Ferðaþjónustan Mjóeyri

Top choice in East Iceland


On the eastern edge of town, this view-blessed complex juts into the waterway at the tip of a teeny peninsula. There are guesthouse rooms in the main building, but it's the excellent, family-sized cottages spread around the property that make Mjóeyri a great choice. There are also camper amenities, and one of the funkiest hot-pots we’ve seen (in a converted boat).

Knowledgeable owners offer guiding and tours: hiking, skiing, hunting, fishing etc. The cottage price doesn’t include linen (available for 1800kr per person); the largest cottages sleep seven. Sleeping-bag accommodation in the guesthouse costs 8100kr. Breakfast is available (2100kr).
