    We had the house to ourselves! Which was absolutely unexpected but welcomed. The lobby was really cosy and the kitchen perfectly equipped. We love animals , so we felt very good on a farm. The host was really helpful! Booking app didn't send me...

    The sauna and the hot tub were a pleasure, dining hall made us feel like a kings :D, also no light polution so we were able to see the aurora at it's best, no sound polution as well, the hostel is far enough from the main road, so there is nothing...

    The room was very clean, comfortable and decorated with lovely details. The common dining area is very nice with windows to the fields. The location is pretty and has nice views towards the sea.

Company information

Linda and Páll live with their children, dogs, hens, and horses at Litla-Gröf. We relocated to the country to find peace and quiet, and we want to share that experience with others. Karuna Guesthouse was formed in 2018 and launched in July of that year. The way nature plays with the soul and makes one feel happy has a unique magic to it. We aim to make a relaxed atmosphere.

Property information

Karuna Guesthouse is a family-run guesthouse located on Highway 75 between Varmahlid (11 km) and Saudárkrókur (14 km). Gulluhús is a cozy property with 5 bedrooms and 2 shared bathrooms. The restrooms are on the ground floor and the rooms are on the second floor of the house. There is a lounge and five larger rooms in the old farmhouse next to Gulluhús, each with a private bathroom, private entrance, and tea/coffee making facilities. All of the rooms feature flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. The fully equipped kitchen, dining room, and hot tub are the common areas. We do not have employees on-site, nonetheless, assist is always available if needed. We have stunning views, grazing horses, loving dogs, and free-range hens.

Neighbourhood information

There is a fantastic swimming pool in Varmahl, as well as a nice outdoor recreation area where you may explore. There's also a store, gas station, and restaurant. There is a grocery store, a swimming pool, beauty salons, workshops, and more in Sauárkrókur. A golf course and the Tindastól ski area are located just outside Sauárkrókur. It takes a little over 30 minutes to drive from Karuna to Hólar Hjaltadal, and just over 40 minutes to go to Hofsós, which has a lovely swimming pool, an Emigration Center, and beautiful landscapes. There are several horse rentals in Skagafjörur that offer short or longer rides. Skagafjörur also has a number of hiking paths, which are easy to learn about at the Tourist Information Center.
