Lofoten Waterfront Luxury Lodge

A sauna at no extra cost, in use through the winter, in a house sleeping eight a short way above Ballstad harbour — with the bus from Leknes airport named by the property itself.

A group of up to eight, or two families: the first bedroom takes four with its bunk and double, and the other two are doubles. Two bathrooms make that workable. Children of any age can stay, though those of 18 and over pay adult rates, and no cots or extra beds are available.

NOK 4,000 goes on a credit card at arrival as a refundable damage deposit, handed back within seven days of departure once the house has been looked over. Quiet hours run from 23:00 to 07:00 and hen or stag groups are refused. Cots and extra beds are not available, and children of 18 and above are charged at adult rates. Pets and smoking are not allowed. Toiletries and laundry detergent are supplied but coffee is not, and the machine is a filter one, so bring ground coffee. Check-in closes at 21:00.

One detached house of 100 m² with four beds in three bedrooms: a bunk bed and a large double in the first, taking four guests; a large double in the second and another in the third, two guests each — eight in all. Two bathrooms with a bath or shower, a hairdryer, towels and toilet paper, and the property has confirmed two toilets in the house. Linen is provided.

A sauna, which the property says is free and runs all year. Free WiFi and free parking. Inside: heating, a private entrance, a fireplace, a sofa, a seating area, a dining area and table, and linen. The kitchen holds an oven, a hob, a dishwasher, a fridge, an electric kettle, a filter coffee machine, a tea and coffee maker and kitchenware, with a washing machine. A balcony faces the sea and the mountains. The property provides soap, shampoo, conditioner and laundry detergent, but not coffee.

Self-catering, with no meals served on site. The kitchen covers cooking and there is a dining area indoors; the coffee machine takes filter coffee, which guests bring themselves.

Kræmmarvika 71 sits under the 8373 Ballstad postcode in Vestvågøy, on the bay side of the village. Kartverket registers the Ballstad name about 620 m from the map pin, and Ballstad itself is 1.2 km away in a straight line. The listing records views of the sea and the mountains, and hiking in the surroundings.

Booking.com gives Lofotenmat Sa as 10 km from the house, Leknes Airport as 12 km, Vestvågøy Rådhus as 12 km and Nusfjord as 34 km. Asked how to reach the house from the airport, the property named the 766 bus from Leknes to Ballstad; check current timetables with the operator. Parking at the house is free.
