Off the beaten track but close to everywhere

The location of our three self catering holiday homes in the South of Iceland is away from the main road in a peaceful and very scenic location yet at the same time central to the sights in the South. Ideal for day trips to the Golden Circle, the Blue Lagoon as well as the South coast: Seljalandsfoss, the Black Beach and Solheimar-glacier. In summertime Landmannalaugar and Þjórsárdalur awaits. The Diamond Beach is a long day trip but on a good day a very scenic drive and worth it. A guest folder with more info awaits you in your holiday home. 

Or simply slow down and relax in and around your cabin.

The houses Bjalli and Nordurnes are located on our farm Skinnhúfa, each in their own private location. The cabin Sel has its own plot of land nearer to the Lake Gislholt. Find us on google maps under "Skinnhufa Holiday Cottages", or "Sel 851".

We also welcome writers and other guests for longer stays.
