About the holiday home:
The house was renovated in 2024 and partially refurnished. The exterior façade was also redesigned. The roof was renewed at the end of 2022. Furthermore, there is now a private jetty for up to 3 boats.
The holiday home is located directly on the fjord. With its approx. 110 m² of living space, it is ideal for 4 - 6 people.
The house has 2 bedrooms, 1 large bathroom, 1 spacious kitchen, a large living room with an open fireplace, a dining set and a cosy armchair corner, as well as a sofa set with a fantastic fjord view.
There is also a small cottage on the property with 2 comfortable beds, which is not only popular with children. In exceptional cases, 2 comfortable sun loungers could serve as additional sleeping accommodation.
The kitchen is equipped with a large freezer, electric cooker with oven and microwave. A washing machine and tumble dryer for your holiday laundry are available in the laundry room.
In addition to a large terrace and garden, the house also has a fishing platform. The jetty and garden are fenced off from the fjord so that the property is also suitable for children. The rich fishing grounds in the surrounding area are easily accessible by boat (this is only available from April/May to October due to weather conditions).
A portable stereo system, a large LCD TV, a video recorder, a DVD player and our small video library, as well as a Nintendo games console and other amenities round off your holiday enjoyment.
We are happy to provide you with WLAN free of charge,

Connections:
You can use both the bus and express boat connections in Balestrand. Details are best obtained from the tourist information centre in Balestrand or via the Internet.
The surrounding area:
Even for Norway, this holiday home is in a unique location. Surrounded by beautiful nature, the house is situated directly on the Esefjord near the mouth of the Sognefjord and only 1 kilometre from the historically famous town of Balestrand.
The Sognefjord is the longest and deepest fjord in Europe, about 204 km long and up to 1308 metres deep. The surrounding area with its mighty glaciers and the highest mountains in Scandinavia is considered one of the most beautiful holiday destinations in the world.
There are various hiking routes around Balestrand, with different levels of difficulty and viewpoints from which to marvel at the fjord from above.
In our opinion, the Jostedalsbreen (Europe's largest continental glacier) and the oldest stave church in Norway at Urnes in Luster (UNESCO World Heritage Site) are worth seeing in the "Sogn of Fjordane" area. Other highlights include the world-famous Nærøyfjord, a tributary of the Sognefjord (60 km away), a ride on the Flambahn (tours can be booked from Balestrand). On the Flam Railway's 20 km route, you can see rivers rushing through deep gorges, roaring waterfalls cascading down steep cliffs and snow-covered mountains and mountain farms on their slopes. The area around Gaularfjellet is also particularly idyllic.
The Jotunheimen National Park or the Sognefjord mountain landscape are also ideal for mountain tours or skiing.
In winter there are also attractive offers, such as a floodlit cross-country ski trail (in the village). Alpine skiing is possible in nearby Sognedal or in Hemsedal, which is approx. 2.5 hours away by car. The Hemsedal ski area is located in Hallingdal (Buskerud). There are 52 pistes and 1.7 km of ski routes for skiing and snowboarding. 24 lifts transport guests. The winter sports area lies at an altitude of 620 to 1450 metres. In and around the Hemsedal ski area, often referred to as the Alps of Norway, there are numerous different activities on offer, cross-country skiing, snowshoe hikes, snowmobiling and dog sledding tours are just a few of the activities on offer in addition to skiing and snowboarding. Every winter sports enthusiast's heart beats faster, because skiing in unspoilt nature is becoming less and less possible.
