The benefit of staying with us is that you will learn to respect the nature, and get to know Iceland in special and unic way. You get to know how our life is and hopefully you will make life long friends. You will stay as one of the family. We eat together and work together. As we eat together we prefer not vegan people, because we eat alot of meat and fish.
