The perfect place for Icelandic souvenirs made by Iocal artists using materials here in Iceland! We got a wool poncho and goat soap - support the art community!
The perfect shop not even just for a sit and coffee, but even for handmade clothes and decorations or handpicked teas and spices. Also sells chocolate and bars, all of that for very friendly prices! The interior is absolutely stunning, looks and smells vintage and aesthetic. We enjoyed our stay, sipped originally flavourful coffee outside looking at sea
Hard to find - it's not the yellow building as Google would have you believe. It's at the top of the hill across the street. Unfortunately wasn't able to go in at 11am because it was locked. Google says it opens at 10 - maybe has different hours during the winter?
Neat shop with a variety of different things available for sale, including locally made and foraged items. We bought some farm-made ice cream, which was excellent!
I can only submit the outside as it was closed when I went there. Looks fascinating. Access is fine from the top end - what I would call the church end. Fairly easy slope but narrow. If you're in a chair, check access, it may not be wide enough. To get into the house itself is up a few steps so be aware. Gardens running down the slope involve steps and quite a few, again be aware. Waterfall at the bottom is lovely. You can approach this from the lower road.
