Klokkergården - Stay in nostalgic surroundings on the island of Rødøy

At the foot of the majestic mountain called Rødøyløva, is the stately Klokkergården, a sexton’s residence that dates back to 1904. Here you can enjoy warm hospitality in surroundings that recall a bygone era. Accommodation Every guestroom at Klokkergården is unique and tells its own story. In the old sexton’s residence you can choose between five different rooms. Two of these have a private bathroom, while the other three share a bathroom in the hallway. If you stay in the building called Kårstua, you have the choice between the upstairs or downstairs apartment. Both offer two bedrooms and a total of five beds, a living room, kitchen and bathroom. Until 1968, Klokkergården served as Rødøy’s boarding school. Later it was even used as a barn, and fell into such disrepair that the reigning opinion was that the smartest thing would be to burn it to the ground. But its fate took an unexpected turn! Malin Arntsen and her family decided to save the once-stately building and restore it to its former glory. Today it stands as splendid testimony to their determination and a symbol of their belief that “nothing is impossible”. Read More

Dønnes Skolestua - Accommodation and RV parking

In 1922, the old schoolhouse was built to provide a safe and warm shelter for children who had a long way home. Now, a hundred years later, it welcomes those who wish to experience the tranquility and beautiful nature in the northern part of Dønna, right on the Helgeland coast. Once upon a time, this was one of the many small district schools in Helgeland, from an era before students had school bus transportation. Back then, they arrived on foot, by boat, and in winter, on skis. The journey to school could be long and perilous, especially in autumn and winter when the days were short and the weather unpredictable. In some places, like the Nord-Dønna school, students sometimes had to stay overnight until it was safe to head home again. Although the schoolhouse is no longer used as a school, it still carries the legacy of those days. You can see it in the former gymnasium, complete with showers and changing rooms, in the old teachers' lounge, and in the art and decorations made from old schoolbooks. The furnishings are simple, but today you are greeted with modern and comfortable standards. In this way, the school building provides you with a pleasant place to stay, whether you're seeking shelter from the weather or just need a break. The rooms at Skolestua Read More
