Hrifunes Guesthouse
Scroll
Set between two towns in southern Iceland, Hrifunes Guesthouse looks out on the open country of Skaftartunga, 230 km east of Reykjavik. It is a small stay. Room types range from standard rooms and doubles to apartments, some with private facilities and others with shared bathrooms. Wi-Fi runs through every room, a plain but useful fact in a region where signal can be patchy.
The on-site restaurant serves breakfast and dinner, giving guests a fixed point to return to after a day spent on the roads nearby. The surrounding landscape is the draw: the guesthouse sits within driving distance of national landmarks along the south coast, making it a practical base rather than a destination in itself. Days here tend to follow the same shape, out early into the landscape and back for dinner. The setting favours travellers moving between the coast and the interior rather than those seeking a long stay in one place.
