Company information

I am a teacher and wanted to make changes in my life after my children moved away. My husband, Karl Jóhann is a neon glass blower/bender. We decided to change our big family home into a guesthouse because we felt the house was a bit empty. We have been renting our home since 2014 and really like it.

Property information

Luxorious villa with big bedrooms and private bathroom for all rooms. We focus mainly on renting the whole house to groups, families and friends but occasionally we also rent individual rooms. We are located in Reykholt, South, just 19/27 km from Geysir and Gullfoss. We offer four 130 sqf bedrooms with small private bathrooms. We have 156 sqf suite with big balcony and very spacious 140 sqf privat bathroom and a 215 sqf room with 67 sqf bathroom. Big family kitchen with all you need to make the best family dinner. It is very common that people stay at our place for 5-7 days and use it as a base camp to tour in the South. In 100 km radius are Þjórsjárdalur, Landmannalaugar, Þórsmörk, Þingvellir, Kjölur Brúarfoss, Faxi, Háifoss, Hrunalaug and many more.

Neighbourhood information

There are so many places to explore in our neighborhood. To mention some try all the waterfalls Faxi, Brúarfoss, Gullfoss, Selfoss, Brúarhlöð, Háifoss, Gjáin, Hjálparfoss, Seljalandsfoss, Gljúfrabúi and Skógafoss. Near Seljalandsfoss is Þórsmörk and the most popular hiking trail in Iceland, Fimmvörðuháls with its 22 waterfalls is really worth hiking (takes about 9 - 11 hours to hike). Stöng, a farmhouse from long before year 1100 is worth visiting. Then drive to the highlands Kjölur and Landmannalaugar or bathe in Secret Lagoon, Fontana, Reykjadalur or our famous swimming pools that are everywhere. Then you can visit Geysir, Sólheimar ecovillage, Friðheimar tomato farm a really uniq restaurant, Efsti Dalur restaurant and ice cream heaven you must try it. Mika restaurant offers really deverse menu and Minilik takes you to Ethiopia. Then you can go to Langjökull glacier on snow sled or raft down Hvítá river with Arctic rafting or go even faster with Iceland Riverjet. Last but not least you can visit Þingvellir national park and Skálholt an old bishopric for those interested in medieval Icelandic books and manuscripts.
