Find and book a rorbu or sea house in Helgeland, staying right by the water’s edge. Enjoy a coastal stay with the sea just outside your door – often with access to a private dock, boats or kayaks, and in some places even a hot tub. Ideal for a peaceful and authentic seaside holiday.

One of the best things about having a rorbu cabin for your holiday base is that you live comfortably, but feel in contact with the scenery that’s right outside your door, while you are also surrounded by Helgeland’s proud, thriving coastal culture. The traditional fishermen’s cabins (rorbu) and the wharfside buildings come in many forms and sizes. Some are old and carefully refurbished to maintain their authentic feel, while others are newly built. You can find intimate, charming rorbu that are just right for you and your partner, and larger living quarters that will accommodate your family or quite a few friends.
