Eplet – Guesthouse & Hostel

At the heart of the Sognefjord

Welcome to Eplet Bed & Apple

Eplet is a small guesthouse and hostel in a fruit orchard above the Lustrafjord, in the heart of the Sognefjord region.

Eplet is a place for slowing down and staying a while. Families and couples use it as a base for days in the mountains, on the fjord and on the glacier, but just as often the days end up in the garden. Children feed the rabbits, people pick vegetables, cook together in the shared kitchen, or sit outside with a book or a glass of homemade raspberry juice pressed in the cellar.

From Eplet you have easy access to hiking, cycling, kayaking and glacier trips in the Luster region. The ferry to Urnes, the Molden hike, Nigardsbreen glacier and the small villages along the fjord are all close by. Solvorn beach, cafés and the old wooden houses are just a short walk away.

For guests who are not looking for fine dining or polished hotel experiences, Eplet is a simple kind of comfort by the fjord.

Staying at Eplet

Since 2004, Eplet has welcomed travellers from all over the world. What started as a backpacker hostel has gradually become a guesthouse for couples, families and independent travellers who prefer a more personal way of travelling.

Most guests stay for 4–7 nights and use Eplet as a base to explore the Sognefjord region. Some are active every day, others spend time in the garden or down at the beach in Solvorn. Both ways of staying fit here.

Eplet is a place where people share space rather than services. Guests cook in the shared kitchen, spend time in the garden, and often end up talking across tables in the evenings. Over the years the balance has shifted away from short stays and towards slower travel, with guests who choose to stay longer in one place rather than move quickly from one stop to the next.

Eplet is located in Solvorn, a small village on the Lustrafjord. The village has a beach, cafés, and historic wooden houses, and is a short walk from the guesthouse.

From here it is easy to explore the wider Sognefjord region, including hiking routes, cycling roads, kayaking on the fjord and glacier trips at Nigardsbreen and Jostedalsbreen.

We are open from 20 April to 20 September each year.

In July and August we have a minimum stay of 2 nights.

Eplet is not listed on Airbnb or Booking.com. We prefer direct contact with our guests and manage all reservations by email.

To make a reservation, please contact us at post@eplet.no.

We offer light and clean rooms all with a fantastic fjord view. All of our private rooms are newly renovated and sound-proofed. The facitlities are basic but all you need, and all the rooms use shared bathrooms. We are living a good and simple country life. At Eplet you'll find no unnecessary luxury, but a lot of charm, amazing views and good memories. Our aim is to make you feel at home. We are very honest and there are no hidden costs.

Eplet is also a small fruit juice producer. We grow berries and fruits that we press and bottle in the basement. We make around 15,000 litres of juice every year that we sell in the region. When you stay at Eplet you are part of a working local farm.

Eplet is a perfect basecamp for activities in the Sognefjord region. Hike mountains with spectacular views, kayak and swim in the second longest fjord in the world, have a walk on the largest glacier on mainland Europe and go on some great bike rides. Guests at Eplet get a discount for rental bikes and there are 3 different bike routes that we highly recommend. A lot of our guests regret booking just 2 or 3 nights, so we would highly recommend staying 4-7 nights. The bikes are free to borrow if you stay 5 nights or more.
