The Famous Yellow House, Sakrisøy
A 45 m² two-bedroom apartment in the yellow house on Sakrisøy, let by the Anitas Sjømat family business as the Olstind cabin. It sleeps four and looks across the Reinefjord.
Booking.com now lists this unit as The Famous Yellow House; the family firm behind it, Anitas Sjømat, calls it the Olstind cabin on its own site and lets it as one of its rorbu cabins on Sakrisøy. The building holds two separate units, and the listing warns that you should read the facilities of the one you are about to book so that you get the right half.
The bookable unit is a 45 m² two-bedroom apartment for four, with a double bed in one room and a super-king double in the other. The bathroom is the unit's own, with a shower and a hairdryer, and the kitchen holds a dishwasher, oven, stovetop, kettle and coffee machine, a washing machine and a tumble dryer, a cable TV, a sofa and a dining table, and a terrace or patio facing the sea. Interconnecting rooms are noted, which fits a house split in two.
The address is Moskenesveien 193A, on Sakrisøy, the small island the E10 crosses between Hamnøy and Reine. Anitas Sjømat's shop and the antique store are neighbours; Kartverket's nearest registered settlement is Reine, about 1.4 km off.
Why stay here
Two bedrooms and a sea-facing terrace on Sakrisøy itself, in a house that belongs to the family who have worked the island for generations, with Olstind across the water and Reine a few minutes up the E10.

- Couples
