Eyvindarholt Guesthouse

Eyvindarholt Guesthouse provides gorgeous apartments in a natural corner of the Greater Reykjavik Area, overlooking the ocean and boasting plentiful amenities.

Location & Nearby

The quaint Eyvindarholt Guesthouse is a beautiful place to stay in the town of Gardabaer on the outskirts of Reykjavik. You can find all the services you need in this area, as it has plenty of grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, and bars. Some tour operators will be able to pick you up from here for excursions such as snorkeling, rafting, glacier hiking, and lava caving.

If you want to get to the downtown area, it is just 9 miles (14 kilometers) away. Even if you aren’t driving, you can easily access it by bus, as many stops are in the area.

Those who rent a car will find it easy to access the many sites of southwest Iceland within a day. The guesthouse is closer to the landmarks of the Reykjanes Peninsula than those staying in Reykjavik’s center. The Blue Lagoon, for example, is only 28 miles (45 kilometers) away, and Keflavik International Airport is 28 miles (45 kilometers).

The Reykjanes Peninsula is a volcanic wonderland that begs to be explored. You can find stunning lakes such as Kleifarvatn, geothermal areas such as Krysuvik, and natural marvels such as the new lava at Fagradalsfjall volcano.

You’ll find it easy to drive to other famous sightseeing routes. Thingvellir National Park is part of the Golden Circle trail and is 34 miles (55 kilometers) from the hotel. From here, you’ll continue to the Geysir Geothermal Area and Gullfoss waterfall and can detour to lesser-known attractions such as the Kerid crater lake, Secret Lagoon, and Fontana Spa.

Eyvindarholt Guesthouse is located in the Gardabær area of the Reykjavík capital area. Hallgrímskirkja is about 13 km away by road, Laugavegur Street about 14 km, and Harpa about 15 km.

Seljalandsfoss waterfall is the first significant site on the South Coast route, 82 miles (132 kilometers) from the accommodation.
