Loviisa accommodation from NZ$157

I recently had the pleasure of spending time in this beautiful lakeside cottage in Finland. Nestled among graceful silver birch trees, the cottage offers a perfect balance of peace, comfort, and nature’s beauty. The lush green foliage and wildflowers surrounding the property create a feeling of seclusion, making it an ideal escape from the bustle of everyday life.The cottage itself is charming — a classic red wooden home with white trim, exuding warmth and character. The wraparound porch is adorned with colourful blooms, and from here you can enjoy a morning coffee while listening to the gentle rustle of the trees. Inside, everything is cosy and welcoming, with the added necessities of wifi, the modern television, and hot running water.Just a short walk away, a private dock extends out over the water, offering uninterrupted views of the serene lake. Sitting on the deck by the shore, an occasional boat may pass in the distance. The surrounding reeds and islands add to the sense of privacy and tranquillity. The gardens are equally delightful, with vibrant purple clematis, striking tiger lilies, and cheerful cornflowers in shades of blue and violet. These splashes of colour contrast beautifully with the deep greens of the surrounding trees which offer a beautiful peaceful retreat.This Finnish cottage is a true hidden gem — perfect for anyone seeking natural beauty, quiet moments, and the simple pleasures of lakeside living. I left feeling refreshed and inspired.

We loved the island, the house, the sauna, the peace and quiet. Liz and Tom are wonderful hosts - very helpful when necessary, however they seem to have considered all the amenities and the cottage contains all you need for a lovely relaxing stay. We felt deeply calm and refreshed by this holiday.

As promised. Clean and convenient. A bit expensive considering no reception/ "self- service"
