One of the few relatively reasonably priced locations in this area, located on a sheep farm. The site was extremely beautiful. There’s a great hiking trail that connects to the property.

It’s accessible from the main road and activities around the area. The room had everything we need it for. The staff was very attentive, including Saga (the dog), who was very friendly too. The room and surrounding areas were very clean and the beds super comfortable. Lovely place

The room was clean and cozy; we were in room 13 and the view from the front porch was amazing. We had never stayed in a Guesthouse and were a little unsure what to expect, but would absolutely stay here again. It was nicely located between the Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, Hali and Hofn. We were able to do our excursions easily and see reindeer and the northern lights.
