About the host
Hosted by Austurey Gisting
Austurey has been owned by the family for 92 years, or since 1926.
Today the family still raises sheep in Austurey 1 as well as partly running a heating utility and water supply utility. Part of the lake Apavatn and the river Hólaá is also part of Austurey´s 1 land, which is a popular place to fish.
We, Lárus Kjartansson and Magndís H. Sigmarsdóttir are the owners of Austurey Cottages. We have four daughters, Anna Kolbrún, Auður María, Magnea Ósk and Helga Marín.
We started building six cottages in the summer of 2017, which were ready on the 1st of June 2018. Two years later we built the Lakefront Villa close to the cottages and only recently started renting it out. We love welcoming guests to Austurey and try to accommodate our guests in the best possible way.
