Frequently asked questions
Find answers to questions big and small about your stay with us.
Can I hire a boat without staying with you?
Yes, you are welcome to hire just a boat. Browse our boats and choose the one that suits your trip.
How do I find you?
Fåravegen 45 is our contact address. Each cabin or apartment has its own address on its detail page.
Can you explain the route step by step?
Drive to Judaberg ferry quay on Finnøy.
Take your car on the ferry to Helgøy. Check your departure and timetable notes before setting off.
From Helgøy, drive on to Furrehytter on Bjergøy. The map link below takes you to Fåravegen 45.
Plan your journey from Fiskepiren in Stavanger to Nesheim on Bjergøy with Kolumbus.
No worries – of course we’ll pick you up! Let us know in advance which boat you’re arriving on, and we’ll arrange to meet you at the quay.
Tickets and reservations at Kolumbus ↗I'm arriving by plane. How do I get to you?
From Stavanger Airport, take a taxi or Flybussen to Stavanger city centre and continue to Fiskepiren. From there, take an express boat to Nesheim on Bjergøy.
No worries – of course we’ll pick you up! Let us know in advance which boat you’re arriving on, and we’ll arrange to meet you at the quay.
What should I bring?
Bring everyday supplies for your stay: hand soap, dishwasher tablets, toilet paper, laundry detergent, washing-up liquid, body wash and rubbish bags.
Our Norwegian packing mnemonic is HOTVOKS – each letter stands for an item on the list in Norwegian.
Also bring bed linen and towels unless you have rented them from us.
Can I bring a dog or cat?
Yes, four-legged guests are welcome too! Keep them off the furniture indoors and under control outside. Be considerate of your neighbours – and remember that there are sheep and cows nearby.
Do you have life jackets?
Yes, you can borrow life jackets free of charge. You’ll find them at “Svålå”. Please hang them back in place after use, ready for the next guest.
What about fishing rods?
We have a small selection of basic fishing rods and other tackle to borrow. Check Furrehytter Minimarket.
Where can I clean my fish?
All fish must be cleaned at the fish-cleaning table by the concrete quay. Cleaning fish in or beside the cabins and apartments is not permitted.
What should I do with fish waste?
The parts of the fish you do not want to eat should go back into the sea. Please take them beyond the sound before disposing of them, so gulls and other scavengers are not attracted to the accommodation and car park.
Something is missing from the kitchen – what should I do?
Let us know! The kitchen should have what you need for everyday cooking. If anything is missing, we’ll be happy to help.
Do you have barbecues?
Barbecues are available for all cabins and apartments. Some are fixed in place, while others are portable. H8 and H21 have gas barbecues. If you have forgotten to bring gas, you can buy it at Joker Eriksholmen or from us.
Do you have cots and high chairs?
We have a limited number of travel cots and high chairs available to rent. Contact us before you arrive and we’ll check what’s available.
I’ve forgotten bed linen and towels!
No worries – you can rent them from us. Get in touch or send a text to +47 47 661 662, and we’ll help you out.
Where can I get firewood?
We sell firewood in the woodshed at the end of Cabin 5 and in “Svålå”, the passage between the concrete quay and the waterfront cabins.
What's the Wi-Fi password?
There is a QR code on the wall in your accommodation. Scan it to connect!
Fancy something warm to eat?
We don't normally serve food ourselves, but we work closely with Sjernarøytunet. If you would like a meal at Sjernarøytunet or delivered to your cabin, we will gladly try to arrange it. For a small snack, there is a minimarket on the stage.
Is there a TV?
Yes. Every cabin has a TV connected to an aerial, a satellite receiver and a Chromecast. The aerial provides NRK channels, and the satellite receiver offers mainly German channels from Astra. Chromecast lets you stream from your own services. Most streaming apps support it: connect your phone to the same network as the Chromecast and start casting.
Do you have a washing machine?
Yes, there’s a shared laundry room by the quay, at the end of L11. You can hang your clothes to dry outside the laundry room or on your own terrace.
There are also some toys for children to borrow. Please put them back after use and let us know if anything gets broken.
What can I do here? I’m bored.
Maybe now’s the time to open that book you brought along?
If you’d rather get out and do something, take a look at our activities – or ask us. We’ll be happy to suggest things to do during your stay.
How do I report a problem or make a suggestion?
We want everything to be just right when you stay with us. Please let us know if something is not as it should be in your cabin, apartment, boat or around the site – or if you have an idea for improvement. At feil.furrehytter.no you can report a problem or choose “I have a suggestion”. You can add photos and leave your contact details if you would like a reply. No login is needed.
For urgent problems, contact Furrehytter directly.
