    Take the fast ferry (4 hours) from Bergen and slow down and enjoy the glorious surroundings. Be prepared to relax and enjoy the quiet. We ate our meals and enjoyed cocktails at the Kviknes Hotel. We slept at the Balestrand Hotel and enjoyed the quiet.

    Arriving by ferry drops you at the heart of the town.

    Arriving by ferry drops you at the heart of the town. Walking south along Kong Beles Veg for about 2 kilometers affords beautiful views of St. Olaf's church, the picturesque valley, the beach, the hills, and several "Swiss-style" charming old houses. A must-see is Balestrand's little beach and the deep, clear pools beside it where I sat for ages soaking up the sound of the water's tranquil lapping on the rocks and watching fish zip around way below the surface of the crystal-clear water. I even caught people swimming and sunning themselves at midday in late September! There were not many dining options post-tourist-season, but I had the soup at the chocolatery called Holmen within the main triangle of town, and though I found it overpriced (compared to prices in Bergen), it was delicious.

    Our family absolutely loved staying at Frydenlund near Balestrand. Everything in the property's information was accurate. Great hosts who helped us when we had some questions, Views are wonderful and several areas in which to relax and enjoy them. Check-in was easy as there was a door code. While we would love to return to this part of Norway we would only do so if we could also stay at Frydenlund.

    Beautiful location and friendly small town.

    Beautiful location and friendly small town. Unfortunately it rained quite heavy in September 2019 when we were there so that we couldn't do much biking and hiking as we had anticipated, but there was still enough to do to keep us occupied the day and a half that we spent there. Dinner with a piano concert in the Kviknes Hotel was particularly memorable.

    Cute town with a lot packed into a small place.

    Cute town with a lot packed into a small place. Walking around town is easy. There are two grocery stores and plenty of restaurants. We went to an English Mass at St Olaf's Church too. If we had arrived earlier in the day we might have had time to fish from the shores of the fjord.

    Couldn't have asked for a better location, a very short stroll from the dock where we came in and out via boat, aswell as shops, restaurants, the museum and aquarium. Great communication from host, easy to collect the keys, and the apartment had everything we needed, including a rack to dry clothes on which was approciated. Good variety of films to watch on the tv in english, really spacious, and different bins for recycling. Would definitely stay again if we were in the area.

    The location of the hotel was just perfect and the view of the fjord from the room was spectacular. The room in the more modern part was very comfortable, spacious, quiet and very clean. The breakfast offered a lot of choice and was in the restaurant room with a great view of the fjord. The old part contains several lounges and a very comfortable terrace which can be used by hotel guests. The staff was very welcoming and helpful.

    We loved everything about our stay. Our room was lovely, as was our view, even in the rain. We were able to do our laundry. Breakfast was really nice. But our host, Magnar, truly made our stay great! He contacted the car rental for us and even printed maps for the next part of our holiday! The restaurant he recommended was one of the best meals we’ve had. We will be returning for a second stay because we had such a good experience.

    I don’t normally leave reviews, but we absolutely loved our stay so we had to! The place is in perfect location, has one of the most amazing views I’ve seen and is very spacious. The owner was very quick to reply, and very accommodating. The kitchen and bathroom have been updated so the current photos don’t do it justice! We were very warm and comfortable and it was nice to catch up on some washing. Highly recommend staying here!

    Although the nearby restaurant was closed, there was a Coop Prix and Joker supermarkets for us to buy our grocerries. Everything was perfect. As per our request, we were given an apartment with a balcony with sea view. In fact, this was the best place we stayed during our 16 days long journey.

    I think it is one of the best apartments we have ever stayed. Very spacious with really well thought layout. View of the fjord from large well equipped balcony to spend the evening on. Despite next to harbour absolutely quiet. We only wished we stayed longer as area is phenomenal

    Extremely friedly hostess. Truly fantastic view. Comfortable cabin. Great for families because of the farm animals. Balestrand area offers lots of things to see and do such as great hiking, boat trips, museum, aquarium and the majestic Sognefjord.
