All our campsite and RV park guests have access to a separate service center with WC, hot showers, a big dining room, and a fully equipped kitchen. We offer free Wi-Fi connection in public areas, and there are washing machines and dryers for guests to use for a small fee. We have plenty of hot water for long and relaxing showers, but as common in Iceland, our hot water smells like sulfur as it comes straight from the ground. The smell occurs simply because of its awesome natural origins. And yes, opposite to our hot water that is not made for drinking, only for bathing, our cold water is awesome. It will be one of the best drinks you will have in Iceland, and it is for free! A good practice is though, to let the cold water run a bit from the tab so the cold and hot water won't mix! In the summertime, we offer a breakfast buffet from 7:30 – 09:30, and guests can buy coffee, tea, soda, and beer every day in our service center. We have two hot tubs on-site for guests that wish to relax, open from 17 – 22. There is nothing better than to relax in warm water under the midnight sun or the northern lights after a long & adventureful day.  Our RV park is great for guests preferring comfort in motor homes, campers, and caravans. We offer electric hook-ups in 40 pitches, motor-home toilets can be emptied at a chemical disposal point, and drinking water can be filled. The location is amazing! At Gesthús, you are within a 5-minute walking distance from the public swimming pool and a huge children's playground.
