Summary: I took a group to Eird for a yoga retreat and it was amazing! The property is beautiful, rooms were great and cozy, the yoga shala was perfect. We felt right at home and loved the seclusion of the property but that it was also close to so much on the south coast. We were fortunate to see the northern lights almost every night!! An unforgettable experience. Svava who owns the property was great to work with and she was also our private chef for the week. Her food, energy, and creativeness was second to none. She was accommodating but also made us feel right at home to enjoy the property. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Summary: The location was fantastic. We loved being able to walk on the roads and see barely any cars, only sheep and horses. The lake is gorgeous and was the perfect place for our cold plunge, and the hot tub was luxurious. We felt grounded and really appreciated the beauty of the buildings, both inside and out. Simple, calming and carefully curated. Our host was responsive to all of our needs in a timely manner. On the last two nights we were blessed with views of the Northern Lights, especially bright in the country. Thank you for an unforgettable and magical stay in Iceland.

Summary: Eird Retreat was an absolutely magical place to spend the trip of a lifetime. It's even more beautiful than the pictures. Plenty of space for 19 of us. The best equipped kitchen I've ever experienced in a rental. Absolutely charming and very responsive hosts. So sad that I'm not still there!

Summary: Staying at Svava’s property was nothing short of magical. The property is spacious, beautifully designed, and tucked into a stunning landscape that feels both grounding and awe-inspiring. Every detail—from the cozy common areas to the thoughtful amenities—made our group feel instantly welcomed and at ease.Svava was an incredible host—responsive, kind, and attentive. She truly goes above and beyond, creating a space that feels like a sanctuary. The energy of the home supported deep rest, meaningful connection, and a sense of inspiration that stayed with us long after we left.Whether you’re coming for adventure, retreat, or reconnection, this is the kind of place that leaves an imprint. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Summary: I hosted a women's retreat at Eird and it was wonderful. The property and yoga shala are stunning, the view in every direction are wonderful and it's very peaceful. Svava was easy to get ahold of and very helpful. We would absolutely stay again!

Summary: We had a wonderful stay at the Erid Retreat. The location was stunning, remote and peaceful. The Retreat was more than able to handle our large group. With private and shared spaces we had the choice to come together and also enjoy our privacy. Although we did not have time to enjoy the peace of the yoga room as we would have liked, it looks like a fantastic facility that we look forward to enjoying on our next visit.

Summary: It was an awesome setup! Perfect for our group of 15. All had individual bedrooms! I wish the bedrooms in the main house were not so hard to get to especially for elderly peeps and also wish they had their own bathrooms instead of having to go downstairs! The road to get to the property was a bit far from the main road but that’s to be expected as we were in Iceland and distances are just part of the terrain! The rest was awesome though! The hosts Svava and Thor were awesome! Responded quickly to all questions. Even delivered a new grill the next day as the old one was not working properly! Overall the stay was great. Would definitely book again. Centrally located to all attractions in South Iceland!! Would have been too far to attractions like blk sand beach, Vik etc..if we stayed in Reykjavik!! Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful property, Svava and Thor!

Summary: We recently spent a week at Eird hosting a large group yoga retreat, and our experience exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, the serene atmosphere and stunning natural beauty set the perfect tone for reflection and growth. The accommodations were wonderful, offering comfortable lodging with both privacy and communal spaces. The attention to detail created a warm and inviting environment. Our hostess, Svava, made our stay exceptional, going above and beyond to meet our needs. Overall, our week at Eird was transformative, fostering personal growth, group bonding, and a deep appreciation for nature. We left feeling rejuvenated and connected to ourselves and each other. I wholeheartedly recommend Eird for anyone seeking a retreat experience that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit. We’re already planning our next visit!

Summary: Wonderful stay at Eird for a group yoga retreat. The property was absolutely perfect. The location was beautiful and serene, and the house is as beautiful in person. Thor and Svava were good at answering any questions and were very accommodating! Highly recommend staying at Eird!

Summary: The property was beautiful and perfect for my fiance and I’s families to stay together at while in the country for us to get married! It’s about an hour and a half away from Vik and an easy drive away from a lot of the sights in the Golden Circle. Most of us preferred the peace and quiet of the property however - it was just as pretty as a lot of the Golden Circle sights but without the crowds. The hosts were also so kind and communicative! We would love to come back with a larger group sometime. It was absolutely beautiful here.
