Rorbu in Reine

Maybua stands on the water at Kirkeveien 38, in the middle of Reine and about 100 metres from the point this guide uses for the village. The listing describes it as a traditional waterfront house with timbered walls and some older fittings kept in place.

The cabin is 75 m² on one floor: two bedrooms, one with a double bed and one with a double and a bunk bed, a living room with sofas, a fireplace and a flat-screen TV, a full kitchen with dishwasher and oven, and a bathroom with a shower. Bed linen, towels and a washing machine and dryer are included, and the sea and mountains are in view from the rooms.

Booking.com publishes a maximum of five guests for the cabin; answering a question on the listing, the property said those two bedrooms sleep four between them and that further beds can be made up on an open loft off the hall, for a fee. A cot for a child under three is free on request, and pets may be accepted on request.
