"A little weird with no reception, only electronic. But it all worked fine. There's a machine with snacks and beverages, a ping pong table, self serve laundromat with ironing board. And there is an actual human being on-site in a small office. Had no need to interact but was nice to know if you were to have some problem that there is a human being to help. Not sure if there is someone there around the clock or not. Anyway, enjoyed our stay. It's two blocks from the ferry terminal."

"The view over the water, islands and mountains is incredibly beautiful and not to be missed. The owners are very friendly and very accommodating. We had a special vegetarian lunch which was delicious and plentiful. The sauna with a view was so fun and relaxing. It is on the dock where you can jump in the water if you dare! It is cold and refreshing. It is worth the commute into Stavanger, about 30 minutes, to be on this peaceful and lovely island at this welcoming, homey place."
