East to navigate in, fully open.
Good place to shelter from easterly winds and swells.
Good sand in spots, high amount of patchy sea grass, be careful where to drop anchor to not destroy them.

Very nice guest Harbour. Price is reasonable.
I arrived in Saturday and sadly the sauna was not available. Website state to be use by the local winter swimming club for a period of time and outside those hours it’s available for public. But sadly the day I can’t it was never even heated up

Easy entrance.
Meter shows shallow in entrance areas 1.5m, but suspect to be sea grass or error on sensor. Had lookout and did not see anything

Anchor in sound 8m of water. An easy way to save money off if you were planning to stay in Våge.

Nice historical place to visit.
Can’t during autumn months so things were closed as expected.
Nice harbor all around, could get pretty tight quickly in the summer

Shallow entrance, lookout recommended.

On chart there is marked path for old ferry route. I followed it in and out.

Anchor in 12m of water. Calm all night.

Good alternative for overnight vs Rosendal

Make sure to have your lights on

All facility is good.
Fuel area is quite deep inside and pier is very high, makes for a bit of work solo docking. Has very long fuel hose so can be fuel irrespective of fuel port location.

No Wai island is a small island with good anchorage around. There is a few abandoned resort and active resort on the island.
A quick dingy trip to shore will have restaurants and bungalow to stay in.

All is good. As other state, no buey.
Easy entrance, a bit busy at times.
One caution, I overnight at the floating pier. There were some bugs that kept harassing us.
We ended up moved and anchored mid bay.
