Villas in Haukipudas

About Haukipudas
Haukipudas was a municipality of its own until it merged with the city of Oulu in 2013, and the old municipality was made up of 16 villages rather than one town. Its shore runs along the Gulf of Bothnia, and the district lies in the delta of the Kiiminkijoki river. Kiviniemi is a fishing village, Martinniemi has a sawmill, and dozens of small islands lie just off the coast. The homes are scattered around the area rather than in one village centre. Evenings are quiet: you heat the sauna, and for restaurants or a night out you head into Oulu. Haukipudas Church, built in 1762, is the main historic building. Most homes have one bedroom and a fireplace as well as a sauna.

Haukipudas villa holidays: questions answered
Is Haukipudas part of Oulu?
Since 1 January 2013, yes. The former municipality merged with Oulu, along with Kiiminki, Oulunsalo and Yli-Ii, and Haukipudas is now one of the city's districts, though its villages keep their own names.
How far is Haukipudas from Oulu city centre?
Around 20 minutes by car. Koiviston Auto's line 20 bus also runs from central Oulu every 30 minutes and takes about half an hour, handy for a day in town without driving.
Do the Haukipudas homes have a sauna?
Most do, and most also have a fireplace, so a sauna evening is part of the deal here. Check each listing for the sauna and for wifi, as amenities vary.
Haukipudas or Oulu for a summer stay?
Haukipudas for space and a sauna by the sea, Oulu for restaurants and the Nallikari beach on your doorstep. The two are close enough to combine on most days.
