The Farmhouse Lodge
It is an amazing place to stay in South Iceland. When we designed the accommodations, we wanted to embrace the history of the place and the farmers who had lived here in nature through the centuries.
There are fantastic views of the Black sand beach, Eyjafjallajökull Volcano, Mýrdalsjökull and Southern lowlands to the Atlantic ocean.
One of the unique qualities of Farmhouse Lodge is its location in the country where no light or traffic pollution exists. It is within a 2-hour approximation from the most scenic attractions in south Iceland for an endless list of leisure activities and you can reach the most scenic attractions within a day from the Farmhouse, for example, it is only a two-hour drive to Glacier Lagoon and Vatnajokull National Park. It is optimal to have a base at Farmhouse and enjoy your adventurous travel during the day and enjoy quiet evenings.

Activities
Dyrhólaey, Reynisfjara
Just a few minutes’ drive from Skeiðflöt is Dyrhólaey (10 km / 6 mi), a protected promontory with sheer cliffs facing the sea and rich birdlife in the summer, one of the most popular stops when travelling through Mýrdalur. A little further east is Reynisfjara beach (16 km / 10 mi), where the ocean waves pound the inky black sand, overlooked by peculiar columnar basalt and curious caves. A little further out to sea, troll-like rock formations rise up from the deep.
Sólheimajökull, Mýrdalsjökull
Around 17 km / 11 mi from Skeiðflöt are the roots of Iceland’s longest icefall, Sólheimajökull, which carves its way through the land from Mýrdalsjökull’s ice cap. There you can see the vast beauty of the glacier while also witnessing the irrefutable evidence of climate change. Operators at Ytri-Sólheimar (10 km / 6 mi) run snowmobile tours and super jeep tours to Mýrdalsjökull. You could also join guided glacier hikes and ice-climbing tours.
Skógafoss, Seljalandsfoss, and an interesting district museum
Eyjafjallajökull, the volcano that famously erupted in 2010 and disrupted travel plans the world over, is clearly visible from Skeiðflöt. By its eastern foothills is waterfall Skógafoss, stunningly beautiful and deservedly famous (20 km / 12.5 mi). Another well-known waterfall, Seljalandsfoss, is 28 km / 17.5 mi further west, and the drive there takes you through landscapes that are unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Skógar is also home to one of Iceland’s best heritage and transportation museums, where you can get a taste of what life was like for the region’s residents in the decades leading up to and following the turn of the 20th century. The museum shows how improved transportation and telecommunications completely changed life in Iceland when the technological revolution arrived around 100 years ago.
