Company info

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 info

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.
