Skjæret rorbu

Arrive by ship. The Hurtigruten quay is roughly 400 metres away by the property's own account, with help for the bags, and once you are there bicycles can be hired on site and groceries delivered. Add a car charger, ski storage and an outdoor fire, and this is the most car-free week available among the self-catering places here.

Families — a free cot for a child under two, a high chair, and five beds across three rooms. Cyclists and skiers, given the hire and the storage. Dog owners, on request. Anyone arriving on the coastal steamer rather than by hire car. Check-in opens at 14:00, which matters if the ship docks in the afternoon.

The airport shuttle is charged, not free. Pets are accepted only on request. From the age of 11 a child is charged at the adult rate, and while a cot is free for a child under two, no extra bed can be added. Upper floors are reached by stairs only. The property wants your arrival time in advance; check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:00 and departure from 08:00 to 12:00. The building is semi-detached rather than standing alone.
