Norjan kiertomatkan lopuksi yövyttiin SaariselÀllÀ. Saunassa eka rentoutumassa, iltapala yhteisessÀ viihtyisÀssÀ keittiössÀ, omissa huoneissa jÀÀkaappi, hyvÀt vuoteet ja hiljainen yö. Aamulla buffetaamiainen oli loistava.
Det var ett fint stÀlle, hÀftiga timmerhus. Bra gÀstkök att laga mat i.
Trevligt tv rum.
Bra toalett och dusch, vi hann tyvÀrr inte med bastun. Frukosten som var pÄ ett hotell nÄgra minuters promenad frÄn boendet var ocksÄ bra.
Porakka on uskomattoman tunnelmallinen majoitusliike joka tarjoaa mahtavat puitteet aktiiviliikkujille. Aitoa Lappitunnelmaa ja entisaikojen kansallisromanttista Lapinrauhaa keholle ja mielelle. Ei ihme, ettÀ edesmennyt presidenttimme on alueeseen muinoin ihastunut. Muutama kymmenen metriÀ kansallispuiston rajaan on luontoliikkujan unelma. Tunnelmallinen sauna kruunaa ulkoilupÀivÀt. Lauteilla mieli vaeltaa syvÀlle edellisen vuosisadan puolelle ja ilmassa leijuu aitoa Lapintaikaa.
Vessassa oli epÀmiellyttÀvÀ haju ja keittiön hanasta ei tullut kylmÀÀ vettÀ. Muuten paikka on oikein hyvÀ majapaikka. Saunaan pÀÀsi omaan tahtiin.
The facilities are new and very clean. Place is cozy. Check in was not easy. You must have a car to go from the place where you pick up the keys to the room. We got there late at night and picked up the keys in a green box in a parking lot. We got lost while looking for the room, road and access to the building were not clear, there was at least one foot of snow. Definitely not a walkable distance to do with luggage, children or seniors.
We stayed at Kuukkeli Porakka for a week in feb. We were looking for a log cabin that was close to everything in the village, with great access to thr national park, and this was it. The shered bathroom was a slight worry, but it was clean and we could always use it when we wanted, it wasn't too busy. The room was comfy and quiet. For thr money it was perfect.
Please refund our money. We turned up to the lodge with our 2 young children. It was cold and getting late. We knocked, nobody was there. We called, nobody answered. Had to find other accomodation :(
This hotel is a beautiful log house. It is situated less than 100 meters from the hiking routes of Urho Kekkonen National Park. There aren't toilets or showers in rooms. Toilets, showers, a washing machine, a drying room for clothes, a microwave owen etc. are shared with other customers. However, there are a small flat screen tv and a refrigerator in an own room. The reception is situated 800 meters from the hotel. This accommodation is well-kept, very charming and close to nature, not too near to other buildings.
Rommene var praktiske og enkle men veldig koselige, en fikk fÞlelsen Ä vÊre pÄ hyttetur, men det var gode fasiliteter, som f.eks nye opppusset dusj, do og bastu. Vi hadde veldig trivelig opphold med familien med mye uteaktiviteter, skilÞypene var helt ved siden av overnattingsstedet. I gangen var det mulighet Ä koke kaffe,te og lage noe mikrobÞlgeovn mat, men det hadde vÊrt fint Ä hatt tilgang til Ä bruke kopper, bestikk og tallerker.
