Frequently asked questions

Herrankukkaro is a venue for conferences, training events and recreation, available only by order. Unfortunately we do not offer services to individual travelers or customers at this time. The minimum group size we accept for recreation and party events is ten people. You may inquire with our sales staff regarding meetings and training events for smaller groups.

Herrankukkaro’s accommodations have bedding, towels, soap, shampoo and hair dryers.

The buildings on the Herrankukkaro fisherman’s homestead are just a few steps from one another. However, the entire area is arranged in such a way that each group has its own private space.

Normally we try to reserve a private sauna for each group, or a private sauna time when possible. Small groups share the sauna and pool section with other groups of the same size.Men and women have separate washing and dressing rooms. In the saunas, tubs, and on the deck, guests wear their bathing suits – as well as in the spa. The dressing rooms have towels, swimming suits (if needed), hair dryers, and a shower area with all of the necessary types of soap.

All of the conference rooms at Herrankukkaro have a WLAN network available to every-one, so you have the convenience of the Internet in all conference rooms, as long as you have a wireless network connection on your laptop. All conference rooms also have mark-ers, pens, notepads, projector screens, flip charts and data projectors.

There is a bluetooth speakers in the dining area. You can also play music in the dining area, for example, with your mobile phone. The Rantasali room has modern audio equipment with speakers. The sound equipment is, however, primarily intended for playing background music. Karaoke, for example, would need to be discussed with our sales staff.

Do you take food allergies into consideration in your meal preparation?

All food at Herrankukkaro is prepared with low-lactose products and all other food allergies which we are informed of in advance will be accommodated in every meal.

We recommend dressing in comfortable shoes and casual apparel for Herrankukkaro. We are also prepared to receive groups coming to us directly from business lunches and ensure that they have a good time, no matter what the weather. At Herrankukkaro we can provide rain gear, warm overalls, coats, boots and other apparel, from gloves to hats.

Naturally, the village road of the old fisherman’s homestead is not like the smooth asphalt that enables easier movement, but we always strive to take the disabled into consideration. We nonetheless recommend that you discuss this in advance with our sales staff so that we can serve all participants in the best way possible.

Lodgings are available in the afternoon, so that our cleaning staff has enough time to prepare the cottage for you after the previous guests have left. Our staff will show you where you can store your luggage until you have access to your cottages.

We strive to adhere to principles of sustainable development as much as possible. Even the buildings, for example, reflect these principles, as they are all built of wood. We al-ways try to use wild or locally produced food, like Rymättylä’s renowned new potatoes. Additionally, all of the electricity we use is wind-generated. 

We want to maintain respect for the magnificent serenity in the archipelago, so we don’t allow saunas or swimming after 10 p.m. That is to say that calm on the shores of the Herrankukkaro area begins at that time. Sound travels very far on quiet waters and we don’t want to disturb others’ enjoyment of the nature and the silence. However, you can continue as late into the night as you want in the dining area that has been reserved for you.

There is a kiosk at Herrankukkaro’s “central square.” You can also buy different kinds of gifts there, such as the magnificent wooden Herrankukkaro mugs. You can also buy there the popular archipelago bread, which is homebaked on-site.

The Herrankukkaro area is fully licensed. Due to alcohol legislation, alcoholic beverages obtained outside of the area may not be brought to Herrankukkaro.

We want to guarantee a comfortable environment for people suffering from allergies, so unfortunately pets are not allowed in the area or in the buildings.
