About this property

Hardangerfjord View - luxury fjord-side holiday home

For decades, our Hardanger heritage home served as a guesthouse for travellers across the world. Following a complete renovation, we are delighted to return this 105-year-old property to its original purpose, welcoming guests who wish to experience the beauty and serenity of the great fjords.

Beautifully appointed and elegantly furnished, this five-bedroom luxury retreat boasts fjord views on all sides. The first floor comprises an entrance area, bathroom, open-plan kitchen-diner and living room with balcony. Five bedrooms (two king-sized mattresses, two doubles and one single), a second lounge with sofa bed and TV, home office, shower room and fully equipped laundry room make up the second floor. This spacious family home can comfortably accommodate up to 11 guests, with extra beds available.

A large furnished deck provides ample space for outdoor dining with a chef's BBQ grill to hand. A kayak and SUP paddleboards are also available for guest use free of charge.

Within 5 km of Norheimsund (gateway to Hardanger) and a short walk from Øystese, the property is situated on Norway's renowned Hardanger National Scenic Route, just over an hour from Bergen. Filled with all the charm of a fjord-side community, Øystese features eateries, supermarkets, the Kabuso Culture Centre, the Hardangerbadet Water Park, fjord boat tours, the Hardanger Golf Club, countless hiking trails, outdoor activities, including cross-country skiing, and more.

With off-road parking and public transport links to Bergen and other towns and villages across the region, this property is ideally located for access to all the sights. Vehicles can also be hired from the village.

Whatever your travel plans, our Hardangerfjord hideaway will not disappoint.

Amazing stay for our family!

We have stayed at many places all over the world and we felt like this might have been our very best experience. Sarah was attentive and communicative, and the house had every small detail taken care of for us. It is also in one of the most beautiful locations we have ever seen. We were able to rent a small boat nearby and explore the fjord from the water and loved the view from this house (morning and evening). We hope to go back some day!

Wonderful home!

My family and I (13 years old to 82 years old) had a fantastic holiday here. This is the best VRBO I have stayed in. The host provided everything you might need or think of - her information packet is better than most tourist books you will find! She was also incredibly responsive to questions. The location is simply beautiful and the area offers many things to see and do. I could say so many other things but will end with this - if you want to see Norway, then this is the place to go.

Dear Hannah, Thank you so much for your kind and generous words, for which I am truly grateful. It was an absolute pleasure to host you and your family. I’m delighted to know that the house worked well for all three generations. I’m especially touched by your comment about our area guide. I am so in love with western Norway and just love sharing travel tips and experiences. It’s encouraging to know that this was helpful. There is just so much to do and see in our region. You were such a lovely guest Hannah. Thank you for everything. I very much hope that our paths will cross again. Warmest wishes, Sarah

Dear Michel, Thank you for your generous review, which means the world to me. I’m delighted that our holiday home, its location, and the little extras helped to enhance your stay in Hardanger. It’s wonderful to know you made the most of the facilities. I’m over the moon to hear that you rate your family holiday in Norway this summer so highly. That is the highest compliment and makes my heart glad. It was an absolute pleasure to host you Michel. I’d be thrilled to welcome you back to Øystese anytime. Warmest regards, Sarah

Ein wunderschöner Urlaub

Eine sehr schöne und sehr gut ausgestattete Unterkunft zum Wohlfühlen. Auch die Lage ist für Ausflüge zum Erkunden der reizvollen Landschaft perfekt. Sarah ist für Fragen jederzeit ansprechbar und ihr liegt es sehr am Herzen, dass der Urlaub in ihrem Haus rundum gelungen ist. So stellt sie umfangreiche Infomappen zur Verfügung, zum Beispiel mit den schönsten Ausflugszielen in der Nähe. Es war eine sehr schöne Woche, die leider viel zu schnell vergangen ist. Vielen lieben Dank, liebe Sarah!
