Eplet Hostel & Apple Juice Farm

Hidden pearl and perfect basecamp

Welcome to Eplet Bed & Apple

Eplet is a small, family-run guesthouse at the head of the stunning Sognefjord in Western Norway. It’s the perfect basecamp for a backpacking adventure in the fjords — or simply a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature.

Our guests come from all over the world: backpackers, solo travelers, couples, families, young and old. Everyone is welcome at Eplet.

Season: We are open from 20 April to 15 September.

During the summer season, we are in the reception every day and answer emails daily. July and August are our busiest months, so we recommend booking a few days in advance — even for camping.

In March and April, it may be possible to rent rooms, but please book at least one week before arrival. During winter, we only check emails about twice a week.

This is us

At Eplet, we focus on creating a warm, friendly atmosphere and a relaxing, fun experience — not on luxury. There are plenty of fancy hotels elsewhere; here, we value simplicity, community, and nature.

We have a cosy living room with a small library and jazz music in the evenings. Eplet is a social place where you can meet interesting people from around the world. You’ll find two well-equipped guest kitchens, and in our garden you’re welcome to pick your own herbs and vegetables (in exchange for a little weeding!).

There are hammocks in the garden, a nine-hole croquet golf course, a small climbing stone, and even a rabbit house where you can go inside and feed the rabbits with dandelions. At the reception, we sell fresh strawberries picked at Eplet the same morning, and sometimes we have eggs from our own chickens available.

Sounds like a small paradise? Welcome!

Eplet is a small and popular place. In July and August, we can easily become fully booked, so during those weeks we have a minimum stay of 2 nights in rooms and 3 nights on the campground — this helps keep the atmosphere relaxed for both you and us. The rest of the year, you’re free to stay as long (or as short) as you wish.

Please book by email — we’re not able to take bookings by phone. You can call us only if you need a room within 24 hours or in case of an emergency.
