Beautiful village with easy walks for exploring. We walked to our hotel after disembarking the ferry. Enjoyed seeing apple orchards, learning about the early textiles, beautiful Viking statue called Balehaugen in the middle of a residential area. Highly recommend the Midtnes Hotel and the Baalee Restaurant.

A very historic little town in the middle of nowhere.
A very historic little town in the middle of nowhere. IF you plan on doing something other than hiking around the town, like crossing over the fjord to see the Stave Church... best plan ahead. The ferry over there only goes once a day... we missed it.

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.

Gorgeous view! Buffet is excellent and so is the staff at the restaurant. I’d also recommend lunch at the bar. The lounges were elegant and perfect for relaxing with a coffee in the evening. While the room price was expensive, I found the cost of food and drinks to not be overpriced. We had a really nice stay and it’s worthwhile to experience the beauty of this hotel and the surroundings.
The location and the view were stunning. The staff was very welcoming and they upgraded our room for no extra charge. Free croissants and coffee were provided in the morning, but for the breakfast you would have to go to another hotel (as they collaborate). Room was spacious and had a bath tub. We would recommend this place.
Superb small and cosy hotel.
Family owned place with very nice atmosphere.
Excellent restaurant. Certainly the best in the area.
Room was perfect.
From the place, the views are marvelous.
Located at 2 min from the Ferry.
The hotel is reasonably priced compared to other similar hotels in Balestrand. The room was spacious and with a great view. The breakfast buffet was not large, but with sufficient selection.
