Welcome to our new cabins, where you sleep next to your horse!
The houses are 40 square meters studio apartments with kitchen facilities and sleep up to 4 persons.
The cabins are placed right on the farm with a volcano view on one side and your horse in the back.
As you step onto the property, you are greeted by the soothing sounds of horses trotting and the earthy scent of hay. Wide-open pastures paint a picturesque scene, with vibrant green grass stretching out as far as the eye can see. Majestic horses roam freely, their strong, muscular bodies glistening in the sunlight.
Hi, I am Hörður, born and raised in Iceland. I have been around horses most of my life and practiced yoga for the last 20 years. I work full-time with horses on my two farms. One farm is located close to Reykjavík and the other is located on the South shore of Iceland. Both farms are working farms. When you come for a visit you will experience an authentic Icelandic farm and be treated as my personal guest when joining my tours. Feel free to get in touch for more inquiries about available tours.
The farm is centrally located for travelers on the South Coast of Iceland. The farm stands isolated, surrounded by our horses but only 8 kilometers away from the ring road.
