Apartment in Henningsvær

Two bathrooms in 45 m² is the unusual part of this flat, and it is the reason a party of six can share it without queueing. It is on Banhammaren in Henningsvær, about 450 m from Kartverket's registered point for the village, so the harbour, the galleries and the cafés are a walk away rather than a drive.

The layout is a bedroom with a bunk bed, a bedroom with a large double, and a sofa bed in the living room, three beds with a limit of two guests in each space. Each of the two bathrooms has a shower. The apartment is semi-detached with its own entrance, and its balcony looks onto an inner courtyard rather than the water.

The kitchen is fitted with an oven, a hob, a dishwasher, a fridge, a kettle, a coffee machine, a tea and coffee maker and kitchenware, with a dining table and a dining area; no washing machine is listed. WiFi and private parking are free — worth having in a village where parking is tight. The guest score is 8.2 from 28 reviews.

Why stay here

A flat inside Henningsvær itself, with free parking, two bathrooms for six people and a kitchen good enough to cook in — the village is small enough that where you sleep decides whether you drive or walk to dinner.

Who it’s for

Two couples, or a family of up to six who can use a bunk room and a sofa bed and want a second bathroom. Photographers and walkers using Henningsvær as a base gain more from the position than from the view, which is over an inner courtyard.
