Háarif, a child-friendly townhouse is part of the small community of Rif on the northern coast of the Snæfellsnes peninsula.

It offers a magnificent view of the Snæfellsjökull glacier that Jule Verne used as inspiration and entry point for his story "Journey to the middle of the earth". Also, it is a good starting point for explorations of this fantastic area of Iceland. Snæfellsnes national park is on 2 km away and with its lava fields, rugged coastline, waterfalls and southern cliff coastline, the peninsula has something to offer for everyone.

This former family home and townhouse gives you the idea of what it is like to live in a small town in Iceland. The house has three bedrooms for six people. The living room is upstairs and on the ground floor is a well-equipped kitchen. Bathroom with WC/bathtub. There are a washer and dryer in the laundry room that you can use with the owner, who lives in the other half of the house, but is seldom there.

Parking space is in front of the house.

Ólafsvík is a small town on the northern-western side of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, between Grundarfjörður and Hellissandur. Ólafsvík is a fishing village and small center of commerce and services for farmers in the area. During the 17th and 18th centuries the village was one of the larger trading ports in Iceland, when commercial vessels sailed between Ólafsvík and Denmark. Today the area provides interesting sightseeing opportunities for tourists, such as birdwatching, hiking trails, and whale watching during spring time.

The Snæfellsnes Peninsula has beautiful diverse and dramatic landscapes. At its western tip is Snæfellsjökull National Park and its dominant glacier. Popular tourist places are Djúpalónssandur Beach, Kirkjufell mountain and the smaller fishing communities along the southern part of the peninsula.

Viatis recommends

  • Walk between Arnarstapi and Hellnar
  • Djúpalónssandur Black Sand Bay
  • Seal Watching at Ytri Tunga
  • Sightseeing by boat from Stykkishólmur
  • Snæfellsjökull Glacier National Park
