Accommodation

12 double/twin rooms in a renovated cowshed. In designing the rooms, the focus was put on the characteristics and colours of the cowshed where concrete floors and rugged natural materials shine alongside some soft wood. The rooms are bright and spacious with a private bathroom. Each room has a new quality bed, a table and chairs. Cribs are available free and upon request.

Service and recreation

Fljótsbakki is located on the grassy bank of Skjálfandafljót River in a peaceful environment. During your stay, you have the opportunity to get to know life on an Icelandic farm, enjoy the company of farm animals or follow them from a distance. Fljótsbakki is also a great location for spotting the Northern Lights because of the vastness of the area and lack of lights pollution. 

Northern Lights at your doorstep!

Iceland is one of the best places in the world to see the Northen Lights. On clear, crisp winter nights in Iceland, you can experience the Aurora dancing magically across the sky. Seeing the Northern Lights would be the cherry on top on top of your winter trip in Iceland. You can maximise your chances of seeing the Northern Lights by staying at a Northern Lights friendly accommodation. Being Northern Lights friendly means they offer some extra services in regards to the Northern Lights. We offer an optional wake-up call if Northern Lights are spotted in the sky. Our guests can also enjoy hot chocolate and tea while waiting for the lights.

Unique nature

Goðafoss Waterfall is a gorgeous and historic waterfall in the Skjálfandafljót Waterfall, only 3 km from Fljótsbakki. A legend connects the waterfall to the introduction of Christianity in Iceland in the year 1000. Goðafoss is one of the most famous waterfalls in Iceland and is visited by many who enjoy its beauty and the unique nature in the area. 

One of a kind experience

In Fljótsbakki you can experience absolute stillness because the farm is quite isolated from the nearby traffic.
