Nice farm stay short distance from Selfoss. Staff were wonderful. Wished we had a fridge in our room! The common eating area was great. Didn’t mind shared bathrooms. Were clean the entire time we were there.

More of a hostel than a hotel. Breakfast is 1 slice of toast and coffee for a donation so be prepared for that. Dogs on property are super nice!

Veronica at the front desk was very helpful. There was an issue with the room due to heat and they immediately rectified it. Amazing water pressure in the shower. It was as strong as a power washer (in a good way). Dogs were a nice touch.

Repurposed farm with multiple options for your stay, including onsite dining. We booked a larger quad room with private bath for our group of 3. The hot tubs were a perfect way to relax after a day of travelling

Some repairs are needed such as doors difficult to shut and bed frame squeaky though otherwise beautiful peaceful place, cute friendly staff including the fluffy dogs, had a nice stroll down a horse path which was lovely, the shower was nice and hot and the kitchen and fridge were nice. The hot pool area is clean and pleasant. I hear they continue to remodel a few rooms at a time so I expect this will only keep improving.
