- An extraordinary experience!

NB: Owing to long working hours, you are requested to make enquiries by fax or phone during the summer as we often do not have the time to check our email.


 Like a string of beads, the ochre- coloured rorbu cabins stand side by side on poles, with the sea up to their "knees". The atmosphere is distinctive and pleasant.

... History is imprinted in the walls. Here, the fishermen baited their longlines, mended their nets, cooked their food, ate and slept. You may even use their old bunks beneath the ceiling if you wish.

 

Arnulf Hansen, Olaf Tønder and Ole Hatten are breathing down your neck, all of them fishing boat captains that have lent their names to their own rorbu cabins.

... distinctive rorbu cabins ...

The rorbu cabins have been painstakingly restored. As much as possible of the old atmosphere has been retained, while at the same time, taking into account modern demands on comfort. The cabins have from 1-3 separate bedrooms, with from 4-10 bunks. They are equipped with kitchenette and bathroom, freezer, coffee percolator, radio and TV. Rowing boats can be borrowed free of charge. Bicycles, washing machine and small outboard motors are available for hire. Larger motors and boats can be hired on demand. Fishing tackle on sale at reception.

Some arrive in a Morgan, some in a beetle ... all of them come to experience the natural surroundings, culture and humour of the Lofoten Islands.
