On a clear day one can see as far north to the Noss cliffs with it's distinctive Noupe. On the east side of the island we enjoy magnificent sunrises, extraordinary skylines from the western sunsets and on wild, windy days crashing waves over the cliff tops.

We take hygiene extremely serious which has always been at the top of our priority list. We want to ensure that when you stay here you know that we are adhering to a high standard of hygiene and cleanliness. To help us further the ASSC has provided accommodation providers with cleaning protocol and guidelines.
Voortrekker guest's have access to a private Spa Area with Hot Tub and Sauna with panoramic views across the Southpunds. Whether sightseeing by car or rambling across the vast coastline of Shetland it's common to have aches and pains at the end of the day. It's important for your body to recuperate and why not relax in style in our very own indoor handcrafted Spa Area.
The Northern Lights are known as the Mirrie Dancers here in Shetland. And no wonder we have our own special name for them, we have the best seats in Britain for viewing this winter spectacular and they are a regular sight on clear, cold nights. Even though they are not guaranteed, the night skies themselves give some of the best star gazing in the UK.
We are 15 minutes, 8.8 miles, north from the airport. Driving north, follow the road out of the airport and turn right, sign posted (The North, Lerwick A970), 5 miles north you will arrive in Dunrossness, where you will find our local fully stock supermarket and petrol station, continue for about another 3.8 miles, once you pass a little yellow sign (THRS), you are nearly there.

I can’t recommend this place enough. Just had such a relaxing weekend there. Niki & Piet are so welcoming and friendly. The apartment we had is beautiful and spotless, everything we needed and more was there. The Hot tub and sauna was superb and what a view to have. It’s a place you need to try, we will definitely be back.

We have just spent 3 wonderful days at Voortrekker, in Southpunds apartment, attention to detail is phenomenal 👌🏻 beautiful apartment with absolutely everything you could wish for or need and spotlessly clean!… The Hot Tub & Sauna are excellent, with stunning views from the hot tub, again spotlessly clean, with Towelling Robes, Slippers and Towels all provided! Niki & Piet are fantastic hosts, as are their peerie pups and goats! Loved our stay and will definitely be returning, thank you! 😁

What a fantastic place and owners !
I stayed here recently with my wife for a birthday surprise and it really couldn't of been better. On arrival we were met by Nikki and shown around the property and how to reserve the spa. The accommodation was just perfect for weekend relax and had everything we could want and more.
Piet had been fishing and brought us some fresh mackerel which was a lovely gesture and he also gave us some smoked mackerel to take home on departure.
The spa was just perfect, the views outstanding and the hosts really couldn't do enough for us.
I wish we had found this place

We had a wonderful week staying at Voortrekker. Our hosts Nikki and Piet were so friendly and couldn't do enough to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. They went truly above and beyond the call of duty as they even helped me, at short notice to see an emergency dentist!
Our accomodation was great, it was very clean and so comfortable, we certainly loved the wrap around incredible views from the house and appreciated Piet's attention to detail and creativity in the interior, for example the doors to the bathroom had been made from some reclaimed wood from a disused,derlict church!

Thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at Voortrekker Shetland, Niki and Piet are wonderful hosts and their attention to detail to make a stay as comfortable and relaxing as possible is first class. The accommodation they have built is to a very high standard and the hot tub and sauna adds to the whole experience along with the lovely views over Levenwick from the spa room.

Niki and Piet provide superb accommodation in their Mogill apartment. There are open views to the coast in two directions, the best being to the east, of the fulmar covered cliff of Quinni Geo. The view to the north is of the hill behind, distant houses, some built in a Nordic style and more of the coast. There is private access from the outside and a small patio area with a garden seat, usually sheltered from the wind and facing the sea.
Although the weather was fine for us, there is underfloor heating, soundproofed walls and triple glazing. The bathroom is effectively soundproofed from the main

Me and my partner stayed here for 2 nights, the service from the start has been perfect. Absolutely fantastic place, first impression was the initial wow factor at how stunning the whole place is, second thing was how spotlessly clean everything is. It’s obvious how much work goes into making people feel at home here, we’re absolutely in love with this place and we’ve actually already booked to go back next year. Sauna and hot tub facilities absolutely gorgeous and again extremely clean. Amazing views from around the grounds, and from the spa windows too! A must visit for anybody visiting

Hard to know where to start with this review. We stayed for 8 nights in Voortekker's Quinni Geo apartment. Fabulous apartment. Tastefully decorated, very comfortable. Great quality furnishings, towels, linens and the bed is fantastic. The owners state all you need to bring is food and drink and this is really spot on. There's everything provided to produce good meals from a great selection of kitchenware, a slow cooker, down to herbs, spices and condiments.
Speaking of those owners, well, Niki and Piet - they are the most amazing hosts. Genuine, friendly, welcoming and very passionate about what
