The accommodation (Aurora Cabin) is everything you would expect from this region, very clean, minimal, cosy and warm. We were a family of 4 with 2 boys aged 11 and 12 and the room space was sufficient, but did require us to be tidy and organised with clothing/ wet boots and ski gear etc. Not sure if 4 adults would be comfortable - needs more storage space.
The staff were charming and could not do enough for us - also very open to suggestions on ways to improve and develop the resort.
The boys had unlimited free rides on the kids skidoos, There were loads of sledges available for the boys to play on, opportunities to make ice sculptures and we loved the outdoor open fire to stand around in the evenings. There were also purpose built sledging runs which were fun.The traditional sauna was amazing, beautifully constructed.
The resort is a little out of Rovaniemi City, but not far from the airport. We used a taxi to get in and out of the city with ease, be aware taxi's are expensive in this region.
The food at the resort was a traditional buffet style fare, with salmon, reindeer soups and pies, rye breads and plenty of blueberries! Simple, traditional and good quality food, which we all enjoyed.
This is a very new resort and of course there will always be areas to develop and improve on. The staff couldn't do enough for us and were very keen for feedback and how they could improve the resort. We had a great experience and I would love to return to this beautiful area and stay at Apukka Resort again.
