We live in a houseboat in Stockholm. Very soon we will be leaving for a longer trip - with our campervan - and before we do, we want to show you some photos from our accommodation in Pampa's marina.

Houseboat in Stockholm in Pampas marina

We live in Pampas marina, located in City of Solna in Stockholm County. Although we live in Solna, we are very close to the centre of Stockholm. Across the water is Hornsbergs strand on Kungsholmen and it only takes about half an hour to walk to Sankt Eriksplan.

The Pampas marina has both small and large houseboats, as well as floating villas, pleasure boats and businesses. In the distance you can see the big city Stockholm with its tall buildings.

Pampas marina - accommodation for 40 houseboats and floating villas

The Pampas marina has accommodation for 40 houseboats and floating villas. There are around 25 floating villas and 15 houseboats here. The floating villas are houses built by a subsidiary of Pampas marina AB.

The houseboats are all kinds of boats: barges, passenger sloops and the white oblong 'Villa Voyager'.

Aquavillas are large floating villas, usually with three floors, that serve as exclusive accommodation on water.

Staying in a houseboat in Stockholm - a great place to live

We think it's great to live in a houseboat in Stockholm. We live in a, comparatively, slightly smaller houseboat which once served as a passenger sloop. Today the boat has been converted into a houseboat and serves as just that - a charming rocking accommodation on water.

Of course, not everything is fantastic exactly all the time. There are hassles with everything from mortgages to insurance, and the maintenance is similar to that of a house. Men the crashing of the waves and the sound of the birds and flags drown out most of any doubts ...

Houseboat

The living space in our houseboat is around 75 square metres and we have everything we need for two people, including a dishwasher and washing machine. We also have a deck with a patio for six people.

Houseboat Sweden

From the deck we have a view of the inlet and there is always something going on! In the summers there are small boats, kayaks and stand up paddle boards. In winter, there are icebreakers and other marina boats at work. Or maybe it's ice floes, birds or fish that catch our attention...

Restaurant K4

The marina is home to the K4 restaurant, which serves a great meal. Stockholm brunchbut also lunch and dinner. Right now they are setting up a new nice outdoor seating / pergola and it will be a real boost for the summer! Even the tent next door, which is still in the picture, will be replaced with something completely new. Come here this summer and check it out!

Canoe hire

In the marina you can also find canoe hire at Paddling in the Pampas. From here, you can paddle into the centre of Stockholm, or out towards the Sundbyberg.

From houseboat in Stockholm to motorhome in the world

We live in a houseboat in Stockholm and we have a motorhome. Soon, soon we will leave in the motorhome for a four-month motorhome trip in Sweden and Europe. The houseboat will be looked after by neighbours and friends, and we will go on an adventure. Follow here on freedomtravel.se and on Instagram at @freedomtravelnews.
