Let the northern lights come to you while you relax at our cozy romantic Glamping Dome. The key to catching the northern lights is to wait patiently in a cozy spot, far away from city-lights and busy highways. Our secluded and accessible paradise between Seljalandsfoss and Þórsmörk is just the right place. Explore the south coast by day and gaze at the northern lights or enjoy the midnight sun by night. Admire amazing sunsets through the transparent walls of the Dome and relax by the outdoor firepit.
Hi, my name is Stefan. I am working in the travel industry and running a restaurant called The Skyr Factory. I like to travel with my family and to do outdoor sports like golf, cross-country skiing and running. I look forward to hearing from you and if you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me. We live in Reykjavík but we have our friends to take care of things in case of an emergency. Just call us or send us a message.
There are a very little number of houses around us as it will mainly include other cabins or farms around our area. Some countryside smells and noises might be heard or felt but there is nothing but unlimited nature around us. The closest city is Hvolsvöllur which you passed on your way to the Dome, there you can go grocery shopping and enjoy some of our favorite restaurants like Midgard or Valhalla. There is another rental property in the location with which the parking space is shared as they have the same driveway. You can follow the signs saying "Dome" and go to the top of the hill behind the first property, this is where you will find the Dome.
