The Greenhouse Rejseguide

The Greenhouse, or "Gróðurhúsið" in Icelandic, is an exciting locale in the town of Hveragerdi. It features a great food hall with different restaurants, a shopping area, and a fantastic hotel. Its location along the South Coast makes it a convenient stop when in the region, either for lunch or dinner, or it can serve as a great base for exploring the surrounding nature!

The Greenhouse food hall features multiple restaurants, a delicious ice cream parlor, a cozy café, and a stylish bar. It's the perfect place for a meal on your travels, as there are plenty of options to choose from.

There's a communal sitting area, so if you're traveling with someone who doesn't share your food cravings, you can order from different places but still enjoy your meals together! There's also a café and ice cream parlor if you want something lighter.

Afterward, check out the shopping area on the ground floor. There are products from many Icelandic brands and international designers, whether you're looking for clothes, decor, cosmetics, or a small souvenir of your trip.

Most of the building is home to the Greenhouse Hotel, which is a popular South Coast accommodation. It has fantastic amenities for guests, such as a hot tub and heated on-site pool. There is also a 24-hour desk and concierge services, and a beautiful lounge area.

The convenient location of the Greenhouse Hotel is perfect for exploring the surrounding nature as the town of Hveragerdi is known for its unique, geothermally active landscapes. Explore the Hveragerdi Geothermal Park and visit the Earthquake Exhibit at the nearby shopping center.

Hiking to the Reykjadalur hot spring valley is also a must! There, you can bathe in a naturally warm river, and it takes around an hour of hiking to reach it.

If you have a rental car, you can easily reach many of Iceland's most famous attractions within an hour's drive from Hveragerdi, such as the Raufarholshellir lava tunnel, the Seljalandsfoss waterfall, and the main locations of the Golden Circle. The town is also just a 45-minute drive from central Reykjavik!

Make sure to stop by the Greenhouse for a fun lunch or dinner on your travels, and check out the great shopping opportunities next to the food hall. If you want to base your South Coast adventure at the Greenhouse Hotel, remember to book your stay with good notice to get the best prices!
