Soak up the tranquil seafront ambience at this unique, well-hidden guesthouse. The turn-off is about 11km northeast of Húsavík; you then travel 2.5km through farmland (leave gates as you found them) to reach the handcrafted, waterfront, view-enriched outpost. There's no kitchen, but there's a cafe (open to all) serving delicious dinner. There's a two-night minimum stay – linger and enjoy.
