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.

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!

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!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
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.
