Holiday home in Ballstad

Kræmmervika is the inlet on the south-west side of Ballstad, and this semi-detached unit sits at number 42, about 359 m from Kartverket's point for the village. Booking.com files it as a holiday home and gives it three tiles.

Thirty-five square metres is small for two bedrooms, and the listing is clear about how they are made up: a double bed in the first, two singles in the second. Three beds are credited and the published room occupancy allows four. One bathroom has a shower, a hairdryer and toilet paper.

What sets it apart from the other small units at Ballstad is what is around it. Booking.com lists a bar at the property, along with a balcony, a patio and a terrace with furniture and an outdoor dining area. The views take in the sea, a lake, the mountains and the inner courtyard. Inside there are a fireplace, a seating area, a sofa and a kitchenette with a fridge, a hob, a kettle, a coffee machine and kitchenware. An extra bed can be added at NOK 500 per person per night, and dogs are taken on request.

Why stay here

A compact cabin at Kræmmervika with a fireplace, a sea-facing terrace and a bar on the property — and Ballstad itself a kilometre away.

Who it’s for

  • Families

Two people, or four who do not mind small rooms. Dog owners are catered for on request, and a fifth can be added at a nightly charge. Families with a baby are not: there is no cot.

Things to consider

Thirty-five square metres split into two bedrooms leaves very little living space, and one bathroom serves everyone. The kitchen is a kitchenette — Booking.com lists a fridge, a hob, a kettle and a coffee machine, but no oven or dishwasher. There is no cot, and an extra bed costs NOK 500 per person per night, payable at the property rather than in the booking. Arrival is 17:00 to midnight with your time given beforehand, departure 00:00 to 11:00. Smoking is not allowed and hen or stag groups are refused. The 7.6 score comes from 12 reviews.
