Rorbu i Lofoten
A four-bedroom rorbu of 65 m² at Offersøya on Vestvågøy, with four double bedrooms, beds for eight, one bathroom and a terrace over the sea. The beach is 200 metres away.
The fishermen's cabin sits at the head of Offersøyveien on the coast south of Leknes, and its layout is the point: four bedrooms, each holding a double, so four couples can share without anyone taking the sofa. A host answer confirms exactly that, and adds that one of the doubles is two single beds joined under a topper.
Sixty-five square metres leaves the rest compact. One bathroom serves all eight guests, and the kitchen, dining area and seating area share the living space, with a flat-screen TV and streaming.
Outside there is a balcony, a patio, a terrace looking out to sea, garden furniture and a picnic area. The listing names diving, fishing and hiking as local activities, and puts Offersøya Beach 200 metres away. Air conditioning, soundproofing and an allergy-free finish are recorded, along with a washing machine, a dishwasher and a high chair.
