Quaint place, part of the building where the goats stay for winter. The goat tour was excellent. Quiet place. My kids enjoyed it, each had their own rooms. Kitchen was all the necessary amenities: we made breakfast and hot dogs for dinner.

The room was very clean and comfortable with a well-equipped kitchenette. It's in a perfect location for viewing the Northern Lights when the sky is clear, if you're able to stay up late enough. Helena was very attentive and responsive and even gave us a tour of the farm, introducing us to her very friendly, adorable goats and of course the barn cat that looks after them :-)

Country oasis

Beautiful large apartment with three bedrooms, bath, kitchen and dining/sitting area. Plenty of room for 5 people. Absolutely loved the location out in the countryside with great views. The host and hostess were incredibly friendly and helpful. There were goats on the property and tours were given each night at 6. Something special you would not get elsewhere that enhanced our experience in Iceland. Highly recommend.

The property is ok, not as impressive as we want but it served the purpose. We booked the property at the last minute and need some place to stay and cook the food ourselves. The room has very thing we need, a mini electronic cooktop, pots, and pans. Though, the road to get into the property was very rough. We came from Vik and were driving on route 1 and made exit and that was when we found out that the gravel road was difficult to drive. Other than that, every was okay.

Nice apartment in Selfoss

We really enjoyed staying at the upstairs apartment. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 with king beds and the 3rd with a twin bed. Huge bathroom, but the shower is tiny. Kitchen was fully stocked, and large table for meals, etc. Not much seating area besides the table. This is a remote location, and very quiet and scenic. However it is within an hour of great tourist destinations.

Favorite Place we stayed in Iceland

The owners are wonderful and welcoming. Why stay at a hotel when you can stay at an Icelandic Goat Farm?!?! The room was very clean and it was nice to have a kitchenette. It was the only place we stayed that had an actual bed for our 10 year old son. They had a goat tour and we learned all about the farm. And the view is amazing.
