Stay in former stockfish bacalao factory on Averøy Atlanterhavsveien
Stay in a former stockfish bacalao factory on Averøy
Sveggvika is more than a place to stay. The buildings are part of the coastal history of Nordmøre, where fishing, seafaring, stockfish and bacalao have shaped local life and trade for generations.
Sveggvika Bacalao Hotel is located in a former stockfish bacalao factory dating from 1922, right by the sea on Averøy. Today, the historic buildings have been given new life as a hotel and restaurant while retaining much of the character and history that make Sveggvika special.
Here, accommodation, food and coastal heritage come together in a setting shaped by the sea.
From stockfish and bacalao to hotel
Sveggvika’s history is closely connected to the sea and to Norway’s long traditions of stockfish and bacalao.
For generations, dried fish products were an important part of life and trade along the Norwegian coast. Stockfish and bacalao connected small coastal communities in Norway with markets far beyond the country’s borders and became an important part of the culture and economy of this region.
At Sveggvika, this history is still present in the buildings, the surroundings and the atmosphere.
Where fish was once processed and prepared for trade, guests can now stay in comfortable rooms, enjoy a meal and experience the coastal landscape just outside the door.
Rather than hiding the past behind a modern hotel style, we want the historic buildings, original character and close relationship with the sea to remain part of the experience.
Rooms with character
The rooms at Sveggvika vary in size, layout and character.
Some are ideal for one or two guests, while others offer more space for families and friends travelling together. Several rooms have views towards the sea, while others face the historic buildings and entrance area.
The rooms combine the rustic atmosphere of Sveggvika with modern comfort. Private bathrooms feature soft towels and bathroom amenities from Rituals.
Each room has its own character, allowing you to choose the accommodation that best suits your stay.

Stockfish and bacalao heritage
The story of Sveggvika is part of a much larger Norwegian coastal tradition.
Stockfish has been produced along the Norwegian coast for centuries, while bacalao represents another important part of the history of preserved fish and international trade.
These traditions helped shape coastal communities and created strong connections between Norway and countries further south in Europe.
This stockfish and bacalao heritage is an important part of the identity behind the name Sveggvika Bacalao Hotel.
The name connects the history of the place with our ambition to make food, coastal culture and local traditions an even stronger part of the Sveggvika experience.
The story continues around the table
The connection to the coast does not end with the historic buildings.
Food is an important part of the experience at Sveggvika Bacalao Hotel. Our kitchen draws inspiration from the surrounding sea, local ingredients and the culinary traditions of the Norwegian coast.
Naturally, seafood, stockfish and bacalao have a special place in this story.
Our restaurant offering changes with the seasons, with different menus and food experiences throughout the year. We therefore recommend checking the current restaurant offering when planning your visit.
