You will get info about the address when you make the reservation. Please see pictures about public transportation, as we can not post links here. If you come from Odda you can either drive through Jondal, which is the fastest way, or through Utne, where you will see a lot of nice nature =)
Getting Around:
If you come from Oslo/Gardermoen we recommend that you take road E134 over Haukelifjell, and not Road 7, even if this is the shortest way. There are not many ferries going from Kinsarvik to Utne, and in the winter the weather is better at road E134.
