Hardangerfjord hideaway - luxury heritage home near Norheimsund, Kvam

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!
