Laukvik Suites

Two roomy apartments on a quiet stretch of north coast, with sea-view balconies and full kitchens, an hour's drive short of nothing and 18 km from Svolvær.

A family or four friends in the two-bedroom, a couple in the one-bedroom. A car is needed. Cots can be requested; no extra beds are kept, and no pets.

Nobody under 18 can check in. Arrivals run from 15:00 to 22:00 with your time given in advance, though the owners say a late arrival can be arranged; checkout is from 07:00 to 12:00 and an early departure is fine by them. A cot can be requested free for a child under two, but no extra beds are kept and pets are not taken. Hen and stag groups are refused. Laukvika is 18 km from Svolvær in a straight line on a road that ends at the coast, so plan shopping around it.

Two units, both 68 m². The Two-Bedroom Apartment has four beds and the One-Bedroom Apartment two. Bedrooms across the property hold two single beds (one of them en suite), a single and a double, and two single beds. Private bathrooms with a walk-in shower, towels and toilet paper. Booking.com gives the property three stars.

Free private parking and free WiFi, measured for the listing at 47 Mbps. Kitchen with a dishwasher, oven, stovetop, microwave, kettle, fridge, kitchenette and kitchenware, and a dining table; the owners add that there is a freezer in the apartment and a larger one in the store room. Washing machine, tumble dryer, drying rack and clothes rack. Flat-screen TV with cable channels, desk, sofa, seating area. Balcony, patio, terrace, outdoor furniture and an outdoor dining area with sea and mountain views. Soundproofing, hardwood floors, private entrance, non-smoking.

Self-catering, with a full kitchen in each apartment. Booking.com notes dining options close to the property, but none is on site.

Laukvikveien at Laukvika, a built-up area on the north coast of Austvågøy in Vågan, as Kartverket records it. The apartments look north over the sea; Svolvær, the nearest destination this guide covers, is about 18 km away in a straight line.

Booking.com gives Svolvaer Airport as 30 km, Svolværgeita as 34 km, and both the Lofoten attraction and Svolvær Torg as 35 km. Parking is free on site, and the owners confirm it costs nothing. The road to Laukvika leaves the main Lofoten highway near Vestpollen.
