The property, Solheimar 9, is located in Svalbardsstrond an 8 minutes drive outside the town Akureyri by road 83. Solheimar 9 is not a farm but stands by a small gravel road with few private houses (some in building process), close to the see shore. The property Solheimar 9, was built in the year 2001 by us Bergthora and Starri. Since our children left the nest some years ago we decided to offer the two extra rooms downstairs in our house to travelers. The year 2017 we decided to expand and built the Guesthouse with two studios, next to our home.

The Guesthouse stands next to our home and a parking for us and the guests next to the houses. There are two studios in the Guesthouse E and W. Guests enter the Guesthouse directly from the parking and the entrance hall with a washer and dryer is shared. Two separate doors leads to each studio compleatly private (bedroom, diningroom, kitchenette and bathroom.

The Guesthouse patio is not completly private but separated.

The hot pot is placed 25 m from the Guesthouse on the seaside next to the main house. Guests have access to the hot tub upon request and is shared. Though it is wery seldom that both studios ask for the hot tub at the same time.
