Location

Nearby, guests will find a small cafe at the guesthouse itself rated 9/10, but no other stores or restaurants are close by. The isolated location offers stunning views over the fjord and a peaceful atmosphere, but the drive requires caution due to the narrow and sometimes challenging road conditions.
