Location & Nearby

Hrifunes Guesthouse has a remote and peaceful location close to the southernmost point of Iceland. The nearest towns, Kirkjubaejarklaustur to the north and Vik to the south, are 20 and 25 miles from the guesthouse. These towns have plenty of amenities (restaurants, bars, grocery stores, and gas stations), but the area directly around the guesthouse is very quiet. This makes the guesthouse a great option for travelers searching for rest and relaxation.

The guesthouse is also well suited to guests who enjoy nature. It’s right in the heart of an area of stunning natural beauty, with lava fields and black sand plains. The friendly owners will happily give you plenty of information about the area surrounding the guesthouse.

Despite its peaceful countryside location, Hrifunes Guesthouse is only 4 miles from Route 1, so it’s still very easy to reach nearby sights. It’s within easy reach of some of the best attractions in South Iceland. The guesthouse is only a 30-minute drive from both Hjorleifshofdi cape and Fjadrargljufur canyon, where you’ll find beautiful hiking routes. There are also excellent walking routes around Skaftafell waterfall and Vatnajokull National Park, less than an hour from the accommodation. Reynisfjara beach is also just 40 minutes from Hrifunes Guesthouse.

The guesthouse offers free breakfast to guests, including homemade bread and jams. Hadda and Haukur also make a home-cooked dinner for guests who book ahead. The menu varies from day to day, but there is a focus on sustainability and seasonality. Expect fresh, local produce such as wild game, lamb, or fish. You’ll eat at a communal table with the other guests — it’s a lovely way to meet like-minded travelers.
