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

Altmõisa Guesthouse is located on the edge of Matsalu National Park and has become a favorite among birdwatchers from around the world. During the migration season, tens of thousands of birds pass over our house, forage in the fields, and settle into Matsalu Bay each evening.

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.

Guests from the UK, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, and the USA travel here to witness this natural spectacle.

Our trusted partners and guides include NaTourEst, AktivEst, Birding Haapsalu and many others.

We are always happy to welcome new tour operators.   Our cosy, nature-inspired guesthouse offers your clients comfortable accommodation, delicious meals made from local ingredients, and beautifully packed picnic baskets for day excursions. We’re here to ensure your guests feel truly at home – surrounded by birdsong, tranquil landscapes, and warm, personal hospitality that Altmõisa Guesthouse has offer for almost 22 years already.
