To explore the Woodnests, you must set out on a journey that takes you up a mountainside and into the woods. The climb is a departure from ordinary life, leading you into something untouched and unique.
The hike takes about 20-45 minutes, depending on your fitness level and the weather. The trail is steep and can get slippery when wet, so we recommend wearing hiking shoes and appropriate clothing.
Good to know
Fly in to Bergen Airport and rent a car to do the 3 hour drive to Odda. The best route is via Jondal/Tørvikbygd which involves a drive-on ferry. You do not have to prebook the ferry. If you travel by public transport, you can take the 930 bus that leaves twice daily from downtown Bergen bus station.
Cancellation four weeks prior to checkin = 100% refund
Cancellation two weeks prior to checkin = 50% refund
Cancellation later than two weeks prior to checkin = no refund
We have free parking for our guests at the starting point of the hike to the treehouses.
Check-in: 3 pm
Check-out: 11 am
We recommend starting the hike 30 minutes before checkin.
The hike can be challenging, depending on your fitness levels and weather. There is a combination of steel and wooden steps, stone path and uneven levels. The hike is steep, and we recommend that you carefully consider wether you are capable before booking.
As breathtaking as the view overlooking the fjord is, you will notice a factory set in the fjord with lights and steam. Although it is one of the most climate effective zinc factories in the world, it might disrupt the pure natural beauty for some.
Woodnest has a total of four treehouses; two Originals and two Mountaintops. Each treehouse is perfect for two people. Our “Original” treehouses have a max capacity of four persons, while our “Mountaintop” treehouses have a max capacity of two persons.
The only food service we offer is the Lovenest package - a welcome snack platter - and only if ordered.
The Norwegian "cabin tradition" includes bringing your own groceries and making simple and tasty meals in the treehouse.
Yes! We have a small kitchenette with two induction hot plates, a sink and small fridge. We also provide saucepans and frying pans, cooking utensils and basic cooking essentials like oil, salt and pepper. If cooking is not your thing, we have provided suggestions for local dine-in and takeaway.
The toilet and shower are inside the treehouse (we know, can you believe it?!). Once you have arrived in the nest, you will not have to leave to take care of any of your “business”. Towels and toilet paper are provided for our guests
Children are only allowed in the Original Treehouses. Children must be supervised by their parent/guardians at all times. Before bringing children to Woodnest, you should consider additional factors such as steep hills and uneven grounds, steep stairs and cliff edges. Young children will need to be assisted when walking up to the treehouse. We do not have cots or travel beds, you cannot push a stroller up there. We have high chairs, but please notify us when booking if you need a high chair.
Unfortunately, based on the location of the treehouses, we are unable to provide any alternate options for those who use wheelchairs or other mobility aids
