Glacier View Guesthouse – Hrífunes, South Coast Hotels
Cozy family-run hotel with bright modern rooms, home-cooked meals, and clear glacier views
Glacier View Guesthouse, situated in the tranquil area of Hrífunes, presents itself as a welcoming and family-operated establishment nestled in a remote setting between the majestic embrace of two glaciers. A scenic three-hour drive from Reykjavík, conveniently located just off the renowned Ring Road, this guesthouse provides unparalleled access to some of the South Coast’s most captivating and intriguing attractions.
Prepare to be mesmerized by the enchanting Stjórnarfoss waterfall, a mere 30-minute car journey away. Also within that same short distance lies Kirkjugólf, a geological wonder known as the “church floor,” characterized by its striking hexagonal basalt slabs, a testament to the raw power and artistry of nature. A slightly longer, yet equally rewarding, 50-minute drive will transport you to the world-famous Reynisfjara Beach. Here, you will be captivated by its dramatic black sands and the imposing volcanic pillars that rise from the sea, steeped in local folklore and believed to be the petrified remains of mischievous trolls.
Glacier View Guesthouse boasts ten modern and exceptionally comfortable rooms, thoughtfully designed to cater to a variety of travelers, including couples seeking a romantic getaway, families embarking on memorable adventures, and even larger groups traveling together. For families, there are two thoughtfully designed Family Room options available. One features charming bunk beds, perfect for children, while the other offers two extra twin beds, comfortably accommodating a family of four.
Each room is bathed in an abundance of natural light, thanks to the presence of several strategically placed windows. Furthermore, blackout curtains are provided to ensure restful and undisturbed sleep during the enchanting season of the midnight sun, when daylight stretches across the Icelandic landscape for nearly twenty-four hours. Guests are also invited to relax and unwind on their own private patio, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in the breathtaking panoramic landscape that surrounds the guesthouse. Each bathroom is equipped with modern showers and thoughtfully includes amenities such as convenient magnifying mirrors, enhancing the overall comfort and convenience of your stay.
Beyond the undeniably great views that Glacier View Guesthouse provides, numerous Kimkim travelers have consistently praised the exceptional hospitality of the staff and the pervasive warmth that permeates throughout the entire hotel. The main house features a cozy and inviting living room, as well as a welcoming dining room area, creating a social hub where guests can savor delicious home-cooked meals and connect with fellow travelers around a communal table, fostering a sense of community and shared experience.

Choosing the right time to visit Iceland depends on what you would like to see and do. To see the Northern Lights, visit in winter—and thus brave ultra-short days and brisk weather. If your goal is to hike, road trip, and otherwise explore outdoors, the best times are late spring and early fall. Summer months bring great weather and long days, but also attract big tourist crowds.
Where should I go in Iceland?
Iceland has much more to offer than the popular (and crowded) Golden Circle and South Coast areas. We highly recommend exploring Iceland’s remote regions such as Snaefellsnes Peninsula, the Westfjords, Lake Myvatn, and the East Fjords. See our recommended tours & itineraries to get ideas on how to plan your trip to Iceland.
How many days do I need?
You can have an epic Iceland experience when you spend at least 5 days. Shorter trips are possible but won’t give you enough time to explore beyond the Reykjavik area and the western section of the South Coast. With 8 days or more, you can complete the famous Ring Road and see sights that most tourists miss, like Godafoss Waterfall, the unique volcanic hotspots surrounding Lake Myvatn, and the Westfjords.
Getting around in Iceland
Most travelers drive themselves in Iceland during the summer season (Mid-April to November), and some opt for small group or guided tours during the winter season when weather, wind, and limited daylight can make driving more difficult. The Ring Road is Iceland's iconic multi-day road trip (typically 7-10 days), with many opportunities to extend further to more remote areas such as the highlands, the Westfjords, and northern coast.
