Apartment in Henningsvær

Banhammaren 1K sits at the edge of Henningsvær, and the apartment's balcony faces the water. It runs to 65 m² across two bedrooms and two bathrooms, which is a generous ratio for a letting of this size, and carries three stars on Booking.com.

Sleeping is arranged in three places: one bedroom with two single beds, one with a double, and two sofa beds in the living room, taking six between them. The kitchen has an oven, a hob, a dishwasher, a coffee machine and a kettle; a washing machine, a flat-screen TV, linen and towels come with it, and the apartment has its own entrance.

The terms are firmer than the layout. Check-in is between 16:00 and 21:00 with notice, departure by 11:00, and a NOK 3,000 deposit is taken by card on arrival and released within a week of check-out once the place has been inspected. Quiet hours run from 23:00 to 07:00, parties are refused and pets are not accepted.

Why stay here

Six beds, two bathrooms and a sea-facing balcony inside Henningsvær, with parking thrown in — a combination that is hard to find in a village where most lettings are small and parking is tight.

Who it’s for

A family or a group of up to six who want to walk to the harbour, the galleries and the football pitch rather than drive. Two bathrooms make it easier for two couples sharing. Anyone travelling with a baby should look elsewhere: no cot and no extra bed can be provided.

Highlights

  • 65 m², two bedrooms and two bathrooms
  • Takes six: two singles, a double and two sofa beds
  • Balcony with a sea view and a private entrance
  • Kitchen with oven, hob, dishwasher and coffee machine
  • Washing machine in the apartment
  • Free parking and free WiFi in Henningsvær

Things to consider

A refundable NOK 3,000 deposit is taken by credit card when you arrive and returned within seven days of departure after the apartment is checked. The check-in window is 16:00 to 21:00 and the property wants your arrival time beforehand. Quiet hours run from 23:00 to 07:00. Cots and extra beds are not available, so six is the ceiling and a baby cannot be accommodated. Children of 18 and over are charged as adults, and pets are refused.

The accommodation

One unit of 65 m², listed as a Two-Bedroom Apartment. One bedroom has two single beds and the other a double, with two sofa beds in the living room; each of the three spaces takes two, giving six in total across five beds. Two bathrooms are described, one with a shower, and linen and towels come with the apartment. Entry is by its own door and the building is semi-detached.
