Sea house with rorbuer in Svolvær

Why stay here

Each sea house sleeps eight across four bedrooms and two bathrooms, which suits families and groups who want one self-contained unit near Svolvær centre. The houses stand on the quay on Svinøya, and one ground-floor bedroom in each opens straight onto the deck on the sea side. Guests can use the quayside jacuzzi at no extra charge by arrangement, and boats can be hired on site.

Who it’s for

  • Couples
  • Families

The operator markets the sea houses to couples on a weekend away, families and groups of friends, and the eight-bed layout makes it a practical base for larger parties.
