tomatoes and whatever else is growing.
We think our house is comfortable and spatious, with three bedrooms downstairs, living room and dining room which is open to a fourth bedroom which we could include in the exchange on the upstair floor.
Our beds:
90x200 cm in our childrens' rooms.
2 beds each 105x210 cm in master bedroom. They cannot be separated which means it's a 210x210 cm bed.
Guest Access
Three bedrooms on the ground floor, and one bedroom upstairs. All other rooms are on the ground floor.
Notes
We have 2 adult bicycles, 3 electric adult bicycles, 1 bicycle 24 inch and 1 bicycle 20 inch.
An EV charger you are welcome to use.
We will be happy to make suggestions of places to visit, we love our area and are happy to share it with others!

Neighbourhood
Playground is 100 metres away and supermarket is just a couple of minutes walk away. Mall with 90 stores 1,5 km away.
We live in a typical swedish house area with lots of houses and easy access to the roads, great for excursions. 10 minutes to town, 10 to the forest, less than 10 to the beach.
1 hour from Gothenburg, 2 from Copenhagen.
Getting to my home
I suggest to fly to Copenhagen, then either drive or take the train to Halmstad, appr. 2 hours. From the train station it's only a 10 minute bus ride to our house and I will give easy instructions on how to get to the bus stop which is close to the train station.
Great location for families and the house has everything you need for kids. Clean and easy communication with the host.
Close to lovely beaches and a good coffee place in Halmstad. Also recommend to visit the indoor swimming pool nearby if rainy weather. And very nice neighbours!
Annika and her family were very pleasant guests and communication was very easy. They took good care of the house and a big thank you for watering my citrus trees. The house was spotlessly clean. Thank you for your Swedish gifts. You will always be welcome at home. Christine and kids
Lovely guests and who took great care of our home as well as easy communication. Highly recommend!
We had a great week in Christine's home in Bordeaux! My children enjoyed the pool every day, me too 🙂. The house offered everything we needed during our trip.
The house is close to two supermarkets, Auchan and Carrefour, within walking distance, which was great for us, and we used Uber to go into Bordeaux center (10-15 minutes by car) and the nice market in Pessac. We especially loved the museum of illusions.
The air conditioning in the bedrooms during night was great, we all slept like babies.
Quiet and calm neighborhood with friendly neighbors.
We had very easy communication with Christine both before and during our stay. Thank you for this week and for the lovely welcome gifts.
We had a lovely stay in Mia's apartment this summer. Great apartment and great surroundings, our kids loved seeing the boats passing by from the balcony.
Very quiet surroundings with minimal traffic outside and walking distance to the metro as well as a bus stop just outside.
Great communication from Mia who also offered great help and lots of suggestions for excursions. We are very happy we swapped with Mia and her family!
Great guests who took very nice care of our house! Easy communication both before and during the exchange.
