About this villa rental
Eirð is an exclusive water front retreat on Iceland s south coast. It is uniquely located on a peninsula by lake Gislholtsvatn, providing extra privacy and connection to nature.
Eirð consists of one original building, a new larger building and three spacious guest houses, mixing together an old scandinavian lodge style with modern scandinavian architecture.
The original building features three bedrooms, a large kitchen, a library with a wood burning stove, a dining room with a direct south facing lake view, a living room off the dining area with a fireplace and two bathrooms with a shower.
The new large building features 4 bedrooms, each with its own bathroom with a shower and a kitchenette with a Nespresso coffee maker, a refrigerator and small freezer..
This new building also features a large room for yoga sessions or seminars, with small kitchenette and two bathrooms. This large room is rented out separately.
Each of our 3 guest houses has two single beds (can be turned into one double), a bathroom with a shower, and a kitchenette with a refrigerator and small freezer. A Nespresso coffee maker are found in each of our guesthouses.
In total Eirð currently has 10 bedrooms and is therefore well suited for up to 20 people.
Eirð itself offers 2 kayaks (to use directly on Gislholtsvatn lake) free of charge.
Within 30-70 minutes from Eirð you will then find major tourist attractions such as: Geysir, Gullfoss, Mount Hekla, the infamous Eyjafjallajökull volcano (modern visitor center at Hvolsvöllur), river rafting on the river Hvítá, horse back riding, Kerið crater and Þórsmörk highlands.
At Eirð you will find a more detailed guide to restaurants and tourist attractions in the vicinity. This guide can be emailed to you as a pdf upon order confirmation, to help with the planning of your trip.

We had such a wonderful stay at Erid Retreat and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. The property is stunning, and the surroundings are so quiet and relaxing. It was the perfect place to slow down, unwind, and enjoy being in nature.One of the best parts of our stay was the host. She is incredibly warm, kind, and generous with her time and energy. She made us feel so welcome and was always happy to help with anything we needed.The amenities were fantastic. The brand-new sauna with its amazing view of the lake was a highlight, and we loved spending time in the hot tub after a day outdoors. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. You can tell a lot of care has gone into creating such a welcoming space.We left feeling refreshed and inspired. We wouldn't hesitate to come back!

We held a retreat at this beautiful venue and it was exactly what we needed to create the experience of beauty, nature and community. Everything was available as we needed it and the host was responsive and welcoming. We can't wait to come back to host our next convening!

I took a group to Eird for a yoga retreat and it was amazing! The property is beautiful, rooms were great and cozy, the yoga shala was perfect. We felt right at home and loved the seclusion of the property but that it was also close to so much on the south coast. We were fortunate to see the northern lights almost every night!! An unforgettable experience. Svava who owns the property was great to work with and she was also our private chef for the week. Her food, energy, and creativeness was second to none. She was accommodating but also made us feel right at home to enjoy the property. I cannot recommend this place enough.
