General Information
Breakfast

Check-out
We kindly ask you to check out before 11:00. If you would like a late check-out, please contact us as early as possible or the night before. If not, you will be charged a late check-out fee.
Internet Access
We provide Wifi free of charge. You will find the password in the kitchen. There is also open Wifi in the clubhouse and at Restaurant Låven.
Midnight Sun
We are located at 68° North, above the Arctic Circle. This means that we experience a phenomenon called the midnight sun from late May to mid-July. This means there is no sunset and it is light all night long. It is a truly magical experience!
Northern Lights
From the end of August until the beginning of April you can experience another amazing phenomenon called The Northern Lights. What makes our lodges special is that you can see them from the comfort of your lodge and out side on the patio. Turn off indoor and outdoor lights to decrease light pollution.
Opening Hours
Reception, the golf course and the restaurant open hours all vary, depending on the season. Please contact us at +47 760 72 002 if you have any questions.
Pets
Pets are only allowed in Lodge 7 if you have rented the entire lodge. If you chose to bring your pet inside one of the other lodges, we reserve the right to charge you an additional fee up to 2000 NOK.
Dining
You have a few options for dining. Restaurant Låven is located down the way from the Lodges and serves delicious local food in a rustic barn. The Clubhouse serves waffles and baguettes, along with snacks and beverages. About 5 kilometers down the street is a local grocery store, open 24 hours a day, where you can buy items to cook yourself in your lodge or have a picnic. We also recommend exploring various restaurants on the archipelago. Contact us for recommendations and more information.
Smoking
Smoking is not allowed in the Lodges! Smoke detectors are installed in all rooms. Thank you! Again, we reserve the right to charge you a fine up to 2000 NOK.
Valuables
We are not liable for damaged or stolen valuables in the Lodges.
Housekeeping
If you are staying with us for an extended period of time, we will send cleaners to remove trash, fill toilet paper and change towels. If you need additional items or want additional cleaning, please contact us at reception.
Washing Machine
The washing machine is located in the kitchen next to the refrigerator inside a cabinet.
Fireplace
It is very cozy to make a fire in the fireplace, especially while watching the northern lights through the wide windows in the living room. We provide one basket of wood for you to use. If you would like more wood, you can purchase more from reception.
To light the fire, start with placing small pieces of wood and/or paper in the fireplace. Light a fire starter and use it to light the small pieces of wood and paper (make sure there is enough air supply). Once the fire is lit and going, you can add the bigger pieces of wood. Don’t forget to close the door of the fireplace. When the fire is burnt out, let the ashes cool down. NEVER put hot ashes in to the waste bins.

All numbers are Norwegian numbers. If you have a foreign phone, you need to add the country code before the number (+47).
