I want to go back!!

This place was so fun!! We only stayed one night and I’m sad we didn’t have more time. They were very accommodating when our group added one person to it. It was a beautiful view and everything was clean.

Aucune vue mer en RDC mais vue lave linge

Le cadre extérieur est typique avec des maisons de pêcheurs. L'accueil est impersonnel mais toute demande est satisfaite. Le robur 4 et le 3 sont au RDC. Le robur 4 ne dispose d'aucune vue mer et les fenêtres sont floutées car elles donnent directement sur le parking autos. Deux canapés. Couchages individuels trop étroits en 85 cm Un gros soucis : une machine collective a laver le linge et un sèche linge sont sur le palier devant la porte d'entrée. Résultats : nombreux vas et viens devant la porte et le bruit des machines a 2 mètres jusqu'à 23 heures. Au final, assez déçu pour le prix

Opplevelse!

Veldig bra! Utrolig god service. Rorbu med 6 sengeplasser, wifi, ett og et halvt bad. Dør rett ut til terrasse rett i sjøen. Slipp til båt hvis du har med selv. Stupebrett og stige. Tilgang til Badstu med havutsikt. Turområde. Glesvær kafé med nydelig mat rett ved siden av. Utleie av SUP board. Plen til ballspill. Storkoste oss!

Rolig plass

Rolig og fin plass. Bra og lett kommunikasjon med de som driver stedet. Leide båt, prøvde å fiske og kjørte litt rundt med båten.

Fin opphold :)

Rorbu ligger idyllisk til og var veldig tilfredstillende med veldig grei pris. Kommunikasjonen var veldig bra mellom utleiger og oss. Visst eg skal terpa på noko må da vere komfort på madrassane, men derimot har eg ein veldig kranglete rygg. Alt i alt ein veldig fin opphold og gjer da gjerne igjen 😊👌

Veldig bra opphold. Grei rorbu med det vi hadde bruk for. Restaurant 100 meter fra rorbua og der kunne man også få kjøpt litt småting.

Kjempefint opphold og meget rent og utrolig godt utstyrt kjøkken som virket helt nytt, var i alle fall klinisk rent!! Kun et minus, en ostehøvel som var helt ubrukelig😊
