Borgarbrekka - In the Land of your Dreams

The "Lón" area (Lón means lagoon) is nothing but vast, incredible landscape and nature, from the black sandy shore to incredibly colourful mountains, all within long distances. Exploring this area takes you on a roller coaster of feelings.
The location in the South East of Iceland, just 35 km east of town Hofn, is simply optimal for travellers on the Ring Road (Rd 1), offering all these Places of Interest close by and up to an easy day's reach from Lodge Borgarbrekka. Also, this location is ideal as a first stop when foreign visitors come by the ferry "Norröna" from Europe to the port of Seydisfjordur.
For 6 people you have a lot of space, and if all five bedrooms are set, the 3 double- or twin beds, and the two smaller double beds, Borgarbrekka can accommodate 10 people. Please notice, if booked for more than 6 guests a surcharge pr. person, will apply.
Are you heading North, West, South or South West? We also run the quality cottages "Hamragil" by the town Akureyri up North (Booking Number 3925011), "Tvera" at the south coast of the Westfjords (4084081), "Stekkar" south of the great sights Geysir and Gullfoss (2903253) and Brekka right at the bay Hvalfjörður just north of Reykjavik (9257064).

Amazing stay at a spectacular Borgarbrekka
Beautiful big house in the middle of nowhere. Enjoyed the peace and quiet. Spectacular nature all around. Trees at the property provided a nice break from the wind and we even saw an aurora borealis one night. Quite a few stunning locations just 15-20 minutes drive from the property. One is waterfalls with glacier fed water and the other black sand beach. The owner gave us some really good tips in advance of the trip. If we visit Iceland again for longer and attempt driving the entire Ring Road would be looking forward to book his properties (if they are available for our travel dates). Cheers! :) Dmitri, Diana and company.

Beautiful Home with lots of Space
Our family truly enjoyed this home. Our older children really loved having their own bedroom. We really liked the outside space that went along with this property. It was a wonderful home away from home.

Enjoyed our stay
We enjoyed the farmhouse. Location is a little out there but very peaceful. Driving through the mountain tunnel to reach it was exciting. Note, the hot water was limited so our family of 5 needed to be mindful of that.

Icelandic tranquility
Great cabin as advertised. Spacious, which was nice after small places we had stayed. Everything worked great. Good hiking in the area and some black beaches. Good access to the east fjords as well. Very relaxing.

Family Iceland Trip
We had a wonderful stay with our 3 children (16, 18 and 21) at this home. Everything was perfect, plenty of room and privacy for all. We loved the daily visits from the local sheep! Great communication from the host.

Quiet place off the beaten path
We had a great time in the cabin. It easily accommodated 4 adults and 1 child but has space for additional people. We enjoyed the nice kitchen space with a table to seat all of us easily. The house is comfortable, bright, away from the road. The sheep come by on occasion too. Would stay here again. Jon communicated very well and responded quickly.

Great communication when we had trouble getting there
The main roads to the property were closed due to weather and when we reached out to the host they answered immediately. Great response time. Overall location was good. The dryer was broken when we arrived so we were unable to do laundry which was really a bummer. The toilets had staining in them and some of the kitchen dishes and cookware weren’t clean when we arrived. Overall it was a nice stay though.

Amazingly beautiful place
This was our first visit to Iceland and we were travelling with another family so a total of 8 people with teenage kids. Jon, our host was very responsive. Since we arrived at the property very late at night around 11pm, it was a little confusing to find the place. But Jon gave us really good instructions that helped a lot. Also the place was exactly as pictured. We had a wonderful stay at the property. Check in and check out was a breeze. We would definitely use this place whenever we visit Iceland again.

Secluded lovely house
The house was very nice, clean and cozy. The property is beautiful with sheep and open views. It’s a bit far from the nearest town so you have to come prepared. My only issue was with the lack of some basic kitchen equipment.

Lovely place!
Borgarbrekka Lodge is a wonderful place to stay, perfect for venturing towards the East fjords, but equally not far from Hofn and even Diamond Beach. The property is spacious and very comfortable, and the owner extremely helpful. Highly recommended!

Wir hatten uns das Haus aufgrund der Bilder größer und etwas moderner vorgestellt. Insbesondere das Badezimmer im Erdgeschoss war schon sehr klein. Wir haben aber trotzdem eine gute Zeit dort verbracht.
