Lovely, cozy place to stay while visiting the south coast. A convenient location between Vik and glacier tour meet points, and nearby waterfall viewing. Location is beautifully located. Staff was welcoming. Breakfast was lovely with bread, jam, porridge, fruit, etc.

Highly recommend this property

Loved staying here. The property was relatively remote so I could see the northern lights from here. Beautiful property, clean and well-cared for space, and breakfast was fresh and tasty.

Pictures here need updating. Farm Stays since 1984; they've got it right. Rooms in the new building are small but efficient.......they reminded me of stables for size and shape: beds and showers great, no complaints. Lovely small bar and great food for evening meal. Warm and friendly staff.
A view up-mauka.

Our family of 5 had a large and comfortable upstairs room at the guest house. It had a nice view of the countryside off of a small balcony. It slept 5 comfortably. The staff were pleasant and the breakfast was included and had a small variety of options that was a good size for the number of guests. The goats next door on the farm were very cute. Thank you for a lovely stay!
