Rorbu in Eggum, near Leknes

The cabin stands 100 metres behind Eggumsveien 833, at Eggum on the north side of Vestvågøy; Booking.com files the address under the 8360 Bøstad postcode. Kartverket's registered point for Eggum is barely 100 m away, so the cabin is in the settlement, while Leknes — the nearest place this guide covers — is 18.2 km off in a straight line.

The cabin is small and plain: 30 m² with a single bedroom holding two bunk beds, an ensuite shower room with free toiletries, and a living room. Booking.com credits the unit with two beds and publishes a maximum of four guests, which is what two bunk beds hold.

Cooking is done in a kitchenette with a fridge, a hob and kitchenware; there is no oven, dishwasher or washing machine on the facility list. A terrace and patio look out to sea and towards the mountains, and the listing names fishing and hiking as what there is to do nearby. WiFi and private parking are free.

Why stay here

A cheap, simple base inside the settlement of Eggum, with the sea in view from the terrace and fishing and hiking named among the things to do nearby.

Who it’s for

  • Families
  • Northern lights
  • Midnight sun

Up to four, on the two bunk beds, who want somewhere plain and coastal rather than comfortable. Anyone who needs an oven, a dishwasher or a washing machine should look elsewhere, and Leknes is 18 km away, so a car is needed.
