Boen Gård

Nestled just a few kilometers inland from Sørlandet’s rugged coastline, along the shores of the Tovdalselva River, lies the elegant Boen Gård. This historic property remained private until it was opened for exclusive events in 2012.

A classic park surrounds the stunning main house, built in 1813, which has been meticulously restored to preserve its timeless charm. The building features period furniture and artwork, offering guests spacious, light-filled rooms and lounges spread across two floors.

Boen Gård’s kitchen is renowned for its emphasis on locally sourced, seasonal ingredients, creating exquisite dishes that truly showcase the flavors and origins of each ingredient. Fresh vegetables, apples, berries, herbs, and honey are harvested from the estate's own garden, while lamb from the surrounding wildlands and wild salmon from the estate’s private fishing rights also feature prominently in the menu. The hotel takes great pride in its Michelin-recognized kitchen, setting the standard for exceptional dining in an atmosphere where taste and quality are paramount.

Boen Gård offers a total of 18 double rooms. Fourteen of these are located in two historical buildings along the riverbank, which have recently undergone extensive renovation. Here, the rustic and rugged meets the comfortable and modern. The remaining four rooms are situated in the wings of the main house, where the servants' quarters once were.

For meetings, conferences, and events, Boen Gård offers unique facilities in the newly renovated "Ishuset." With thick stone walls and all the necessary technical equipment, the building can accommodate between 20 and 40 people, depending on the seating arrangement.
