August is a great month for a relaxed holiday in Risør. The summer rush has calmed down a bit but there is still some life in the town, and still nice temperature in the air and in the sea.
With us you live in comfort and style in your own historic maritime suite. Our suites have different themes that tell about Risør's rich maritime history, and all have a living room, kitchen, patio and good beds.
We serve a delicious breakfast every day, which can also be delivered to the suite.
You choose everything you want from the menu the night before and we arrive at the door at the agreed time.
Join an archipelago cruise aboard a unique wooden motorboat built by local boatbuilder Leif Nilsen.
With this beautiful motorboat we can accommodate from two to eight passengers on everything from an hour's cruise in the archipelago or fjords, to a day trip to the islands of Lyngør and Sandøya.
Food and drink are included, plus an experienced skipper!
A few steps away from our suites in Kragsgate there is "Sigurdsen's house", a historic house with an exciting history.
Here you will be welcomed by the hospitable and knowledgeable homeowner Ragnhild Sigurdsen. She serves a delicious Afternoon Tea in the house's elegant living rooms, and tells of the fascinating history of the house and the town.
Risør is known for the quality of its seafood, and one of our most popular offerings is to be served a delicious shellfish platter in the suite.
We set the table in your suite and serve dinner at the agreed time.
Dinner consists of locally caught shrimp, lobster or crayfish, crab, steamed mussels, bread and accessories plus a delicious dessert.
The shellfish platter can be ordered online when you book accommodation.
We recommend all guests to take the short walk up to white painted cliff called "Risørflekken". It is one of Southern Norway's oldest sailing navigation marks, with great views of Risør town, the harbour, Stangholmen lighthouse and the archipelago.
Take the trail further into Urheia, a beautiful nature area hiking trails, view points and two lakes with bathing areas.
Yes, there are shopping opportunities all over the world, but in Risør town centre there is hardly a single chain store, just small niche shops.
From handicrafts to clothing, jewellery to fishing rods, many people manage to spend hours just looking in the shops.
If you travel with a group of friends, it is possible to arrange a "private shopping" experience at some of the shops.
And not least, there are lots of good offers in late summer!
Sørlandet's only saltwater aquarium is located in the centre of Risør. Here you can experience 500 fish and marine animals, mainly from Norwegian waters, but also exotic features such as clownfish and piranhas.
