Altmõisa Guesthouse -
Nature by day, relax in comfort by night – experience the true spirit of Matsalu.

Welcome to Altmõisa Guesthouse, a warm and tranquil hideaway on the edge of Matsalu National Park – one of Europe’s top birdwatching destinations. During the migration season, tens of thousands of birds pass over our house, forage in the fields, and settle into Matsalu Bay each evening.

We offer:

  • Comfortable accommodation for up to 37 guests in 12 peaceful and comfortable rooms, each including a private bathroom
  • Home-cooked seasonal meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner and picnic baskets on the go), with over 50% of ingredients from local organic farms, supporting a sustainable approach to food
  • Local guide recommendations - our trusted partners and guides include NaTourEst, AktivEst, Birding Haapsalu and many others.
  • Quiet corners, sauna, and wildflower gardens with wild and rare orchids for relaxing between outings
  • Matsalu Wild Flavours – Cocktail Workshop with local guide Margus Maripuu (can be tailored to not include alcohol)
  • Warm Estonian hospitality with a personal touch that Altmõisa Guesthouse has offered for almost 22 years already.
  • We are EUROPARC sustainable tourism certified

We're open all year round and easily accessible from Tallinn (1,5 hours). Group rates and tailored itineraries are available.

Our season begins in April with the arrival of migratory birds and lasts until October, when the flocks move on. In the summer months, nature enthusiasts can marvel at wild orchids in bloom. Beyond birds, Matsalu is also home to many fascinating mammals, including lynx and elk. Wake to the sound of warblers in the reeds, spot sea eagles from our garden, and rest in individually designed rooms filled with local character.

Come see why birders from all over the world return year after year.
At Altmõisa, you don’t just watch nature, you feel part of it.
