Accommodation is in the old 'rorbu' fisherman's cabin and storehouse. The rorbu had also been used as a bait shed and storeroom. When Eva decided to restore the property, she made a few brave choices. Instead of going for the rough, rustic style, she chose to decorate it in the style that had been modern during the trading store's golden age of the 1800s: Empire, Biedermeier and historicism. French commodes, headboards with classic, Italian columns, curved Biedermeier sofas, pendulum clocks and chandeliers were tracked down in auctions and antique shops. The bright, bone-white and linden green wall colours were discovered under thick layers of paint, and form a neutral background that shows off the furniture to its best advantage. The toilets are elegant and modern, and the beds are snug with wonderful down duvets.
