Why stay here

A recently built house with a sauna, three twin bedrooms and a terrace over the water, with Offersøya Beach 200 metres off and Leknes close enough for shopping and the airport.

Who it’s for

Up to six people in twin rooms — three couples would have to rearrange beds — who want a sauna after a day outside and a beach within walking distance. There is no cot and no extra bed, so it is not set up for a baby.
