    It was like we drove up to a storybook stay. The home was right alongside the ocean shore, the drive down was a bit daunting but turned out fine. My Family reserved 2 rooms, 1 for the youth and one for my husband and I. The rooms were simple and...

    It’s the closest I’ve felt to being at home, even while being in a completely unfamiliar country. There’s something about the warmth, atmosphere, and ease that just made it all feel surprisingly familiar. The owners are truly going above and...

    The place was very near to Husavik. The location and views are amazing with a walkable boardwalk over the waterbody. The room was small, but it still had a provision for a good stay. The atay had a common room for dining which we used fully as we...

    Breathtaking views- clean, comfortable. Location on the water - we saw humpbacks in evening and orcas in morning with fresh brewed coffee. The family that owns is friendly and relaxed! Lots of large washrooms- this was never an issue. We had small...

Property info

The house called Tungulending was first used to process lumpfish caviar. It was build in the 1950s and was in operation until the year 2000. It has a long history in icelandic fishing culture and still today it is possible to feel the former importance of this place. In 2013 Martin Varga from Germany had decided to rebuild the house, but keep the original atmosphere. Tungulending is located in a very special surrounding. With the pier and old harbor area it still reminds the old days and past use of the building. In 2024, we, Thessa and Chris - also from Germany - decided to take over the guesthouse. We are happy to take on this task and to reopen this special place for many people.

Neighborhood info

Amazing surrounding. Pure nature. It is very special to find a place for a holiday house so close to the North Atlantic Ocean. Tungulending is in a remote area, it feels like being in an untouched bubble. Unique, peaceful and friendly.
