Kindagata 7

Relax in this quiet and elegant new property. The house is under construction and will be ready in early June 2024, so there are only traces of it outside as the interior is not ready until then. The house has two bedrooms, a bathroom, a living room, a dining room and a kitchen. The house is located about 5 km from Kirkjubæjarklaustur and is therefore halfway between The black sand beach in Vík and The national park Skaftafell and Jökulsárlón in the east. From the house there is a view of both Vatnajökull and Mýrdalsjökull.
