Getting around

Hiring a car is the only way of getting around the island conveniently. I have secure special rates for my customers booking through me with a local car rental company. There are bus services that run throughout Shetland but not the best for the sightseeing. There are a number of good tour companies for exploring the nature and birds Shetland has to offer. We can put you in touch with a renown tour operator who is about 15 minutes away from us.

Interaction with guest

We are a chilled out couple, and here to make you feel at home at Voortrekker. We are available to help before and during your stay with traveling around the island and anything else we can assist with. We love a good chat so always up for a cuppa!
