"Staff extremely welcoming. Room size, privacy/quiet/blackout curtains excellent. Beds very comfortable, linens cozy. Hot pot and sauna wonderful. Horses, chickens, and dogs were nice! The kitchen was clean and easy to use. Dining/common area clean and welcoming. Complimentary breakfast offered was delicious, thank you! Also appreciated the offer of wine/beer at check-in desk.
*Karuna Guesthouse is a 10-15 minute drive either direction to a town with gas/grocery (vinbudin/tire repair--rite of passage for an Icelandic rental car experience--in Saudarkrokur).
*Drangey Island tours for local lore and puffins! We spent an entire day learning about Grettir the strong (and his laug), the puffins, and the auks after a rather thrilling hike to the top of nearby Drangey Island
*Close by to other local points of interest- look for the clover signs! Hiking available fir those prepared for it.
*Easy drive to Akureyri and back for zipline/swimming pool/museum/Forest Lagoon, but with a much more peaceful rest at the end of the day.
*Trollaskagi peninsula drive beautiful and accessible.
*Horses and touring motorcycle heaven!
*Solitude...common snipe calls and mating wing song... unbelievable setting for viewing solstice midnight sun while having charcuterie on the patio"
