Lækjaborgir Guesthouse is located in Kálfafell, 26 km east of Kirkjubæjarklaustur. Free WiFi is offered throughout the property and free private parking is available on site.

Lækjaborgir Guesthouse also includes a terrace with a seating area. From the moment we stepped into the house, it was obvious that the owner had put allot of effort and love into making this place. You could tell that, by the warm decoration of the room and cosy feel, the brand new furniture, the smell of cleanliness, the well washed dishes and silverware, the well stocked kitchenette with coffee, cooking oil, salt and pepper, etc, the abundance of clean towels, the assortment of board games, and so on. This is one of those places were you wish you would get stranded because of weather or whatever, so that you have an excuse to stay there for a week and just relax and enjoy life.

Located 10 km from Seljalandsfoss, Brú Guesthouse provides accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking.

Each unit comes with a terrace offering mountain views, a satellite flat-screen TV, a dining area, a well-fitted kitchenette and a private bathroom with shower, a hairdryer and bathrobes. A fridge, a microwave and stovetop are also featured, as well as a coffee machine and a kettle. The house was so cool, just middle of nowhere but everything was equipped, like kitchenware. Just bring over food and drinks at the house will be an amazing night! The weather was cold and snowy, but we really love to see the snow! Just in front of the house with spectacular views of those mountains. Sad that we don’t have see any aurora during our stay but I believe that’s still got chance if you are in luck !!

The guest house is equipped with a flat-screen TV. The kitchen comes with a dishwasher, an oven and a toaster and there is a private bathroom with a hair dryer and free toiletries. This guest house is non-smoking and soundproof. The property is brand new, and the room was as nice and comfortable as that of a much fancier hotel. Location is also beautiful.

Set 39 km from Geysir, Minniborgir Cabins features accommodation in Minni-Borg with access to a hot tub. This property offers access to a patio, free private parking and free WiFi. The guest house has private entrance. The location and the cabin. It was amazing! But the best thing for us was the owner, who was worried about us (we spent 2 nights during a weather red alert ).
