Beautiful views, wonderful location and excellent overall apartment.
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.

This is one of the best property we have stayed with our travelling. The property was big, more than enough for us but I knew this and since it's very reasonable with the view of the fjord and few minutes walk to the ferry pier. The host provided all amenities you could think of and more so it was like home away from home...thank you. Balestrand is a beautiful village and with exceptional accomodations we enjoyed this place tremendously. We were lucky with beautiful weather and light intermitten rains.
Perfect large room overlooking the fjord. Very good value for money - the hotel is basic but really comfortable, spotlessly clean and the staff are lovely. We had the subsidised breakfast at the Kviknes hotel on one day, which was excellent, and the delicioius fresh croissants and coffee/tea provided free by the Balestrand hotel on the other day. The hotel is very well positioned near the boats and has a lovely garden.
We particularly liked the owners approach to his guests- quietly reliable, helpful, sincere and attentive.
The furnishing and paintings in the public areas of the hotel were quite unique as an historical record.
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.
The views, friendly staff, run by family. Very nice. Also nice activities (rent bikes in Balestrand for a day and bike up to Menes, best way to explore fjords). We loved the place
