Sólbrekka

East Iceland


On the north side of Mjóifjörður, Sólbrekka is the only place to stay. There’s a schoolhouse near the sea, offering camping (per person 1200kr) and no-frills rooms with shared bathroom (single/double 9850/12,300kr), but the real treat lies up the hill; two self-contained pine cottages sleeping four (one bedroom plus small sleeping loft and a sofa bed).

The cottages have kitchenette, while the schoolhouse has a kitchen; BYO food supplies as the nearest store is a long way away. Breakfast is available for 1850kr and linen can be hired for 1500kr.

There’s an indoor hot-pot at the cottages (open to all for a small fee). Dinner, fishing, bike hire and sightseeing boat trips can be arranged.
