The Lodge was originally built by Englishmen in 1884 and is the oldest lodge in Iceland. Until recently it was only for fishermen at the river, but last year it was turned into a unique guesthouse full of story and culture.

Accommodation in West Iceland
There are 10 double bedrooms in the lodge, five of them with a bathroom each. There is also a dining-room, two sitting-rooms, a kitchen, storage's, cooler and some spare rooms.

Guests and groups are able to choose service from simple sleeping bag accommodation to full service/hotel style accommodation with breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The lodge has been remodeled and reconstructed repeatedly through the years. During the reconstruction special attention was paid to the history of the house.

Tradition, coziness and the fact that the lodge is run as a small family business are the things we want out guests to notice. The fishing lodge used to be the fisherman's home and during his fishing he should feel comfortable. The same is now our goal for our guests.
