    Location was right across from the ocean, views were excellent! Price was very fair and the location was a little scary to drive into. But I'd stay here again since the views were too good!

Property information

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.

Neighbourhood information

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.
