Self-Catering Accommodations in Hrísey

The old farmhouse was quaint and delightful! I enjoyed the hot tub and a nice sauna as well. The farmhouse is quite well equipped with Bluetooth audio a full kitchen, kettle and coffee maker. My stay was very comfortable. I would book again 100%! I must also share that the communication from the owner Barnji was fantastic. He is an engaging fellow and I regret that I didn’t have more time to chat before my scheduled whale watch on departure day.

Amazing place. If you want to experience what it would be like to camp without actually renting a camper van, this is it! The place is located in a very peaceful area, almost mesmerizing. The camper van was very clean, the beds are comfortable, and a small heating unit is present should you get cold. There is a small fridge, and also a small stove with all necessary equipment to prepare a meal. You have a small bathroom inside the camper, so you don't have to worry about that. The shower hose is outside the camper van. There is also a tub which can be filled with hot water on request. Sitting inside the hot water and looking at the glorious mountains, while listening to the singing of birds with a glass of good drink was phenomenal. :D It is also a very quiet area, so it is like a small oasis of peacefulness, perfect to achieve mindfulness. It is also very close to Dalvík, which has a ferry going to the island Grimsey, which is a must see! There are some beer baths close by (you read that right) and regular hot baths if you want to experience more of that. Please note there is also a small farm not far away, which sells its own diary products and various jams, and oh my god, are things delicious! We bought several items and all of them were so good, especially the stinky cheese! :D the place is a half an hour away from Akureyri and about half an hour away from Olafsfjordur, which is a small town, but the view is incredible, definitely worth a visit. I mean, this place is so much more. There is also a BBQ just next to the camper van, so you can enjoy some nicely grilled meat while enjoying the spectacular view. The host was incredibly nice and flexible! If you want to stay somewhere outside of normal mortar and brick hotels, this is a place to go.

House was clean and modern. Perfect location from the ferry dock and town. We were able to walk to the grocery store and whale watching tour. Parking was next door. Washer and dryer in the house.

Every single bit of this stay was wonderful. From the drive, to our greeting from the host, to the clean, well appointed rooms, to the breakfast, to the view--all fantastic! I wish we had stayed here more than one night. The host is very friendly and involved (in a good way) and this stay was worth every penny!

Friendly host, Perfect Location, Hot Tub.

Beautiful views from a peaceful and awesome location. The host was super friendly and helpful. Easy Check in and check out through key safe. Nice authentic Icelandic home on the fjord.

What was there not to like!! The house was amazing, the views were the best we've seen. The hosts were thoughtful with leaving a bottle of Champagne for our group. The hot tub was amazing and easy to use. The hiking around the property was awesome. The sheep are not allowed in the area so they are free of poop! The fridge has a freezer!!

Beautiful serene area, very comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen and a clean, nice hot tub!!!

Easy check in. Beautiful nature and clean place. Fully equipped. Very quiet and cozy. Was a great stay.

The house was very comfortable and surrounded by woods and a view of the water. Kitchen was well stocked. We could not use the outside deck area, since it was raining.
