I can’t say enough about how wonderful this property was. I wish we could have stayed here longer, but our journey took us to other parts of the country. The rooms are spacious, comfy, quiet, and located on the most beautiful property with a waterfall, sheep, two dogs and a cat (who gave us a warm welcome and always came around for pets!). Room had a small kitchenette. We picked up some groceries on our way to check-in and were able to save some money by making breakfast and dinner each day. Host provided some delicious baked goods each evening in the common area with books, games, and laundry for a small fee. Don’t think twice about booking this property. Worth every penny and then some!

So many great things to say! The host was exceptionally friendly. The room was fantastic with a beautiful view of the ocean with a semi-private patio. The host also had a really nice common kitchen area where freshly baked cakes were made for the sampling! The family hiked up the hill to the waterfall—and met very friendly dogs, got up and maybe too close to some small sheep families, and we did not want to leave a minute early!

This guest house far exceeded our expectations. We stayed here for our first night in Iceland and were blown away by the location and the room. We were greeted by two very sweet and smart dogs and then stepped into the check in office which smelled of cakes and cookies just laid out for guests. The host pointed out a grill that was in the shed, which made for a great dinner. After dinner, we went for a hike up the slope behind the house, to the waterfall. We were escorted very caring by one of the dogs. The view of the cliffs and the bay was spellbinding. The guest house very apologetically says that they don’t offer breakfast. This is not necessary. Their delicious cake and coffee made for a great desert and breakfast.

Idyllic!

This is the most charming place ever. The owner, Anna, responded quickly to my emails and when she checked us in she was friendly and efficient AND had baked a cake and cookies that guests were welcome to. The communal area had games, books, and random food on offer. It felt very wholesome. Our room was adorable with a small kitchen (mid size fridge, stove, microwave, toaster). We controlled the heat and were able to keep our room very warm. The 2 dogs greeted us every morning on our private porch and seemed so happy. The hotel/cabins are at the foot of a mountain/waterfall and its so beautiful people driving by stop to take pictures. Across the road is an inlet. Its a bit remote so plan to get groceries before you arrive. This was a good base for going to Westman Islands, the Lava Center, Black Sand Beach and several waterfalls. They also have an Elf village and an outdoor hot tub. We used it both nights and it was heaven. Everything is just so and lovely. I wish I could stay there again.

They communicated well prior to our arrival and were kind and helpful during our stay, even provided us a boot dryer to use which was so appreciated. I would recommend The Garage without hesitation to anyone. It's location is also a great spot to adventure from daily to enjoy all the beautiful sights of south Iceland. Don't miss out on making your vacation in Iceland a little more enjoyable by staying at the Garage.
