The Property

4 Stars

Oxna is a beautiful Scandinavian style holiday lodge built and furnished to the highest standards. Spacious, bright and tastefully decorated this 4 Star luxury lodge is the ultimate in self-catering accommodation and can comfortably sleep up to 3 people.

This luxury self-catering holiday accommodation in Shetland is one of two lodges located in the beautifully unspoilt area of Fladdabister & Ocraquoy on the South Mainland of Shetland and has exceptional seaviews over the Bay of Ocraquoy below and out towards the islands of Bressay & Noss. Indeed, there would be few lodges in the world that offers the discerning guests such unique surroundings – Oxna Lodge really does capture the essence of Shetland’s natural beauty.

A completely magical and dreamlike break for us all -
seals, otters, porpoises and more stars in the sky
than we imagined possible”

From the large front windows you can admire the huge variety of vessels entering Lerwick harbour from small sailing boats to the large but graceful cruiseliners.

Also from your window you can watch otters & seals at play or you may even catch sight of the porpoises and killer whales which regularly patrol the coastline or better still, you could take the 2 minute stroll down to the shore and get amongst this amazing wildlife!

You can’t beat the view from the lounge window – we have seen all sorts of wild goings on – starlings defending territory, newborn lambs at play, seals basking, rabbits, swallows, and lots of birds. And best of all – otters in the bay!”

This beautiful lodge has been carefully designed & furnished to the highest standards for the discerning visitor who recognises the importance of comfort, cleanliness, privacy & quality. Great care has been taken throughout to provide an environment of not only great natural beauty, but also one which will remain timeless for years to come.

We have made optimum use of the space by designing an open-plan living/dining room & kitchen area and the large front windows ensure that whether you’re preparing breakfast in the kitchen, relaxing on the comfortable leather suite in the living room or sat at the dining room table, you can be assured of the most magnificent sea-views!

The lodge is extremely well equipped with LED Smart TV with Freeview channels, DVD player and Hifi system & a selection of games, DVDs, books and maps. The rooms are heated with a combination of storage & panel heaters plus an electric fire in the centre of the living room.

Wi-Fi   Free Wi-Fi access in Lodge.

The fully-equipped kitchen is modern and spacious and comes with a fitted double oven, fitted dishwasher & fridge, washing machine, microwave, kettle, toaster & cafetiere. All crockery, cutlery, kitchen towels and cleaning utensils are provided.

There are two bedrooms – one with kingsize bed and LED TV and the other bedroom with twin beds – both of which are tastefully decorated and furnished in quality pine. All bed-linen supplied.

The luxury bathroom comes complete with modern fitted units, bath with power shower and heated towel rail. Bathroom towels, iron and ironing board are supplied.

What’s nearby

This property has the most perfect location for exploring the whole of Shetland.

What a view to wake up to and only a stones throw from great days out!”

On the doorstep you have all the gems of the South including the “Mousa Broch” in Sandwick; the beautiful sandy beaches of Levenwick & St Ninians Isle in Bigton, and further South can be found the Sumburgh Head Nature Reserve, the ancient settlement of “Jarlshof” and the excavations at Scatness to name but a few!

A short walk away is McKenzies Farm Shop and The Kitchen Table cafe, as well as an electric vehicle charging point.

Lerwick is an easy 10 minute drive North with all the activities and amenities you would expect from such a vibrant Capital.

And remember, it’s less than an hour’s drive from here to the most northerly tip of Shetland and from where small inter-island ferries can take you to the North Isles of Yell, Unst, Fetlar and Skerries for the day!

A lovely chalet with virtually everything we needed and more! Stunning views and a great central base for exploring Shetland!”
