Cabin with rorbuer in Ballstad

Kræmmervika Havn lets rorbuer, the traditional fishermen's cabins, on Kræmmervikveien in Ballstad. Booking.com showed eight of them, numbered between 1 and 12, from a 16 m² unit with a bed and a futon to Rorbu 9 at 60 m². The host also mentions a suite with a bedroom, living room, kitchen and bathroom.

Each unit has its own bathroom. The facility list includes kitchens or kitchenettes with dishwashers and ovens, and balconies, terraces and sea views, though some units will lack some of these. Some cabins have upper floors reached only by stairs.
