    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.

    Great place about a 5-10 minute walk from the ferry. Views from the room over the fjord are excellent. Rooms are very basic, but clean and comfortable. Coffee & pastries included for breakfast or a discount coupon for the restaurant at a nearby hotel. Access to a fabulous sauna below the hotel that has access to the water and beautiful views (you have to book and pay for this, but it was the highlight of our visit!).

    Breakfast was good, eggs and meat to order, plenty of choices. Great coffee, not machine self serve. They provide evening meals and food was delicious and fresh. Staff was excellent, our room was the only one with balcony and large, so pleasant and a wonderful surprise for us. History of the hotel was wonderful—ask for the background when you get there. 70 years in business, still run by the family.

    The breakfast was extensive with juices, hot and cold cereals, boiled and scrambled eggs, a variety of breads, meats, and lox, and plenty of wonderful steaming coffee. A true delight! The gentleman at the front desk was personable, kind, and enthusiastic from the moment he picked us up at the ferry until we said good-bye.I sincerely hope I can go back to the Midtnes Hotel someday!

    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.

    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.

    Great huge apartment on the waterfront. Our group of 5 adults had plenty of room. We had a large deck overlooking the water. Convenient location to restaurants and the grocery store. I would highly recommend this apartment.

    We didn't stay due to the substandard nature of the accommodations. We left after ten minutes. This is the first time we have ever felt the need to leave a place we'd booked.
