Draflastadir Guesthouse

About

This peaceful country side guesthouse located just 5 km from Road no. 1 is an ideal hub for touring North Iceland. Completely renovated in 2014, Draflastadir offers rooms with either private or shared bathrooms which all include free Wi-Fi and on-site parking. The guesthouse is conveniently placed at the roots of Draflastadir mountain overlooking the valley providing our guests with an excellent view of the surrounding landscape. The main tourist attractions in North Iceland, i.e. whale watching in Husavik, lake Myvatn, geothermal area at Namuskard, 30 meter wide horseshoe-shaped waterfall Godafoss and the beautiful town Akureyri are all located in around 30 minutes driving distance from the guesthouse. The facilities consist of three buildings which were all renewed in 2014. The barn has now been renovated to serve as a reception and catering hall, offering breakfast and dinner options for our guests. In a separate building located just 50 meters away from the old barn are 14 rooms with private bathrooms. Finally, the third building, located 200 meters away, hosts another 8 rooms with shared bathrooms and kitchen. Hot tubs are located at both of the guesthouses which are available for use for our guests free of charge. Between the two guesthouses is our charming little country church which can be visited during your stay upon request. The local surrounding, including Draflastadafjall mountain and river Fnjoska, offer a range of hiking paths. The on-site restaurant serves traditional Icelandic dishes based on local ingredients. A buffet breakfast is available every day and is included in all room rates.
