15 m² timber cabins with an equipped kitchen, a private bathroom and a picture window facing the fields, 3 km from the village and right on Route 1, between the Fjaðrárgljúfur canyon and the glaciers of Skaftafell. Own restaurant, breakfast and free parking at the door.

Landbrot Guesthouse is a small property in Tunga, in the rural district of Landbrot, 3 km from the centre of Kirkjubæjarklaustur and 260 km from Reykjavík along Route 1. These aren’t rooms in a big building: they’re timber cabins in a row, each with its own entrance, an equipped kitchen, a private bathroom and a large window facing the fields. Keys are collected at Hótel Laki, on the same site, where the restaurant is too.
Guests who have stayed rate it 8.9 “Fabulous” from 1,479 reviews: staff 9.4, cleanliness 9.3 and comfort 9.2. It’s the ideal base for the south coast: the Fjaðrárgljúfur canyon is 10 km away, Skaftafell 70 km and the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon 124 km. The double for two people starts at around €180 a night in winter.

The 100-metre-deep canyon covered in moss, 10 minutes by car. You follow a path along the rim.
The gateway to Vatnajökull National Park: walks on the glacier, the Svartifoss waterfall and the ice tongues.
The glacier lagoon with its icebergs and the black beach where they run aground. About two hours each way.
The 1783 lava field carpeted in moss, right by the road; the craters, along an F-road, in summer only and with a 4x4.
Average maximum temperature and the lowest price per night (double cabin for two, one night, checked on 17 September 2026).
Among the months with a rate loaded, summer is the most expensive: from June to August the double is around €320-355 a night, and May already climbs to about €310. From November to April it drops to around €180-200. In September, October and August there were very few nights left for two when we checked: the single, for one person, often has space when the double doesn’t. For the most accurate figure, click here to see the up-to-date price right now.
A month marked «·» means that, on the weekdays we checked, no night was available for two or there was no rate yet: the property is small and fills up. It doesn’t mean it’s closed; check your dates anyway.
June and July are the Icelandic summer: almost 20 hours of daylight, the F-roads open and the highest rates; August and September sell out months in advance. From November to March the days are short, it snows and it’s northern lights season; storms can close Route 1 on the Skeiðarársandur sands, so it’s worth checking road conditions.
All with the same booking.
Essential: the property is on Route 1 and there’s no public transport worth relying on.

The cabin was really well equipped, with everything you need to cook, even an oven. The setting was incredible and the staff were very welcoming.
The room has everything you need for a short stay. The bed is very comfortable. It delivers everything the listing says, and communication was very good.
Impeccable. Everything.
Highly recommended, and I’d go back: cleanliness, comfort, practical and cosy. You could hear the neighbours a little, but nothing that bothered us.
Tiny but incredible.
A big picture window facing the bed, heated bathroom floor.
We’d rather tell you now than have you find out when you arrive. Everything here comes from real reviews and the property’s house rules.
15 m² with the kitchen and bathroom inside: “a bit small”, “tiny but incredible”. Space for suitcases is tight.

Reception isn’t at the cabins: keys are collected at Hótel Laki, on the same site, where the restaurant is.
