Eliassen Rorbuer — Hotel in Moskenes

My favourite location in Lofoten!

Lofoten is the most beautiful place in my country. I live in the western part of Norway (Bergen) but have been visiting Lofoten several times during both summer, autumn, and winter. I think that winter is the most spectacular time to visit this archipelago. My favourite area is Reine/Hamnøy. Eliassen rorbuer is one of the very best places to stay if you want to explore this area.

The spectacular view from the waterfront’s cottages/rorbuer at Eliassen rorbuer takes your breath away (see my attached photos and you will understand).

This time I rent a “Waterfront Superior One Bedroom Cottage” (no. 53c) that has a spectacular sea view towards the famous Reinefjorden and the high mountains around. The cottage has a living room, dining area and a kitchenette with a fridge, electric kettle, coffee maker, microwave, kitchenware, dishwasher and cook top. In the bathroom there is a shower and underfloor heating which is very nice in the wintertime.

If you are hunting the northern light this is the perfect place to stay! You can just sit in the waterfronts cottages and watch for the aurora and just step right outside the cottage to shoot a stunning picture. That’s why many of the professional photographers stays at this place.

There is a free and fast WiFi access and free parking.

The only thing that I miss in my cottage was a small table beside the chairs where I could put my glass of wine when admire the spectacular view :-)

I highly recommend Eliassen rorbuer for your stay in Lofoten. This is the place I am going to stay on my next trip to Lofoten!

Stay 2017: The best location in Lofoten if you are hunting the Northern Lights!

I have been visiting beautiful Lofoten several times and found this location to be one of the best in Lofoten. Take a look at my attached photos and you will understand! This area (Hamnøy-Sakrisøy-Reine) is the best part of Lofoten - and Lofoten is the most beautiful part of my country!!

I stayed in cabin 4 “Willy-bua” cabin for three nights and I wish I could stay there for at least a week! I am a photographer and this part of Lofoten is so amazing that you have to stay in the best part of it!

If you are hunting the Norther Lights (Aurora) during the autumn/winter this is the perfect place to stay! You can just open the door and watch the Aurora if the conditions is good (clear skies an activity)! It´s very dark in the area so it´s perfect for photographing the Aurora.

This genuine old fishermen’s huts have been sympathetically extended and modernised without losing their essential character.

Do note that the cleaning fees are charged separately. I recommend that you just pay for the cleaning fees so you can relax during checkout.

I would definitely recommend this place for the peace and scenery!

I will be back again!

This review is for a Superior One-bedroom Cottage in this fairly dense Lofoten Rorbuer (it might have started as a traditional Rorbuer, but this is a fully modern property). My room was spacious and very clean, with a queen sized bed, multiple chairs and a table, as well as a kitchen area with a sink, microwave, cooktop, and dishwasher. There was plenty of light from the windows, and the were ample electrical outlets. The bathroom was spacious, and included a long-handled squeegee to direct the water from the curbless shower back into the drain after a shower. The bed was comfortable, but nothing special. The light blocking curtains worked well, but there were no sheers to ensure privacy when the curtains were opened (walking around the property, it was hard not to see into the other rooms when the curtains were open). I booked with breakfast, and it was surprisingly very basic. ||My biggest issue during my 3-night stay, is that while the rooms themselves are non-smoking, it’s ok for people to smoke outside their rooms — and when the rooms are adjoining as they are, and the windows are open for ventilation, the smoke permeates the neighboring rooms. There really should be a designated smoking area away from the rooms. I guess this shouldn’t surprise me here in Norway where so many people still smoke, however it’s long been proven that second-hand smoke is dangerous, and it's unfortunate that a property of this high caliber (and price) doesn’t fully support the health and comfort of...
