Rental cabins
We have unusual cabins for hire with a special atmostphere from the old days. 4 of the cabins have a top modern standard.. The cabins were originally old log buildings located on farms in the district; the buildings were dismantled, moved to Mjonøy and set up again for use as cabins by Alv Negarden in the 50's and 60's. Here you'll find buildings previously used as storehouses as well as an old barn. In the building "Eldhuset" (i.e. "the cookhouse") you'll receive keys to your cabin, you can buy a fishing license and we will assist you with any other services you require as a cabin guest.

Bakery and food service
Our bakery, "Kringlegarden", is equipped with a large woodburning stone oven. We have a good selection of fresh baked goods: whole wheat bread, white bread, rolls, cinnamon buns and pastries. In the summer, the bakery is in daily operation. During summer season we serve fresh baked goods, warm food and soup.

Tailor-made banquets
Our kitchen has the capacity to handle parties of up to 60 guests. In addition to the food, we can help to arrange for entertainment and dance music. Contact us and we'll put together just what you're looking for!

Stampa ("The stamping mill")
In the old days each community had its own stamping mill; these however are all gone now. We are therefore very proud to have a stamping mill at Mjonøy! The mill is driven by waterpower and located by the Klevastøyl river, which runs past Mjonøy. The mill was set up in 1999 by Vinje handverkslag ("handicraft organization") and Arne Skevik; it is used to mill homespun (cloth).

Courses and other activities
At Mjonøy, there is activity all year round. We arrange a wide variety of courses: food and wine appreciation, Norwegian folk singing, dancing, cheese making and baking. Mjonøy is also used by other organizations for courses and seminars. Mjonøy is well-suited for this as we have both meeting room, kitchen and accommodations.

Exhibition
The art-exhibition at Mjonøy lasts all summer long.
