Bekkjarvik Gjestgiveri has the ocean and the history as a background, and is located on one of the real pearls of islands, in the municipality of Austevoll, south of Bergen. The Inn was established as a royal order, from the Danish King Christian Quart in the 1500-hundreds, decided that inns should be built at each half- or full day’s journey in the channel lead. Bekkjarvik Gjestgiveri was built at the end of the 1600-hundreds, and has greeted lodgers for over three hundred years. From the old days hunting and fishing has been the basis of existence for the people at Austevoll. At Bekkjarvik they salted herring, exported lobster, and made thousands of barrels and hangers for closing nets. Here were wharf side houses and sheds, bakery and distillery. Bekkjarvik Gjestgiveri has always been a natural center in this vigorous bustle and rush. Bekkjarvik and the Inn prosper in the new times. The old barrel factory and the store have been aesthetically renovated. The buildings are kept in good repair and the people are friendly. The inn welcomes guests from all parts of the World, either for parties, recreation, meetings or incentives. Today Austevoll has a lively coastal culture, a modern fishing industry and Norway’s largest fishery- and offshore-fleet. Two-legged and four-legged friends and the wild sheep live together in great unity, among beautiful moors and slopes of naked rock, facing the great ocean. 667- pearls of islands glitter in our rich empire, on the west coast of Norway. Since 1982 Bekkjarvik Inn has been owned and operated by Oystein and Asta Johannessen. They have developed the Inn to become the coast’s most exciting travel destination for tourists and firms, for courses/conferences or for private persons, who wish to celebrate their great events here. Therefore, please follow us further into the Inn and to our adventures in the kingdom of islands.
