About Us
Eirð
Eirð is an exclusive water front retreat on Iceland's south coast. This vacation rental is uniquely located on a peninsula by lake Gislholtsvatn and provides extra privacy with connection to nature and an opportunity to practice mindfulness.
Eirð consists of one main building and three spacious guest houses, mixing together an old scandinavian lodge style with modern scandinavian architecture.
The main building boasts three bedrooms, two bathrooms with a shower, a large kitchen, a library with a wood burning stove, a dining area with a direct south facing lake view, a fireplace nook off the dining area and a hot tub.
Each of the guest houses has two single beds (or one double), a bathroom with shower, extra sleeping space upstairs and a work station. A coffee maker and speakers are found in each of our guesthouses.
In total Eirð currently has 6 bedrooms and is therefore well suited for up to 12 people. Extra beds can be arranged for another 3 people, but 15 really is the maximum number of guests we currently accept.

Eirð itself offers kayak (to use directly on Gislholtsvatn lake) and mountain bike (for bike tours in the immediate vicinity) special request.
