Places to stay in Kirkjubæjarklaustur

What a wonderful place and in the perfect location for exploring the Golden Circle. The house was plenty big for the eight adults in our group, and we were all able to spread out, but also come together for meals and games. Although we didn’t use it, the hot tub was a great amenity. Our host was wonderful and very responsive when I contacted her with a question before booking and also when I needed to turn off the security system. We would highly recommend staying here.

The cabin was thoughtfully decorated. Also, a private and peaceful place close to bigger town and outdoor attractions.

Very peaceful & private location, Loved the smooth check in & communication. Exactly what I needed for this trip. Highly recommended

We absolutely loved the location of this cute cabin! It’s only a few minutes from the town of Vik, but feels isolated with beautiful mountains and scenery around you. The cabin was very comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. Was a great place to stay while visiting surrounding areas each day.

Our family of four (2 adults, 2 teens) stayed here for a week in April, 2025. We found the log cabin the perfect home base for our trip. We loved starting our day with coffee on the deck, admiring the views and birdwatching and ending it on the deck in the hot tub with the Aurora Borealis overhead. Downtown Selfoss is about 25 mins away and there are two grocery stores and a bunch of restaurants. Check out the food hall. It’s an adorable city!

We loved our stay here, the cabin is far enough off the main road that you have real privacy, peace and quiet and more importantly…limited light pollution to spot the northern lights. Despite it’s isolation it’s not too far from the local town with Selfoss only being 15-20 minutes away, meaning it’s very convenient to go out for meals or bringing back shopping before you settle in for the night. Beautiful surroundings, really cosy and homely, perfect location should the Northern Lights show and well worth what we paid, we’ll definitely be returning here

The barn house was beautifully built and decorated with spectacular views. The skylight windows were perfect for watching for the northern lights. The kitchen had all the basics and some extras like a nespresso machine and pods. We enjoyed cooking there and using the hot tub. The washer and dryer were super helpful. It was a great launching place for the Golden Circle. Stokkseyri is a cute little town with a great local pool. The turf house across the street was fun to explore as was the beach on the other side of the turf wall. It is very near Bakkahestar for highly recommended Icelandic horse rides with a local couple on the beach in Eyrarbakki. Nearby Selfoss has anything you need including an amazing fish market Fiskbud Suderlands for great prices on fresh caught local fish. Kristinn was very responsive and we loved our stay!

La casa es espectacular, muy cómoda, limpia, amplia, con todos los servicios disponibles. La casera es muy amable y en todo momento estuvo en contacto, con recomendaciones locales. La zona es tranquila y perfecta para ver auroras boreales. El único inconveniente es que solo hay un baño para muchas personas. Pero ya se anunciaba así. Sin duda alguna si vuelvo a Islandia volvería. Recomendable 100%!
