Haukland Panorama Lofoten

Beachfront ground within a few minutes of Haukland, a fire to sit round indoors and another outside, and internet fast enough to work on — 153 Mbps is a measured figure on the listing, not a claim. Leknes is 5.1 km off in a straight line, the airport 11 km by road.

A family: three bedrooms in 65 m², a bunk room for children, a cot available for a baby and a washing machine for the aftermath. Anyone working part of the week, given the desk and the measured connection. Less suited to a group of adults, since one of the three rooms is a bunk room.

Departure is a one-hour window, 09:00 to 10:00 — set an alarm. Arrival runs from 16:00 to 23:30 with your time wanted in advance. A cot is NOK 150 per child per night and is not included in the price; no extra bed can be added, and from the age of three a child is charged at the adult rate. Pets are refused and the house is non-smoking. Upper floors are reached by stairs only, and hen and stag groups are turned away.

One detached house of 65 m², let whole. Three bedrooms: a bunk bed in the first, two single beds in the second and a large double in the third — four beds, and a published maximum of four guests. One bathroom with a shower, a private toilet, a hairdryer, towels and toilet paper. A living room with a fireplace, a sofa, a seating area, a desk, a wardrobe, a dining area and a dining table. Bed linen is supplied and floors are hardwood or parquet.

Upper floors are reached by stairs only.
