Rorbu in Ballstad

Cabin 25 stands on the Kræmmervika side of Ballstad, on the water — Booking.com marks it beachfront — with a terrace and patio looking out to sea and the mountains behind. Ninety square metres, a sauna and a bar on site put it somewhere between a self-catering cabin and a small lodge.

The sleeping plan is the unusual part. One bedroom holds six single beds and a large double, which is eight places in a single room; a second bedroom has a double. Booking.com counts eight beds and sets the maximum at ten guests. One bathroom has a bath or shower, with an additional toilet listed. The kitchen has a dishwasher, an oven, a hob, a fridge, a kettle and a coffee machine.

Arrival starts at 17:00, with no closing time stated but your time asked for in advance, and departure is by 11:00. Pets are allowed, charges possible. Quiet hours run from 23:00 to 07:00, and towels and sheets carry an extra fee.

Why stay here

A cabin on the water at Ballstad with a sauna to sit in after a day outside, a bar on site, and one room that can bed most of a team — useful for a fishing or climbing group travelling cheaply together.

Who it’s for

Groups rather than couples: six of the beds are singles lined up in one room. Anglers, climbers and ski-touring parties who want a sauna, a kitchen and somewhere to hang wet kit. Dogs are taken for a possible fee.

Things to consider

Towels and sheets are charged as an extra. Upper floors are reached by stairs only, arrival does not begin until 17:00, quiet hours run from 23:00 to 07:00, and no cot or extra bed can be added.
