A secluded guest-house in a fantastic location with 4 twin/double rooms, each with it's own bathroom and shower, and a private exit to a terrace. A large fully equipped kitchen and lounge are shared. Fantastic lake and mountain views can be enjoyed from the terrace.
We are a family co-op offering accommodation in this quiet and peaceful area right next to all of Mývatn's main tourist attractions. A family member is always on-site to receive guests, provide services, and to advise on activities in the surrounding area.
Situated in a lava-field right next to Dimmuborgir, Hverfjall, Lake Mývatn, Grjótagjá, Höfði, and many other landmark sites. Close by are the natural phenomenons of Námaskarð, Geothermal Baths, Krafla, and many others. Detailed information on local services and activities are available on-site.
