The cabin is nice and cozy. Unfortunately, there is no hot water, and we were quite cold at night. The price seems a bit excessive to me; we've stayed in better accommodations for a lower price. But otherwise, everything was fine. The location and nature are beautiful. The road is about 15 km on a bad road, but it’s still manageable with a Duster car, and there is no river crossing. There’s a gas stove in the kitchenette, and you have to ventilate while cooking, which isn’t very comfortable.
Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.
Immaculate, cosy, stylish welcoming lodges. Exactly as described. Very quiet area overlooking the lake- frozen this week. We chose the location in order to hopefully see the aurora- we weren’t disappointed. We were having dinner and they informed us that the lights were on! Fabulous!
The meal was lovely too- staff were great, very friendly and helpful.
Basic, no-frills bed and breakfast. We stayed 2 nights and had no issues at all. Ignore the other reviews about breakfast, they provide a decent portion. Yes, some of the food comes pre-packaged, but this is a bnb in a remote area. It’s also Iceland, so most food comes imported and packaged anyway. Bedroom was quite large and the shared bathrooms were clean. Remember to bring your own soap!
Breakfast was great, check-in was fast and simple. About the location: it´s 5 minutes from Stjórnarfoss, 50 minutes from Vík and 1 hour from Skaftafell & Svartifoss. The room is great, and the parking lot is close to the rooms/lodges.
Excellent location near Fjaðrárgljúfur, walking distance though hilly and windy a picturesque walk. Location is on a family sheep farm and accomodations are similar to summer camp lodges. Accomodations small but functional. The baked goods are delicious, the rest of breakfast and dinner were ok.
