Boen Gard, WorldHotels Crafted

Situated along the Tovdalselva River, just inland from Southern Norway’s rugged coastline and archipelago, Boen Gard is an elegant historic estate where tranquility, gastronomy, and heritage come together. Hidden from the public for generations, the estate first opened its doors in 2012 and today appears beautifully restored, preserving the grandeur and atmosphere of its former glory days. The main house from 1813 is surrounded by a classic park and features carefully restored interiors with period furniture, art, and bright lounges that create a refined yet welcoming atmosphere. Boen Gard is renowned for its Michelin-recognized kitchen, where seasonal ingredients and local produce are at the heart of every dining experience. Vegetables, herbs, berries, apples, pears, and honey are harvested from the estate’s organic gardens, while lamb from the surrounding landscape and wild salmon from the river feature prominently on the menu. Small local suppliers complete the culinary experience. Boen Gard, WorldHotels Crafted offers 18 charming double rooms spread across historic riverside buildings and the wings of the main house, blending rustic character with modern comfort. Boen Gard also provides unique facilities for meetings, conferences, and private events alongside memorable activities such as salmon fishing, croquet, and wine cellar visits.
