A house shaped slowly by weather, sea and generations.
Built at the edge of the harbour
Havstua stands on an old wooden dock in the fishing village of Kamøyvær, near the North Cape in Arctic Norway.
Originally rebuilt after the Second World War during the reconstruction of Finnmark, the house has served as a trading post, gathering place, restaurant and guesthouse for generations.
Today, much of the original atmosphere remains — driftwood details, old photographs, handmade interiors and the feeling of a place closely connected to the rhythm of the sea outside its windows.
Slow days by the sea
Guests come to Havstua for quiet stays, sea air, long meals, mountain walks and slower mornings by the harbour.
The house offers simple guest rooms, shared living spaces and a wood-fired sauna by the sea, open to both overnight guests and visitors. Whether staying for a few days or stopping by for an evening sauna session, life here moves at a gentler pace shaped by weather, light and village life.
