Your stay is coming up!

Cabin manual

Dear Guest,

We are very much looking forward to hosting you. In order to make your stay comfortable and relaxing, we have gathered a bit of information for you. We would highly appreciate if you familiarise yourself, and your guests, with the basics of the cabin.

We’ve taken steps to ensure a relaxing and comfortable stay and we invite you to take full advantage of our amenities. In return we ask you to treat the cabin as if it was your own and take care of it to the best of your ability.

Should something go wrong, be missing, or should you have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us with an e-mail at info@minniborgircabins.com or with a message at SMS/WhatsApp to +354 615 4848. We will try to respond promptly during normal waking hours.

We hope you have a pleasant stay at our cabin.

In case of an emergency the emergency services number is 112.

During your stay

As you will see, the cabin is equipped with all the necessary things for a nice and relaxing stay.

The beds have been freshly made for you and we’ve supplied towels. For the sake of the environment we kindly ask you to reuse your towels.

If you have any issues during your stay, please contact us immediately – we can often deal with the simplest issues over a text message og with a little phone call.

Safety and Security

In addition to exiting the cabin via the main door or the patio door, you are also able to exit every room via its window, also the window at the sleeping loft.

Please familiarise yourself with these exits upon your arrival.

Fire fighting equipment is available throughout the cabin:

  • A fire extinguisher is located next to the main entrance under the stairs to the sleeping loft.
  • A fire blanket is located in the kitchen.
  • A first aid kit is located in the kitchen.

Please Do Not Move Furniture!

For your convenience, we’ve arranged the space to ensure comfort and functionality. 

We kindly ask that you do not move the furniture during your stay. Moving furniture can damage the floor, delay cleaning and maintenance, and affect the overall layout of the cabin.

Internet

There is one WiFi network working at two speeds. The network identifiers  are “Cabin 5” or “Cabin 6” and “Cabin 5_ 5G” or “Cabin 6_5G” depending on in which cabin you are staying.

The password in all cases is abcabc2345 .

There is unlimited data included and speeds should be sufficient for 4K quality streaming on several devices at the same time.

The cabin is equipped with a floor heating system. Each room has its own thermostat and temperature selector. We leave the cabin with the selector set to 20°C (about 68°F) and recommend you leave it there.

If the cabin feels cold, avoid setting the thermostat higher — this won’t heat the cabin any faster, it will just overheat it once it catches up. There is no air conditioning in the cabin, so if it feels too hot, turning the thermostat down won’t cool it either. Instead, open a couple of windows or use the fans we’ve supplied. The simplest way to cool the cabin quickly is to open two windows on opposite sides and get a cross-draft going.

It’s also important to ventilate the cabin properly during your stay — open windows in rooms you’re using. If you see condensation forming on the inside of a window, that room needs air right away, so please open a window immediately.

The BBQ

The BBQ should be ready to use up on your arrival.

Please clean the BBQ after every use.

The BBQ uses propane. If needed, we have additional propane for the BBQ. Do not replace the propane until the flame goes out. Please notify us if you replace the tank yourself as we will need to replenish the stock.

Do not use char coal in the BBQ.

During extremely cold weather, the BBQ might become unusable. 

The hot tub

Our hot tub will be ready for use upon your arrival.

Hot Tub Rules

To ensure everyone’s safety and comfort, please follow these guidelines when using the hot tub:

  • Children must always be supervised. Never leave children unattended in or near the hot tub.
  • Please take a thorough shower before using the hot tub. This is essential for hygiene and helps maintain the quality of the water. Be sure to remove any makeup, hair products, or lotions before entering.
  • No food or drinks are allowed in the hot tub.
  • Alcoholic beverages are strictly prohibited. Hot tubs intensify the effects of alcohol and can pose serious health risks.
  • No glassware in or around the hot tub—broken glass can be extremely hazardous.
  • Limit soak time to 15–20 minutes at a time to avoid overheating or dehydration.
  • Do not use the hot tub alone, especially at night or if you’re feeling unwell.
  • Pregnant individuals or those with health conditions (e.g., heart issues or high blood pressure) should consult a doctor before using the hot tub.
  • Please replace the cover after use to retain heat and keep the water clean.
  • Do NOT empty the hot tub at any time during your stay without consulting us.

The hot tub controls

The controls for the hot tub are located in the shower room, directly opposite the hot tub. This room can be unlocked with the same key that opens the other cabin doors.

A green dot means the hot tub system is operating. A red dot means that the system has stopped.

[Stopp] is to stop hot water to enter the hot tub, the hot tub has emptied or will empty now.

[Start] is to close the bottom valve and fill the hot tub. The process is fully automatic. The hot tub will fill with water and adjust the tempreture to [óskhiti].

[Potthiti] is the hot tub’s current temperature.

[Köld innspýting] gives 30 seconds of cold water. Useful if you want to cool the tub faster.

[Óskhiti] is the requested temperature. Use the up and down arrow buttons to increase or decrease the requested temperature.

Note: Never Stop the hot tub without consulting with management first, as it will empty hot tub.

Washing machine / Dryer

This is a combined washing machine and dryer.

The machine is located in the outdoor shower room – access is via the door opposite the hot tub. The same key that unlocks the main door also unlocks this one.

  • Detergent is added automatically from the built-in dispenser – no need to add extra detergent to the drum.
  • Please don’t wash shoes in this machine.
  • If you’d like your laundry dried as well as washed, remember to select a drying cycle before starting.
  • If you open the detergent drawer, please make sure to close it fully afterward.
  • When you’re done, leave the door open afterward so the drum can air out.
  • If the door won’t open, please don’t force it – it may still be locked as part of the cycle.

Get in touch with us if you need help.

Cleaning

Please try to leave the cabin as you came to it, clean and tidy.

Normal cleaning is included in your nightly fee – additional cleaning cost should be settled before your departure.
