The guesthouse is only 11-12 minutes’ drive to the famous Reynisfjara black sand beach with basalt columns (free attraction and free parking... so you can come more than once to optimize your photos!). It is also within walking distance to Sudir Vik Restaurant and zip-lining and paragliding with True Adventure...all of which were great!
The grocery store is just a few blocks away.

We did have to leave our room to use to use the two communal bathrooms on each floor, but they were always available and very clean so it was not a big deal.

A lovely modern extension to the original building was added as a large eating and gathering space. The glass walls allowed for additional lovely views. The included breakfast was delicious and had a large variety of food offerings.

The staff is amazing too! Although I did not have the pleasure of meeting her in person, Carina was extremely kind and accommodating throughout the process... as I had to book on two separate occasions because my original trip had fallen through due to a passport expiration. The housekeeper was very friendly and hard working. Finally, I’d like to give a special recognition to Darek, who kindly volunteered to make us a delicious “to go” bagged lunch when he learned we had to leave before breakfast time.

You cannot go wrong with Guesthouse Carina and you will want to secure your booking early because it is very popular!
