I loved my stay at the Garage. The host provided very helpful information about their property, specifically about their location, access to markets, and nearby restaurants. The property is located in front of a lake with waterfalls located right behind. They also have food available for you to to cook in your room, in case you are missing some ingredients. The accomodation itself was spacious and clean. It truly was a magical experience being able to enjoy the natural beauty of Iceland.

This was the best place we stayed in all of Iceland! The property is absolutely beautiful! We spent every morning on the patio drinking our coffee and watching the horses. The common area was stocked with games and books and a fresh baked treat every day we were there. The room was huge and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and the property was nice and quiet. This guesthouse was an incredible value. I very highly recommend.

This was hands-down, our favorite property. The waterfalls behind the property were gorgeous the dogs were super friendly, and then the comfort of the property felt like home. They had fresh cookies and lettuce for salad when we arrived and the little kitchen area where we could use products and was amazing. So relaxing. Would definitely book again.

What a wonderful place to stay. You have in the background a cliff or rock with three waterfalls and you look out to the ocean ! We took advantage of the outdoor hot tub with the views. The room had three beds and a kitchenette. Very clean room. We were able to make some food and take advantage of the free lettuce from the garden and cakes made by the owner. There are also two lovely dogs always around on site. We definitely recommend.

PERFECT IN EVERY WAY

PERFECT IN EVERY WAY!!! This was a very large apartment with a huge shower. So great when many of the showers in Iceland are small. The kitchen was farm house style and had everything you needed. The beds were cozy and comfortable. The view was amazing. We had a patio with views of the ocean and a waterfall. There was also a hot tub on the property. The owner made checkin easy. We got to park our car right next to our unit. She even left us a sweet note with some cake.
