The Gullkistan residency is located in a quiet village by the Laugarvatn Lake with a view of the Hekla volcano. (don’t worry, we are a safe distance away).  It has two studios with shared tools, materials and WiFi. Accommodation ranges from single rooms to studio apartments, when availabe. Gullkistan is a quiet and remote place, but only 120 km from the Keflavik International Airport, 70 km from Reykjavík, and 40 km from Selfoss, the center for south Iceland services. It is accessible year round. Gullkistan is also near to Geysir and the Gullfoss waterfall as well as the high lands.
