Stora-Mork Guesthouse is a peaceful countryside accommodation in South Iceland, ideal for travelers looking to stay close to nature and major attractions. With comfortable rooms, welcoming hosts, and views of the surrounding farm and mountains, it offers a relaxing base for exploring the highlights of the South Coast.
Location & Nearby Attractions
Stora-Mork Guesthouse is located in South Iceland’s countryside, a 25-minute drive east of Hvolsvollur town. As the nearest major hub for guests staying at the guesthouse, Hvolsvollur offers essential services such as restaurants, supermarkets, and gas stations.
For those seeking adventure, the stunning Nauthusagil Canyon is 2.8 miles (4.5 kilometers) from Stora-Mork. Its picturesque hiking trails, stream crossings, and moss-covered cliffs make it a rewarding spot for those looking to explore off the beaten path.
Another popular site nearby is the DC-3 Plane Wreck on Solheimasandur Plains. The walk to the abandoned aircraft takes about 45 minutes one way, with shuttle options also available for quicker access. The wreck has become one of Iceland’s most photographed landmarks, offering a unique contrast against the surrounding volcanic sand.
Just 5 miles (8 kilometers) from the guesthouse are two must-see waterfalls, Gljufrabui and Seljalandsfoss.
Gljufrabui is partially hidden behind a rock face, making it a lesser-known but memorable experience. Right next to it is Seljalandsfoss, famous for its walk-behind trail that provides a one-of-a-kind view of the cascading water at 197 feet (60 meters).
Guests are also within easy reach of the broader South Coast highlights, including the Skogafoss Waterfall, the Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, and Solheimajokull Glacier for guided glacier hikes. With its location near Route 1, the guesthouse makes it easy to explore these sights in either direction while enjoying the quiet beauty of rural Iceland.
