Sakrisøy Rorbuer
Ochre cabins, studios and small houses on the island of Sakrisøy, between Hamnøy and Reine on the E10. Nine grades are bookable, from a 20 m² studio to a 40 m² cabin for four, all with their own bathroom and a kitchenette.
Sakrisøy Rorbuer takes up most of a small island in the Reinefjord that the E10 crosses on its way from Hamnøy to Reine. The buildings are the family's own, and the business says the buildings date from the 18th century; its website describes five generations of the Gylseth family and guests taken since 1992. Booking.com rates it 9.4 from 1,294 reviews.
Nine grades are listed, from a 20 m² budget studio through studios with a partial or full sea view to one-bedroom houses and cabins of 40 m². Most take two people; the superior cabin with a sea view takes four. Each has a private bathroom, a kitchenette with a fridge, oven, stovetop, toaster, kettle and coffee machine, a seating area and a dining table, and the sea-view grades look over the Sakrisøy harbour. Some units have a fireplace, some a balcony, and a high chair can be had.
The island is a small settlement in itself: Underhuset, Anitas Seafood, an activity centre and an antique shop are neighbours, each with its own season. A few minutes on foot off the island brings you to the bus stop, which the business says its own reception looks onto.
Why stay here
A cabin of your own on an island the E10 runs through, with the Reinefjord on one side and the harbour on the other, and a kitchenette that means you are not dependent on restaurant hours in a village where they are seasonal.
Who it’s for
- Families
Couples and pairs, since seven of the nine grades take two. Four people can be housed in the superior sea-view cabin. Family rooms and a high chair are listed, so young children fit, but there are no cots and no extra beds, and the price of a third body cannot be worked around.

- Private bathroom and kitchenette in every unit
- Sea-view grades looking over the Sakrisøy harbour
- Free parking on the island and free WiFi
- Restaurants, a seafood shop and an antique store as neighbours
- Bus stop a few minutes on foot away
Things to consider
Cash is not taken — cards only. Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:00 but the business says its hours shift with the season, so tell it when you will arrive. Quiet hours run from 23:00 until 08:00, check-in is limited to guests of 18 or over, and booking more than two rooms brings different terms and extra charges. There are no cots and no extra beds, pets are not accepted, and upper floors in some units are reached by stairs only. Breakfast is not served; the business points guests to the kitchens in the cabins.

A budget studio of 20 m² and a standard studio of 20 m² with a partial sea view, both for two; a superior studio of 25 m² with a sea view and a one-bedroom cabin of 30 m² without one, for two; a deluxe studio of 40 m² with a sea view, a one-bedroom house of 40 m² without one, and traditional cabins of 40 m² with a sea view and balcony, all for two; and a superior cabin with a sea view of 40 m² for four, which takes up to three children.
