Sommerhus a Danish inspired beach front retreat

Staying at Sommerhus Vivonne Bay was honestly the perfect way to slow right down.

We stayed for 5 days and it gave us the space to truly unwind — no rushing, no agenda, just time. No matter the weather, there was always so much to do. There are amazing wineries nearby, it’s close to the national park, and the whole area invites you to explore or simply be.

We loved coming home each day to such a gorgeous space. It’s the kind of place you actually want to spend time in. The kitchen has everything you need to cook a delicious meal, and the Nespresso machine for morning coffee is always a win — especially when you’re waking up slowly.

The outdoor deck is next level. Catching the last of the sun with a platter and local wine quickly became our favourite ritual — so simple, so good.

The beach is literally a 2-minute walk. We packed picnics and spent a few afternoons down there, went for long morning beach walks, and my husband even took the fishing rod down for a cast. Easy, grounding, and exactly what a getaway should feel like.

Oh, and they have a record player, outdoor shower and so many books to dive into!

This stay was about rest, reconnection, and enjoying the little moments. We left feeling calm, refreshed, and already talking about when we’ll come back ✨
