This beautiful property has a goat farm! The goats are very friendly and we even got a tour of their facilities. The apartment was clean with a nice fridge, stove, very comfortable bed. It was calm and peaceful and convenient to the Golden Circle. And it was very economical!

My wife and I loved staying at Skálatjörn for our first 3 nights in Iceland! Helena is an excellent host, and we loved how quiet the property was. Plus, they have goats, a cat, and a dog!

Country oasis
Beautiful large apartment with three bedrooms, bath, kitchen and dining/sitting area. Plenty of room for 5 people. Absolutely loved the location out in the countryside with great views. The host and hostess were incredibly friendly and helpful. There were goats on the property and tours were given each night at 6. Something special you would not get elsewhere that enhanced our experience in Iceland. Highly recommend.

Helena and Stephan were very accommodating and have a wonderful guesthouse on a sprawling property close to Selfoss. We shopped for breakfast groceries before checking in because the kitchenette had everything needed. Very clean and comfortable beds. One of the highlights was the goat farm tour where we met the extended family, including Max.

Our host Helga was very nice. We had a large 3 bedroom apartment attached to the barn. When we first walked in we were worried that we would continually smell the goats but that did not happen. We made it in time to go on the goat tour. It was wonderful. The apartment had all the facilities needed for our stay - refrigerator, cooktop, coffee maker...
