An idyllic, secluded location away from the Ringstrasse: views of the Hekla volcano, mountains, and pastures with sheep and horses—on our Skinnhufa farm (130 hectares).
Nordurnes (ideal for 2 people) is cozy and comfortably furnished with a spacious living area and unobstructed views of the countryside. The very comfortable mattresses (2x90 cm) on the sleeping loft are accessible via a stepladder. The living area features a sleeper sofa (140 cm). The kitchenette is equipped with 2 electric hot plates, a microwave, toaster, electric kettle, and refrigerator.
Ideally located as a starting point for day trips to all attractions in southern Iceland—an information folder awaits you in the house. We’re also happy to provide advice and assistance on-site! And in winter, with a little luck, you can watch the Northern Lights right from your bedroom window!
Excursion destinations include, for example: Geysir, Gullfoss, Thingvellir, Skógar Waterfall & Museum, Vik (black sand beach) & Dyrhólaey (bird cliffs). Or take the ferry to the Westman Islands! Blue Lagoon and coastal road; Reykjavik is 80 km away. In summer: take the Highlands bus or a taxi to Landmannalaugar in the highlands to visit the hot springs.
Shops and swimming pools in Hella and Selfoss, as well as Fontana Spa and the Secret Lagoon, are easily accessible.
There’s an excellent horseback riding center 7 km from the house: riding for beginners and day trips for advanced riders; in the summer: www.herridarholl.is
Birdwatching: From May through the end of July, you can observe more than 20 species of migratory birds nesting. Feel free to explore our 130 hectares along the trails and cross-country, and say hello to our horses!
