This is a fabulous place for children and a great place to relax.

Borgir were built originally in 1970 but were renovated extensively during 2004-2015. The upper floor of Borgir is 80 square meters with 3 bedrooms (master bedroom w/double bed (200x200cm), bedroom with two 90cmx200cm beds and bedroom with a bunker bed).

There is also a well-equipped kitchen on the floor, bathroom as well as living room.

Downstairs you have a bed room, with two 90cmx200cm beds,a storage room as well as a sauna and a shower area.

The sauna fits well 2-3 people. It is good to take 15-30 minutes intervals in the sauna, then go outdoor and get a good feel of the artic ocean breeze. For the courageous, a dip in the sea is fully recommended.

There are patios both on the north and the south side of the house and they are all yours.

We meet our guests at Borgir when they arrive to hand over keys and share information.

Borgir are only 190 km from Reykjavík (or around 70 km from Hólmavík, Hvammstangi and Búðardalur if you are travelling to Borgir from other direction than Reykjavík).

The hike up to Borgaborgir (the hill that Borgir are named after) is only a short distance but it gives you spectacular view over Húnaflói, Bálkastaðnes and Vatnsnes. It is also great to be there to witness the sunset and sunrise, which at certain periods of the year happen simultaneously.

We also recommend a walk on the beach for bird watching and to see the seals.
