Feel the peace, beauty and purity of Norway

We are Anke & Geert, the driving forces behind feelathome – an indoor & outdoor living shop between Antwerp and Brussels.

We realised our dream in Norway, on a plateau in the mountains. Near the end of the world we created a place where we can fully unwind: this is our lodge, Hjemmebu.

We would like to share this unique place on earth with others. It would be such a shame to keep this just for ourselves. That is why we are now renting our Norwegian home. Because that is exactly what it is for us.

The purity of nature

Norway is living outdoors

The Norwegians are the happiest people in the world according to the “World Happiness Report”.  Freedom, honesty, well-being, health…. the fact that they are surrounded by nature everywhere certainly is a contributing factor.

Experience for yourself why they are so happy!

Spring. From hot to cold. Nature comes back to life. Colours change quickly because of the blooming flowers and trees. Due to the loads of melting water the waterfalls are most spectacular to see in this season.

Summer. Think of green. Think of water. Think of vast fjords and swirling rivers. Long days and short nights. You can live outside almost day and night. The delicious rays of sun give new energy. You are surrounded by nature anywhere you go. Feel and taste the freedom.

Autumn. Nature colours red, yellow and orange. Berries and mushrooms are ripe to be picked. But the days become shorter and the night is entirely dark again. Heavy autumn storms announce the nearing of winter. Norway is preparing and bracing for winter again.

Winter.White. Plains and mountains full of snow. Doused in sunshine … everyone goes outside. -20°C or even colder. No one cares. Skiing, cross-country skiing, sledding, snowshoeing … it gives you a warm feeling.
