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.

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!

About the host

Your host

I am an international civil servant by trade, an intrepid traveller and an arts appreciator with a passion for the great outdoors. I have lived, worked and studied across four continents, but northern Europe will always be home.

Why they chose this property

Growing up in the north east of England, Norway was always on the radar as our neighbour on the other side of the great North Sea. However, it took over four decades to discover the exquisite beauty of the country during an epic road trip through the western fjord region. You could call it love at first sight because, after that, all roads led to Norway. After many months of exploration, I finally settled on Hardanger as the region I wanted to make my home from home. Acquiring our heritage property in Øystese, a former guesthouse on the banks of Hardangerfjord, was a dream fulfilled - a much yearned for retreat following years of urban living.

What makes this property unique

Having travelled extensively, both for work and pleasure, I feel I can say with some authority that there is no place quite like Norway, and the western fjords in particular. Staying in our Hardanger hideaway, nestled in a quaint fjord-side village, framed by snow-capped mountains with views of Folgefonna glacier to the south and the great Hardangerfjord all around, is a uniquely Norwegian experience. Having found here a deep and enveloping inner peace, rarely encountered in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, I am now on a mission to share it with others.
