Rorbu in Ballstad

Naustplassen sits at Ballstadlandet 190, on the seaward arm of the Ballstad fishing village in Vestvågøy, about 600 metres from the point this guide uses for Ballstad.

Two units are let. The larger, listed as a Three-Bedroom Apartment, is 60 m² with four beds; the other, a Two-Bedroom House, is 50 m² with five. Between them the bedrooms hold bunk beds, single beds and one double, and one living room has two sofa beds. Each unit has a full kitchen with dishwasher, oven, microwave and toaster, its own bathroom with a walk-in shower, a flat-screen TV and a patio with outdoor furniture.

The listing records an outdoor fireplace to warm up at after skiing, a washing machine, a high chair, baby safety gates and children's books and DVDs. Asked about beds, the property said its rorbu holds three bunks and three singles, with no double, so bed layouts differ between the units and are worth checking. The minimum age for anyone checking in is 20.
