The hotel focuses on allowing its guests to experience the region to the fullest , which is evident from the wonderfully homely public areas with their large windows , allowing uninterrupted views of the fjord . The hotel ’ s 14 unique rooms are all minimalistic yet effective , allowing the location and the incredible views which many of them enjoy to be the main centrepiece . The restaurant serves a range of local products including local fish , venison , beef , lamb , honey and herbs from the hotel ’ s own garden in a set 3-course menu , and there is a presentation before it is served about the area , food and available activities . It is possible to organise a wide range of activities through the hotel , such as kayaking , hiking and glacier walking . In the summer months from June until mid-September there is a ferry from Fjaerland to Balestrand which takes about 90 minutes each way . After an adventurous day of exploration , take the time to relax on the terrace overlooking the fjord and savour the tranquillity which the hotel offers .
