This property was incredible and I wish we had booked more than one night here on our trip. We would have liked having one day to just slow down and enjoy the scenery and the calm atmosphere that is The Garage. Anna had fresh baked cookies for us as we arrived and it was just the most wonderful experience. The weather was wicked windy and Anna told us that we could stay until the break in the weather so we wouldn’t have to be out driving in unsafe conditions. 10/10 recommend and if/when I come back to Iceland, I WILL be staying here and for at least two nights!

The whole atmosphere was like staying at close relative's home. The warm detail touches in the room, the welcoming brownies and cake for guests, the obvious thought put into everything for the best guest experience, etc. We wished we could have stayed many more nights.

Feels like home
This hotel is located in a beautiful location on the south coast, at the base of a waterfall AND in front of the ocean. You are greeted with baked goods and the Owner's two dogs. Such a unique little gem. It's the perfect stop between Reykjavík and Vik, and a great spot to see the Northern Lights. The rooms are very raw and basic, but the perfect vibe.

Anna and Siggi’s place was absolutely lovely! Anna was very helpful and had fresh bread in the check in area when we arrived. Our little suite was perfect for my husband, daughter and I. The beds were comfortable and the shower was great. My daughter loved the dogs and being so close to the ponies. We definitely recommend the Garage if you’re traveling to southern Iceland and want a cozy place to stay with an beautiful view of the water and mountains!

The room was very cute and comfortable. We had the Henhouse and there were chickens sleeping in their bed. Up on the hill behind the place were water falls and striking hills. This place is really one of a kind and Anna shares fresh baked cookies. Don’t pass this place up if you are looking at a place on the south ring road!

Pictures really don’t do this place justice. It was breathtakingly beautiful. Waking up in the morning to horses, the mountains & a waterfall was something I'll never forget. The room was very spacious and felt cozy. Check in was easy. Wish we could’ve stayed longer.

The Garage was my favorite accommodation. The property is beautiful with a waterfall, horses, water views, and two adorable dogs. The family that runs it are so gracious and nice. They had baked goods and drinks in the common room. Our room has a full kitchen with tea and coffee. I wish we could have stayed longer!

We got the house/ loft to ourselves ( group of 4) . Has an amazing view of the falls on the mountain side and the lake on the other! There’s a hot tub for guests to use. House was clean and complete with kitchen , microwave and washer and dryer. Two things that we forgot to tell the host were the pillows were thin , a bit more support would be nice and the upstairs door is hard to lock and needs to be slammed shut. We only stayed for 1 night and it was a good stay overall!
