Use of the wellness area:


Our guests are free to use the sauna, but donations for the firewood that is on site (a donation jar is in the sauna) is appreciated.

For reference: 40L bag of firewood costs ISK 4,500 and is enough for about two times in the sauna.

Guests are welcome to purchase firewood from a local store if they choose. It takes about 40/50 minutes to heat up,

slightly longer in very cold conditions.

The hot tub is ready to use except in special cases, when cleaning or repairing, e.g.

Please make sure the red handle on the outdoor shower is turned back down after use.
