Last verified 16 September 2026

Rorbu in Stamsund, near Leknes

This is a fisherman's cabin at Stamsund, on the south coast of Vestvågøy, let as a single unit of 39.95 m². Two bedrooms hold a large double bed and a bunk bed; there is one bathroom with a shower, a living area with a sofa and a kitchen the listing calls fully equipped and a flat-screen TV carrying streaming services.

Everything is on the ground floor behind a private entrance, and the outdoor space is generous for the size: a sea-facing terrace, a balcony and a patio, with outdoor furniture. Slippers, bed linen and towels are provided, and there is a tumble dryer and a drying rack, though no washing machine appears on the list.

The property keeps its listing up to date. Asked about a review saying the windows were hard to open, it replied that they have since been replaced and now open easily — the sort of answer worth reading before you judge an older review.

Why stay here

Who it’s for
