Ferienwohnung – Fasten Ur Seatbelts

Fasten Ur Seatbelts, Norderney, Inselhouse

The Inselhouse Norderney scores points in every respect when it comes to location: it is both directly in the town and very close to the sea. This means that guests can enjoy both advantages and either plunge into the lively hustle and bustle or indulge in long walks on the beach. All the important sights of Norderney as well as the centre with shopping opportunities, restaurants and cafés are within walking distance. After about two kilometres, holidaymakers also reach Norderney’s harbour, which is well worth seeing and can be the starting point of a great boat trip.

Inselhouse Norderney: Living in style

The entire holiday domicile on Norderney is characterised by soft colours, a bright design and harmonious decorations. Guests can immediately feel at home there. Thanks to the large windows, all the accommodation units are flooded with light and radiate the necessary tranquillity that everyone inevitably associates with the North Sea. 21 flats between 52 and 112 square metres are available and are suitable for couples as well as families of different sizes. Each room has a balcony, an open plan design and impressive interiors by Danish brand Carl Hansen & Son. Free Wi-Fi is available in all areas in case guests want to do a little work while on holiday.

The Inselhouse Norderney attaches great importance to sustainability. Solar panels are used to heat the domestic water, the underfloor heating can be controlled separately for each room and the roof is greened with regional materials. This attracts native birds to nest and the animals can breed in a protected environment. Some of the flats allow dogs, which means that guests with four-legged friends are also very welcome.

Inselhouse Norderney: Leisure activities for the whole family

At and around the Inselhouse Norderney there are many possibilities for leisure activities to choose from. From the house, guests can use surfboards, beach chairs, handcarts, sand toys as well as bicycles if needed. The island is perfect to explore by bike. Flat cycle paths lead along the beach and to all the sights. The inner city area is restricted to motor vehicles, making it pleasant for bicycle tours. There are always great playgrounds along the beach, so a bike ride with the whole family is exciting and fun for everyone. Everyone can fortify themselves with coffee, hot chocolate and cake at the beach restaurant “Weiße Düne” and enjoy the view of the North Sea and the seagulls flying by from the panorama windows.

Not far from the Inselhouse is the Junkmann riding stable, which guests can reach after a 15-minute walk. Pony rides are offered daily for the little ones. Should the weather not play along, the accommodation has a modern playroom for the children. Adult guests, meanwhile, will find a change of pace in the well-equipped fitness room and the wellness area with sanarium, relaxation room and a Finnish sauna. Those who feel like sports and exercise can borrow the utensils for table tennis and play a round together with the family or other Inselhouse guests.

An absolute recommendation for the physical well-being is the surf café, which spoils guests with culinary delights at any time of the day. For traditional Nordic cuisine, the “Schmuggler” restaurant is a wonderful tip – however, a table reservation is advisable, as the restaurant rightly enjoys great popularity.

As you may have noticed on my Instagram account last weekend, Caro and I were in London for a weekend. Actually, our trip had not started so well since Ryanair had canceled our outbound flight on Friday night a few weeks ago. BUT we were able to re-book for free and leave Saturday morning. In addition, there was a 40 € voucher, which I have, of course, already redeemed. The return flights from Cologne to London have cost 28 €.

We were accommodated in an apartment that is just 5 minutes walk from Victoria Coach Station. So it was super easy to get into the city by bus from London Stansted, and we were right by our apartment, which is also minutes from Buckingham Palace, Westminster Cathedral and the other; ideal for walking around much of London’s hot spots and saving yourself the expensive Oyster ticket.
I found our accommodation on holidu.com, the search engine for apartments, so I did not have to compare all apartments from different providers, but I could directly choose the right apartment on holidu.com!
Of course, if you are in London for only 1 ½ days, you do not have much time to explore everything. But are you ready for my highlights??!!!

Wie ihr bestimmt auf meinem Instagram Account letztes Wochenende mitbekommen habt, waren die Caro und ich in London für ein Wochenende! Eigentlich hatte unsere Reise nicht ganz so gut begonnen, da Ryanair vor ein paar Wochen unseren Hinflug am Freitagabend storniert hatte. ABER wir konnten kostenlos umbuchen und Samstag früh losfliegen. Zusätzlich gab es noch einen 40€ Gutschein, den ich natürlich schon eingelöst habe. Die Flüge von Köln nach London haben hin und zurück 28€ gekostet.

Untergebracht waren wir in einem Apartment nur 5 Gehminuten von der Victoria Coach Station entfernt. So konnten wir super easy mit dem Bus vom London Stansted in die Stadt gebracht werden und waren direkt an unserem Apartment – welches auch nur wenige Minuten vom Buckingham Palace, Westminster Cathedral und dem entfernt ist. Ideal um einen Großteil der Londoner Hot Spots zu Fuß abzulaufen und sich das teure Oyster Ticket zu sparen!
Gefunden hatte ich unsere Unterkunft über holidu.de , der Suchmaschine für Ferienwohnungen. So musste ich nicht alle Wohnungen von verschiedenen Anbietern vergleichen, sondern konnte mir direkt die passende Wohnung auf holidu.de aussuchen!

Wenn ihr nur für 1 ½ Tage in London seid, habt ihr natürlich nicht viel Zeit, um alles zu erkunden. Deswegen habe ich für euch meine Highlights!

Food:

– Breakfast at the Sketch in Mayfair
– Tea Time with Peggy Porschen
– Dinner at OXO Tower Restaurant.
Of course, you will get a detailed food guide from me soon!

Ihr bekommt aber natürlich noch einen ausführlichen Food Guide von mir!

Shopping:

– Oxfort Street
– Soho
– Harrods / Knightsbridge
– Regent Street

Sightseeing:

– Big Ben
– London Eye
– Westminster Abbey
– Christmas lights at Regent Street

Shopping & Sightseeing: We have just been shopping all Saturday and admiring the Christmas lights in the shopping streets. But on Sundays, we got up very early so we could see London Eye & Co before the tourist rush. If you also want to go to the London Eye, I recommend the VIP Ticket. Although it costs 40 pounds, but you do not have to wait long, so you will still have time left of the day. Do not forget to take a picture with a red phone booth. 😉
Get around: From the airport, the quickest way to get to the city is by train. I’ll do that again in the future because a bus ride takes just under 2 hours. In the city, we did almost everything on foot or drove UBER because it is almost as expensive to 2, as if we had each bought a day ticket for just under 17 €.

Wir haben den ganzen Samstag nur geshoppt und die Weihnachtslichter in den Einkaufsstraßen bewundert. Aber sonntags sind wir dann extra ganz früh aufgestanden, damit wir London Eye & Co noch vor dem Touristenansturm sehen konnten. Wenn ihr auch aufs London Eye gehen wollt, empfehle ich euch das VIP Ticket. Es kostet zwar 40 Pfund, aber dafür müsst ihr nicht lange anstehen und habt noch etwas vom Tag! Vergesst nicht ein Bild mit einer roten Telefonzelle zu machen. 😉

Get around: Vom Flughafen kommt ihr am schnellsten mit der Bahn in die Stadt. Das werde ich in Zukunft auch wieder machen, da eine Busfahrt knapp 2 Stunden dauert. In der Stadt haben wir fast alles zu Fuß gemacht oder sind UBER gefahren, da es zu zweit fast genauso teuer ist, wie wenn wir uns jeder ein Tagesticket gekauft hätten für knapp 17€.
