A family of five or two couples who want separate bedrooms, a kitchen and a short walk into Svolvær. A high chair is provided, though no cot is available, and the person booking must be at least 25.

Nobody under 25 may check in, which rules out younger groups. No cot or extra bed can be added, although a high chair is provided. Pets are refused, smoking is not allowed and hen or stag groups are not taken. Arrivals run from 15:00 to 22:00 and the property asks for your time in advance; check-out is between 06:00 and 12:00.
