About the Kayak centre
Havnomadens Kayak Centre is an old wooden building renovated on the foundations of an old wharf and converted into a bunkhouse for kayakers. Decorating the place, artistic details and genuine atmosphere creates a unique vibe in the centre. The place is practically organised for kayakers and contains seven comfortable rooms and a well equipped joint kitchen area. There is a shop with kayaks for rent, equipment and dry tidy facility. The pub is a popular meeting place for kayakers and the locals.
