Lofoten Havfiske
A sea-fishing camp on the Nappstraumen side of Vestvågøy, west of Leknes. Five grades of self-catering unit appear on Booking.com, from 45 m² two-bedroom cottages sleeping four to a 75 m² holiday home for seven.
Lofoten Havfiske stands at Offersøyveien 1, where Vestvågøy narrows towards the Nappstraumen strait, roughly 4 km west of Leknes in a straight line. Booking.com marks it with four tiles and scores it 9.2 from 34 reviews. The camp's own site counts eight cabins, at Skreda, on Nappstraumen and across the water on Lilleide, sleeping between four and nine; five of them are on the booking page.
These are whole units rather than hotel rooms. Four are 45 m² with two bedrooms and four beds — a cottage, a cottage superior, a townhouse and a holiday home — and the fifth is a 75 m² holiday home with six beds for up to seven guests. Bedrooms hold pairs of 90 cm singles, and the camp has said its two-bedroom townhouse has no double bed, though the two can be pushed together. Each unit comes with its own shower room, a kitchen fitted out for cooking a catch, a washing machine, a dining table and a terrace looking over the water.
Nobody staffs a desk here. You go to the address on your confirmation, and the camp asks to know roughly when you will arrive; it has told guests that it either meets them at the cabin or leaves the door open, which covers a late ferry or a 22:30 landing at Leknes.
Why stay here
Self-catering above the dock where the camp's boats lie, with Nappstraumen in front, Offersøya Beach 300 metres off and a kitchen big enough to deal with a day's fish. Bikes can be hired on site and parking costs nothing.
Who it’s for
- Families
Angling parties and groups of four, who take a whole two-bedroom unit with a kitchen and a washing machine; the 75 m² holiday home carries that up to seven. Less suitable for a family with a baby, since no cot or extra bed is offered, and pets cannot come.
Highlights
- Five self-catering units on Booking.com, 45 m² and 75 m²
- Terraces looking over the Nappstraumen strait
- Kitchen, dishwasher and washing machine in each unit
- Free parking and WiFi measured at 46 Mbps
- Bike hire on site
- Offersøya Beach 300 metres away
Things to consider
Arrival is narrow on paper — 16:00 to 18:00 — and there is no desk to arrive at, so tell the camp your time and settle how you get in; it has handled far later arrivals by leaving the cabin open. Bedrooms are fitted with 90 cm singles rather than double beds. No cot or extra bed is offered, pets are not accepted and smoking is not allowed. Booking.com collects payment for the stay, so carry cash for anything bought on site.
The accommodation
Five units are listed. Four measure 45 m² with two bedrooms and four beds: Two-Bedroom Cottage, Two-Bedroom Cottage Superior, Two-Bedroom Townhouse and a Holiday Home. The fifth is a 75 m² Holiday Home with six beds, taking up to seven. Every bedroom on the listing holds two single beds, which the camp gives as 90 cm wide. Units have a shower room of their own with a hairdryer, a kitchen with dishwasher, oven, microwave, stovetop, toaster, kettle and coffee machine, a dining table, a sofa, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, linen, towels and a balcony or terrace. The camp's own site counts eight cabins in total, the largest of them sleeping nine.
