The Oil Tank

What was once an oil tank has been transformed into a modern three-storey home.The oil tank is located on Skrova, an island outside Svolvær.

Like a lighthouse, the tank towers in surroundings that invite both inspiration and creativity, as well as silence and reflection. A fantastic view surrounds you on all sides. If you’re a visual artist, writer, musician or someone who just needs a quiet place to work or vacation for a while, the tank is perfect.

Interior and facilities

Oljetanken is furnished with a modern interior and contains all amenities, including wireless internet. There are two separate bedrooms in the oil tank and one bedroom in the antechamber. All beds have good down duvets. Maximum occupancy is 6 people in total. This does not have to do with bed capacity, but with space around the kitchen table. Additional accommodation for larger groups can also be organized with our partners on the island.
