Nevlunghavn Gjestgiveri

How about fresh sea air and sunny days at the seaside hotel in Nevlunghavn.

Nevlunghavn Gjestgiveri has always had the magic you expect from a seaside hotel that you come back to. Golden glasses with fresh mocktails and shellfish on white tablecloths. The combination of rough sea and delicate sugar pretzels from the pastry shop, kids fishing for crabs, partying under the chandeliers with a view of sailboats under the full moon. A hint of cigar in the night. Beach guests, that is!

Welcome to the hotel's 15 small but beautiful rooms with good beds and the details that make the difference between a beach guest and an ordinary guest. Wrap yourself in your bathrobe, take a refreshing morning bath before breakfast, walk around idyllic Nevlunghavn and look forward to lovely summer days.

As a guest at the seaside hotel, you have placed yourself in the middle of the food platter; the proximity to the Skagerak means daily access to fresh ingredients such as freshly cooked shrimp, crayfish and fish. Everyone deserves a few days as a beach guest – welcome to Nevlunghavn Gjestgiveri.
