I had the absolute pleasure of staying here in November. A fresh snowfall accentuated the beauty of this fishing village/turned resort. The staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly. I was traveling with friends so we shared a two bedroom rorbu. It was perfect. The beds were extremely comfortable and cozy. It was impeccably clean, and the bathrooms were modern with heated floors. We felt entirely spoiled. The resort was decorated for Christmas and I could see a glowing Christmas tree outside my window with the Northern Lights dancing above. The restaurants are delicious. There are a few different options all offering diverse menus. High winds cancelled our fishing trip one day, but the resort stayed in communication with us as the weather shifted, and rebooked us for a RIB boat excursion that blasted us through fjords and past salmon farms. It was incredibly exhilarating. We also did a Northern Lights tour with the resort that took us to a beach with mountains rising behind and to the west of us. I now have a photo of a lifetime of me looking out over the beach with mountains, ocean, stars and those magical auroras. But I must give a huge thanks to Renate for her historical tour of the property. I saw it on our agenda and didn’t expect much. It was fascinating. She was born right there and is incredibly versed on the history of the incredible property, the Lofoten Islands, and the fishing industry in that part of the world. Many brave souls attempted to carve out a living in the waters outside of Nusfjord, and Renate’s respectful tour shared their stories of struggle, success and misfortune. Wrap your tour with a decadent hot coco with Renate for even more Lofoten tidbits. Enjoy your magical stay!

I travelled from Slolvaer to Nusford during a very cold winter day in March. The landscape was simply mesemerizing. The entire drive had snow capped mountains being reflected in crystal clear waters. It was so intriguing - we had beaches on the way and then there were compeltely frozen fjords within a few kilometres. It was a very serene experience being immersed in the wonders of the untouched nature. After the beautiful journey I reached Nusford. The quaint little village of Nusford seemed straight out of story books. It had small colourful houses with marcellous view of the ocean. We visited the fish oil factory and then just enjoyed the nature at its best (even in the biting cold with -7 degree temperature) One thing to note is that restaurant in winters opened at 3 pm. There was a small cafe where we ate. If you are a vegetarian, i will recommend that you carry some food with you. On the way back, got to see the majestic Arctic Horses. A truly magical day. A must visit for anyone travelling to Norway in winters. Nusford trip made me realize that Norway is so much more than Northern Lights.

On our first attempt to visit the Nusfjord we could't park anywhere (very small parkings) so we gave up and decided to come back later. To be honest we were quite disappointed with the village. You have to pay to enter it (we were later during the day so we didn't have to) and most of it is now a hotel, so in general you are paying to enter the hotel which seems a bit odd. In general, the village is still beautiful but there are also other towns/villages in Lofoten situated nicely and you don't have to pay to enter.
