Sundbysand

Sundbysand
Sundby farm on Storsand is a peaceful and beautiful meeting place, for events with colleagues and customers, as well as for socializing with friends and family, and for memorials. The farm is located on a ridge over the Oslo Fjord with great views of the Drøbaksundet.

In the barn we welcome you into "Fjøset" and "Grisehuset".

With its white-painted timber walls, "Fjøset" is well suited for companies and associations for various meetings, also with subsequent lunch or dinner. The venue is also great for various cultural events, and widely used for socializing through life's anniversaries. "The Pig House" is the perfect place to gather for a welcome, work in groups, hold an intimate concert, devote yourself or just for a little quiet time during the event.

On fine days, the garden characterized by old oak trees, fruit trees, ornamental shrubs, as well as hundreds of roses with great views of the Oslo Fjord can be used as desired and needed. The surrounding area, the garden and the premises can also be used for photography and video shoots.

We are flexible and helpful in organizing your event. We are happy to share our experiences with everything from food, including chefs and catering, to logistics for the day. Sundbysand does not cook or sell drinks, but we are happy to serve and assist.

Sundby Gård has its place in both the Norwegian and world history. Locally, we have a lot of history around us from older to recent times. We mention caverns, Viking burial ground, ice dam, Oscarsborg fortress, and the remains of a tragic plane crash. Of greater world political history is that Leo Trotsky, Russian revolutionary hero and leader of the "Red Army" was interned here in the fall of 1936. Trotsky was granted asylum in Norway after great political controversy, and it is said that he is the most important historical figure to have lived in Norway in recent time.

Trosky himself called the farm "Sundby prison", but the place today seems far more hospitable. We are happy to tell you a little about the history of the farm during your event.

Sundby Gård is located approx. 35-40 min drive from central Oslo, via the Olsofjord tunnel.

The place is suitable for 10 to 90 guests, depending on the type of event.

Quality Hotel Entry

You will find us just on the outskirts of Oslo – between Oslo (approx. 10 minutes) and the TusenFryd amusement park (approx. 8 minutes). The Quality Hotel Entry lies in green surroundings at Mastemyr, encircled by a park. It has free parking for guests and is about a 10 minute walk from Hvervenbukta beach. In recent years, the hotel has been significantly renovated and now has 155 modern guest rooms and completely new restaurant and conference facilities.

Conferences

During the winter, the Quality Hotel Entry is a course and conference hotel. We have close to 20 meeting rooms, the largest of which can seat over 400 people. We offer facilities for parties, conferences, exhibitions and events. In addition, we strongly recommend that our guests make use of the park surrounding the hotel for both activities and recreation.

Tusenfryd

The hotel fills up every summer with expectant TusenFryd guests. In cooperation with TysenFryd, we have created favourably priced packages that include entrance ticket, accommodation and of course, a delicious breakfast.

The child-friendly hotel

Apart from Tusenfryd, we have many activities at the hotel during the summer for both young and old. Outside in the park, you can play soccer or other games. Indoors, we have ping-pong, movies on the big screen TV, drawing, painting, Legos, etc. During the school holidays, we have an activity leader that spends a few hours every night with the children. Sometimes there might be a disco night, or maybe a soccer match. The children can play undisturbed here while the adults enjoy a dinner in peace and quiet.

The Quality Hotel Entry is the ideal point of departure for visits to both Follo and Oslo. Park your car here if you don’t want to drive in Oslo, you can take a 15 minute bus ride to the city centre. Purchase an Oslo card at the reception and gain access to both attractions and transportation, either free of charge or at sharply reduced rates. If you would like to go shopping, we strongly recommend the Kolbotn Torg shopping centre, which is just a couple of minutes away or Norwegian Outlet (www.norwegianoutlet.no) in Vestby, which is about 15 minutes away.
