    Oskar is an extraordinary host, we felt like home. The place is simple, but it is comfortable, clean and well equipped. The road to access the guesthouse is a little rough, but it is part of the journey.

Syðri-Þverá is our summerhouse. My aim is to keep the old and charming atmosphere and in order to do so, I´ve mixed antique/retro furnitures with new things. Syðri-Þverá farm is really well located at Vatnsnes peninsula road 711. It is in 13 km. distance from the famous rock Hvítserkur. The house is big and cozy and specially suites smaller groups or people that are traveling together. You will have access to a kitchen, 2 bathrooms and a shared living room. The house was built in 1964 and has a long history. It was used as a gathering place for the people in this area for many decades. It was the place where people held meetings, met to play with cards or celebrate and dance and many other social events. It was also where the local phone station was located for many years. The farm has been in the same family for over hundred years and are important place for us. Our old house has a great and very special history.
We are a couple who live on a farm in the North-Western part of Iceland. We want to live in a good contact with the nature and think it is a privilege to live in such a beautiful place in Iceland, away from all noises and traffic. We enjoy traveling in Iceland and abroad as well. We do all kind of different art work...play and make our own music, write poems, knit and design sweaters called THIA from the Icelandic sheep wool and make art things from for example animal skulls and bones which is named - Natural Bones Design.
Syðri-Þverá farm is really well located near the seal colonies on the Vatnsnes peninsula, it is in 13 km. distance from the famous rock Hvítserkur and you have beautiful mountain view from the bedroom window. The nature nearby is really beautiful and special and you can go to many nature pearls like Borgarvirki and Kolugljúfur that are near our farm. In ca. 30 km distance is Hvammstangi- a small town where you can go to the seal museum and there are good restaurant and grocery shop among other small shops, art galleries and gas station.
