About this house rental
Modern Golden Circle guesthouse with a private hot tub on a working Icelandic horse farm.
Experience the magic of Iceland at Giljabakki Guesthouse #2, a modern, cosy two-bedroom guesthouse on our family's Icelandic horse farm near Borg í Grímsnesi, right on the Golden Circle.
THE SPACE
You'll have the entire guesthouse to yourselves. It has two comfortable bedrooms (one queen bed, one 140 cm double bed), each with its own TV and a small desk. The bright living and dining area has a 60" TV, and the fully equipped kitchen lets you cook your own meals. The stylish bathroom has a walk-in rain shower. Radiant underfloor heating and solid oak floors keep everything warm and cosy year-round.
OUTDOORS
Step onto the private timber deck and slip into your own hot tub. It looks out over open countryside and the mountains. On clear nights from autumn to spring, the Northern Lights may dance overhead. By day, our Icelandic horses often graze right by the house. You can watch them from the window with a coffee in hand, or from the hot tub.
LOCATION
Giljabakki is in quiet countryside on the Golden Circle route, with almost no light pollution. Approximate driving times:
- Kerið crater: about 10 min
- Selfoss (shops and restaurants): about 20 min
- Laugarvatn Fontana geothermal baths: about 25-30 min
- Þingvellir National Park: about 35-40 min
- Secret Lagoon (Flúðir): about 35 min
- Geysir / Strokkur: about 40-45 min
- Gullfoss: about 50-55 min
- Reykjavík: about 45-60 min
- Keflavík Airport: about 1 h 30 min
GOOD TO KNOW
- A car is recommended; the house is in a rural area.
- Free parking is right by the house. Self check-in uses a key box on the fence to the left as you walk up.
- The tap water comes from a natural spring and is safe to drink.
- Mobile signal can vary, but Wi-Fi is provided.
- There may be occasional farm activity nearby, which is part of the countryside charm.
