Stays in Djúpivogur

Waterfall Villa is a spacious one-bedroom apartment in Djúpivogur with two bathrooms and a terrace with garden views. It has air-conditioning, a hot tub, a sauna and a fully equipped kitchen. The listing places it near the black beach with views over the fjord, and staff speak English and Icelandic. It has a single guest review so far, so this page rests on the listed facilities.

Geithellar is a three-bedroom villa in Djúpivogur with a fully equipped kitchen, air-conditioning and free WiFi. A garden, a terrace and a patio look over the sea and mountains, and free private parking is included. Three bedrooms make it workable for a family or a group of friends sharing. A 9.7 rating across 47 reviews is outstanding, though the sample is small. I would choose it for a group wanting a whole house in the east.

Krákhamar Apartments are studios 22 km from Djúpivogur, each with a private bathroom, a fully equipped kitchenette, a balcony, free WiFi, and sea and mountain views. Hiking is available nearby, parking is on site and pets are welcome. The 22 km distance means the village is a drive away, so stock up before arriving. Studios suit a couple or a parent with a child. Guests rate it 9.6 across 933 reviews.

Bragðavellir lies 10 km from Djúpivogur in East Iceland, close to Route 1 where it follows the fjords between Höfn and Breiðdalsvík, and its self-catering cottages look out over mountains and a river. Each has a kitchenette and a terrace. Our editorial view for families: stock up in Djúpivogur, cook in, let the children play outside in the long light, and look for aurora from the terrace on clear winter nights away from town.

Hotel Framtid overlooks Djúpivogur Harbour and is 150 metres from the village swimming pool and spa. Accommodation ranges from rooms with private bathrooms to simpler options with shared facilities, and some have kitchen facilities and a living room, so check which room type you are booking. A bar and a restaurant serving local seafood specialities are on site, and parking is free. Guests rate it 8.6 across 939 reviews.

Fossardalur Guesthouse works well for families who like to cook and keep their own rhythm near Djúpivogur. The family rooms each have a kitchenette and dining area, and a shared kitchen is also available. Mountain and river views frame the stay, and an outdoor fireplace gives the evening a focus once the children are fed. Free Wi-Fi and private parking are included, and an 8.5 rating from 558 reviews is solid.

Bragdavellir Holiday Home gives a family a two-bedroom apartment with a living room, plus a terrace, balcony and garden that all face the sea and mountains. The family-friendly restaurant and bar on site take the pressure off cooking after a long drive through the East Fjords, and free private parking keeps things simple. I would suggest it for a family of four stopping in Djúpivogur. The 8.5 from 37 guests is solid rather than outstanding.

Private balconies look over the sea, a lake and the mountains, and rooms include family rooms, a kitchenette and a private bathroom. Egilsstaðir Airport is 68 km away, so this is a base for drivers. With 798 reviews and an 8.4 score, I recommend it to families and hiking couples in east Iceland.

Framtid Hostel is in Djúpivogur village, with private rooms in a separate house, free WiFi, a shared kitchen in the main building and shared bathroom facilities and a lounge. For families on a budget the shared kitchen is useful, but private rooms do not come with a private bathroom. The Ring Road is a 5-minute drive away, and bicycles can be rented on site. Guests rate it 8.4 across 559 reviews.

Djúpivogur is a harbour village on Route 1 in East Iceland, 85 km from Egilsstaðir airport, and Framtíð's barrel units are a step up from a tent: a seating area, a work desk and parquet floors, with shared bathrooms and kitchen. A restaurant and minimarket sit on site, and dogs are welcome. Our editorial view for couples: book a barrel for one night, eat at the restaurant, and walk the harbour to the Eggin í Gleðivík egg sculptures.

Helgafell Hostel in Djúpivogur has family rooms with garden and mountain views, each with a kitchenette and soundproofing. Wi-Fi, a shared kitchen and on-site private parking are free or included, and a continental buffet breakfast is served daily.
