Monthly Rentals in Gjermesøya

We had a lovely time at Roger’s place, which was equipped with everything we needed for a 4 night stay. Roger was very communicative, and provided thorough check-in instructions. The rorbuer is cozy and comfortable and well furnished, right on the harbour at Ballstad with a beautiful view out the front windows. I would recommend it to visitors desiring the “traditional” Lofoten experience without the huge price tag! Ballstad is a small village about 15 minutes drive from Leknes, where you can do your shopping. There is a convenience store a few minutes drive from the cabin, and a few restaurants around. I will note that the cabin is quite small, and there is no room to store suitcases in the bedroom - we kept ours in the living area, which was not a problem for us. There is also an upstairs residence and you can hear the occupants moving around - again, not an issue for us, but might be for others. Thanks for having us, Roger - we didn’t want to leave!

We had a great time at this spacious house with a spectacular view. The house offered everything we needed. We also saw the northern lights and were able to take great pictures.

Third time at Fredrik and Caroline’s Rorbu. Every visit is as wonderful as the first. The location is incredible and the floor to ceiling windows look out over the southeastern cliffs of the islands. We spent so much time just watching the water and light and colours change during the days from the very comfy armchairs. The Rorbu has been wonderfully designed and stylishly fitted out. It is warm, cosy with the light wood interiors and wood burner for the chillier nights. The kitchen is well-equipped making it easy to cook if you don’t fancy going out and it too has a stunning view and lovely balcony over the water. There’s a huge TV and streaming if you want to watch something. The beds are very comfy and it’s quiet at night - we always sleep really well. Easy parking next to the Rorbu and Ballstad harbour is a lovely walk to see the boats at work. Location is perfect - about equidistant between Reine and Henningsvaer to max exploring Lofoten. Always immaculately clean! 100% recommend!

We were so happy with our stay. We went to Norway specifically for the views and Northern lights and the views were beautiful right at the house. We saw the lights from the hot tub outside. I would absolutely stay here again if your trip is traveling around the islands. They also had an electric charging station!
