Tvistein Lighthouse

There are great fishing and diving opportunities around Tvistein. Tvistein Lighthouse is also a great destination for day visitors.

The room in the main house has 5 beds, and the room in "Fyrgården" has room for 2. The 5 rooms in the outhouse have 2-3 beds in each, distributed between double beds and bunk beds.

The bathroom is in the main house, while the shared kitchen is in the "Fyrgården", also called "Sjefsboden" (meaning the chief booth). There are several outdoor areas to use, but also a common living room in the Machine House, if you want to sit inside.

Overnight guests must bring their own bedding (duvets and pillows are provided), as well as their own food, drink and water. Water from the cisterns can be used for brushing teeth, washing hands and for cooking, but it is not drinking water. The kitchen is fully equipped, and there is a barbecue for free use.
