Audkula Dome Cabin is a dome cabin just off Route 1 near Hella, set up as a one-bedroom apartment with a living room, a kitchenette, a garden, a terrace and outdoor seating. WiFi and private parking are free, and the garden and river views suit a quiet evening. Seljalandsfoss is 35 km away. It is small, so it fits a couple or a parent with one child better than a bigger family. Guests rate it 9.5, with 247 reviews.

These are renovated, self-contained cottages in open country, with river and mountain views and a terrace, and they suit people who want space and quiet more than a village. The layout works for couples and small families who cook: a full kitchen in each unit with a stovetop, microwave and fridge, a private shower room and parking in front of the door. The setting is the reason to come: you are on the Hekla side of the south, within reach of Þjórsárdalur, Gjáin and Hjálparfoss, and of the Highlands road in summer. The downsides are equally clear. It is a drive back to Hella for dinner, the last part of the route is rural, and a short Ring Road trip will lose time on the detour. Guests rate it 9.2 across 330 reviews in our data.

Seljalandsfoss is 42 km away for a day on the south coast. The bedroom count is not stated, so I would check it first.
