Pictures here need updating. Farm Stays since 1984; they've got it right. Rooms in the new building are small but efficient.......they reminded me of stables for size and shape: beds and showers great, no complaints. Lovely small bar and great food for evening meal. Warm and friendly staff.
A view up-mauka.

Our family of 5 had a large and comfortable upstairs room at the guest house. It had a nice view of the countryside off of a small balcony. It slept 5 comfortably. The staff were pleasant and the breakfast was included and had a small variety of options that was a good size for the number of guests. The goats next door on the farm were very cute. Thank you for a lovely stay!

We had a relaxing and pleasant stay here. The rooms were comfortable and of decent size to place our luggage. I like the spacious and cosy sitting area with kitchenette. Breakfast was good and the breakfast area was nice. We took a little walk around the area and it is so peaceful. We would be happy to stay here a few days if visiting the area longer in future.

This was a great stay. This property was about 10 miles from the black sand beach and a few more miles from Vik. It is located at the base of a big mountain/glacier and is just about a mile off the main highway. The main building was very nice and the check-in process was quick and easy. The staff was very nice. Our room was for four people and had a private bathroom and shower. Most of the other rooms had shared bathrooms. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. The breakfast was buffet-style and was very good with a variety of sliced meats, cheeses, yogurt, cereal, breads, coffee, and tea. The property was very quiet and had 5 cute goats near the guest building.
