Apartment in Henningsvær

This is the second of two apartments let in the same building on Banhammaren, inside Henningsvær itself. At 31 m² it is the smaller of the pair, and it has the washing machine the other lacks.

One bedroom holds a double bed and the living room a sofa bed, so four people can be booked in across two beds. A single bathroom with a shower serves them. The kitchen carries an oven, a hob, a dishwasher, a fridge, a kettle and kitchenware, with a dining table and a flat-screen TV in the living end.

The balcony's listed outlook is the inner courtyard rather than the water, despite the name. Internet is the strong point: the property has told a guest the apartment has a high-speed connection, which it recommends for video calls. Arrival is between 16:00 and 21:00 with your time given in advance, departure by 11:00, and a refundable NOK 3,000 deposit is taken on arrival.

Why stay here

A small apartment in the middle of Henningsvær with a parking space of its own, a washing machine for a long trip and an internet connection the property is willing to vouch for.

Who it’s for

A couple, or a family of four prepared to use the sofa bed, who want to be in the village rather than driving into it. Pets are accepted on request. Anyone who needs to work for a day will find a connection and a balcony; anyone after a sea view should read the outlook first.

Things to consider

The name says by the sea, but the only outlook the listing records is the inner courtyard — treat the sea as somewhere nearby rather than out of the window.

Check-in closes at 21:00 and check-out is 11:00.
