Moritsgarden

About Moritsgarden

Moritsgarden sits in Bjørkedal, a small village on Norway's west coast in Sunnmøre, about 15 minutes from Nordfjordeid. This is rural living with serious infrastructure—the kind of place where mountain views and hiking trails coexist with 500/500 Mbps fiber internet. It suits people who want to work remotely without the buzz of a city, and who actually enjoy being around others doing the same thing.

The setup is straightforward: private rooms with shared bathrooms, and common spaces that include a full kitchen, lounges, and laundry. Coworking happens across multiple areas with 24/7 access, external monitors, and ergonomic desks. Private single rooms start at 700 euros monthly, with options up to 920 euros. No minimum stay length is specified, so it's worth asking directly.

What's here

• 500/500 Mbps fiber throughout all rooms and common areas
• Coworking spaces with own desk and second monitor setup
• Outdoor workspace
• Full kitchen with dishwasher
• Laundry facilities
• Lake access for swimming, plus hiking trails and mountain views
• Medieval tent and lavvos by the lake
• Shared community car for local trips
• Twice-weekly shopping runs to Nordfjordeid

What makes this place different is the regenerative travel angle. Moritsgarden has been operating as Norway's longest-running cowork/coliving setup, and it operates with minimal bureaucracy—just practical habits that emerge naturally. The community organizes skill-sharing sessions, group dinners, kayaking, and trekking. Local artisans, ceramic makers, and boat builders are part of the scene. The idea is explicit: attract remote workers who bring fresh knowledge to a rural village while actually experiencing Norwegian countryside life, not performing it.

Day trips to the Atlantic Road, Geiranger, and Trollstigen are doable from here. Tea and coffee are complimentary. Meal planning happens individually or collectively.
