Boasting a sauna, Mjóanes accommodation is situated in Hallormsstaður. The property has lake and garden views, and is 17 km from Hengifoss. The guest house features mountain views, a picnic area, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available throughout the property. Everything tbh - we were too tired after a hike to Studlagil. When we entered the property, met Elsa and checked in, I think the energy returned. The hot tub & sauna was a gift to my tired legs. Kitchen to room, everything was designed thoughtfully from a barn to a homestay and well equipped. Jfyi, the shower is common - but very big, spacious and clean. Hence it would not be an issue. If weather is nice and you are lucky, you may get to see some auroras too like us 😊
