Luxury holiday apartments in Nieblum on the island of Föhr

The Jonggöntje House was first mentioned in the island chronicles in 1785, as the residence of seafaring families. It was completely restored in 2012, although all the Frisian charm of this thatched gem has been preserved.  Since then this family-run holiday property has been divided into two luxuriously appointed houses and a holiday apartment.  The interior and exterior design features many touches that reflect the property's maritime history. Shades of blue and white as well as warm earth colours and high-quality materials create a stylish atmosphere. The garden with patio and the property's own sauna are perfect places to relax after eventful days. And if you are planning a holiday with a larger group (up to 12 guests), the normally separate halves of the house can also be combined to create a single unit.

The „Kapitän´s” House, which sleeps up to five, has an area of more than 100 m2 on two levels and offers plenty of space and privacy. The bespoke kitchen units and built-in wardrobes were hand-made by local craftsmen. The house faces south and has a well-equipped kitchen, two bathrooms, a sauna, an original Frisian tiled stove and a patio with garden furniture. There is one room with a double bed, and three single beds are shared between two further bedrooms, making sure you can enjoy a wonderful night's sleep.
