It might be on a small site of 14 acres, but Manshausen’s innovative event concept is hard to replicate. This intimate location lies on Manshausen Island, away from the busy scene of Bodø. But it’s not just your typical hotel; it’s a specially built Nynaustet (boathouse) where your team can come together and brainstorm, strategically plan, and host meetings.
If you’re looking for a large venue to host 100s of attendees, this may not be the right choice for you; Manshausen focuses on small-scale team off-sites and leadership retreats with group sizes between 20 and 30 attendees. The traditional wooden boathouse is the main site where your business operations will take place; it features industry-leading AV equipment and plush seating arrangements to accommodate all your attendees. In the main house, there’s an exceptional restaurant with a second-floor library that you can also use for your workflow. For smaller meetings with just a few participants, the sea cabins with glass facades overlooking the ocean offer the extra layer of privacy you desire.
Seven tastefully decorated sea cabins and two sea towers make up the group accommodation options at Manshausen. Labelling their designs as outstanding would hardly do them justice; for instance, the two sea towers have won 40 architectural awards. Combining serenity and cosiness, a night’s sleep in one of these will offer you and your attendees the ultimate hideaway.
Just because you’ll be on a secluded island doesn’t mean there won’t be anything to do during your downtime; in fact, it will be quite the opposite. The travel incentives here are plentiful: thrill-seekers can tackle the rugged mountain climb of the Nordskot Traverse, while lovers of the sea have the opportunity to embark on fishing expeditions. Prefer to relax? On-site, you’ll have the sauna and hot tub all to yourselves.
