Nusfjord has a unique selection of first-class rorbu cabins available for accommodation in Lofoten, which were originally a traditional fisherman rorbu.
The rorbu cabins are tailored to give you the best possible experience in Lofoten Island. Enjoy the days in the north with breakfast included.
The rorbu cabins are located in the village and around the peaceful harbour, surrounded by beautiful nature and the wild sea, making it a perfect place to stay in Lofoten. The size of the rooms reflects the fishermen’s need for an intimate and compact residence in the weather-beaten arctic environment, but they are carefully furnished to be comfortable and meet the needs of a modern lifestyle.
The cabins were originally divided into two parts, where up to twelve fishermen slept side by side. Their fishing gear, net and hooks were stored on the other side. Here the fishermen also prepared their nets with bait, which explains the holes in the timber walls, which are still visible today.
The rorbu cabins of Nusfjord are open all year round and invite you to experience the glowing midnight sun in summer and the spectacular northern lights in winter. All the cabins are located within a short walking distance of the village center and the eateries Restaurant Karoline, Loftet Lounge, Oriana Tavern, Aurora Foodbar and Landhandleriet Café.
Within the intimate, wooden walls of Restaurant Karoline, alongside the exquisite buffet breakfast the resort offers a refined evening experience with a weathered ocean view. The menu reflects the rich traditions of nordic cooking and the bountiful harvests of our saltwater realms.The historic whisky cellar in Nusfjord has been transformed into Oriana Kro, a cozy Italian pizza and wine bar.
In the old general store you will find the peaceful and quiet gem Landhandleriet Café. Located just above the waterfront, the café offers stunning views to the mountains and the harbour, and is a perfect place to enjoy a light meal or snack. Landhandleriet is known for its lovely traditional fish soup. But if you’re more tempted by a waffle, a cinnamon roll, a delicious spread or a coffee, you can also buy that here.
The outdoor wellness area is literally a work of art. It is designed by students from the Oslo School of Architecture and Design, and the elegant installation features a traditional wood-fired hot tub, sauna, and outdoor shower.
