Private holiday house

A whole house near the sea in Halland.


This house is for people who want the coast without the crowd. Not a resort, not a room in someone else’s home — the whole place, to yourself, for as long as you stay.

Mornings are slow here. Coffee at the breakfast bar before anyone else is up, the garden still wet, deer working along the treeline. The beach is four minutes away by car, and most days you will have long stretches of it to yourself.

Our thinking

From the perspective of a family


You do not come to Halland to be entertained. You come to have breakfast without a schedule, to walk on Laholm Bay until the light goes, to cook something unhurried and eat it with the door open.

Practically, everything is close: Halmstad is fifteen minutes north, Båstad twenty-five south, Copenhagen and Gothenburg both within a comfortable drive. Getting here is easy. Once you are here, the pace drops immediately.

What you take home is not a list of things you did. It is the feeling of a week that was genuinely your own.

Accommodation

One floor, arranged for an easy week.


Two bedrooms and 4 beds in total, including the sofa bed in the living room. One bathroom, and a garden you can actually use. The main rooms run into one another, so cooking, eating and sitting by the fire all happen in the same connected space.

The house

Calm, warm, uncomplicated


Grey clapboard, a red front door, a raised timber deck facing the lawn. Inside there is light, wide pine boards, and a wood-burning stove between the kitchen and the sofa.

Nothing here is showy. Warm oak in the kitchen, white linen in the bedrooms, room to put your feet up. It is a real family house rather than a staged one — which is precisely why it works for a week.

Location

Eldsberga, on Sweden’s west coast.


The house sits in Eldsberga, Laholm Municipality, a few minutes inland from the long sand beaches of Laholm Bay.

Halmstad, the largest town on this stretch of coast, is a quarter of an hour north. Båstad and the Bjäre peninsula are twenty-five minutes south. Several nature reserves are within easy reach, and Vallåsen has skiing in winter.

The ring marks the village, not the property — the exact address comes with your booking confirmation. A drawn map, not to scale: it shows what lies which way, and the drive times beside each place are the real figures.
  • Sunset over Laholm Bay: the sun low on the horizon under banded orange and grey cloud, its light drawn out across still water, a dark headland to the left and grass and a pine in silhouette across the foreground

    The bay the house sits behind — four minutes from the door by car, and long enough that most days you will have a stretch of it to yourself.

  • Halmstad Castle floodlit at night beside the river, its stepped gable and green copper spire lit warm against a black sky, a white sailing ship moored in front and the lights mirrored in still water

    Halmstad town centre

    15 min

    The liveliest evenings on this stretch of coast: bars, restaurants and cafés around Stora torg and along Storgatan, fifteen minutes from the house.

  • A wide, empty stretch of pale sand at Tylösand under a heavy cloudy sky, the sea breaking along the left and a wooden post carrying a clock face and an orange and white lifebuoy on the right

    approx. 20 min

    Halmstad’s best-known beach, with its landmark lifeguard tower.

  • The tennis stadium at Båstad from the air on a clear summer day, blue courts and stands ringed by red-roofed buildings, the beach and a pier beyond and open sea to the horizon

    Nordea Open, Båstad

    25 min

    Sweden’s oldest tennis tournament, played on clay in Båstad every July since 1948 — Borg, Wilander and Nadal have all won it, and the town fills for the week.

    Vallåsen

    approx. 30 min

    The nearest downhill skiing, about half an hour inland on the Hallandsås ridge — floodlit runs within reach of a winter stay.

  • Torekov harbour from the air: a curving stone breakwater, a marina full of white yachts, red and yellow boathouses along the quay, rocky shore in the foreground and the village and its church tower behind

    Bjäre peninsula

    approx. 35–40 min

    Past Båstad to Torekov — fishing villages and cliff walks.

Around the house


We are happy to point you at the coast walks, the swimming spots and the places worth a table. A few starting points:

Guests & privacy

A family house.


Quiet, comfortable, and yours for the week. The house takes up to 6 guests and is let as a whole home — you have the run of it, and you do not share it with anyone. It suits families and small groups who want a quiet week. It is not suitable for parties or events.

Good to know before you arrive

  • Sleeping arrangements. Bedroom one has a king bed. Bedroom two has two single beds. The living room’s sofa bed sleeps two more.
  • Firewood. The wood-burning stove is one of the house’s best features, but firewood isn’t supplied — please bring your own.
  • Curtains. There are no blackout curtains, and a few of the dining area windows have none at all. Worth knowing if you’re a light sleeper, particularly around midsummer.
  • Getting in. Entry is by keypad, no key and no meeting anyone required. Your door code arrives with your written booking confirmation, ready for check-in after 4:00 pm.
