Loved by guests
"After a freezing trip under the Seljalandsfoss waterfall's spray, I felt my extremities again in their clean sauna and further rejuvenated in the pool looking directly out into the landscape."
"We enjoyed hiking the property to a hidden waterfall and riding the Icelandic horses through the hillside."
"The option to go horse riding on the property is a great addition and so much fun."
