SOUTH CENTRAL APARTMENTS
Close to everything.
Far from everyone.
Your own base in the Golden Circle
South Central Apartments were built with one idea in mind: giving you a comfortable, private place to land while you explore Iceland.
There are ten apartments in total — some designed for two people, others for up to four — all laid out to feel spacious, bright, and easy to live in. The beds are built for real rest, including full-size bunk beds that work just as well for adults as they do for kids.
Each apartment has a fully equipped kitchen for proper meals, space to sit together, reliable Wi-Fi, and views that remind you where you are. Cook when you feel like it, eat out when you don’t — the choice is yours.
The bathroom is large and bright, with a powerful shower that makes a difference after long days on the road.
Just a five-minute walk away is the local swimming pool, refurbished in 2024, with saunas, a gym, and two rooftop hot tubs overlooking Hekla — one of the best places in the south of Iceland to slow down at the end of the day.
The best apartment we’ve stayed in on our 2-week trip. Clean, spacious, well-equipped, well-positioned, cosy, and bright

SouthCentral
Privately owned and family-run.
The property has gone through some drastic changes since it was first built as a gas station & store in the 80´
Later it became a candle factory & restaurant.
The current owners decided to rebuild it back in 2012 and turn it into 5 modern apartments designed with family travels in mind.
During covid lockdown, we added 4 brand-new apartments.

The bedroom
So it is basically a single-bedroom or a studio apartment. But it is spacious, the beds are soft clean, and new. The bathroom and showers are big and powerful. The small kitchen is well-equipped and should be ready for any meal.

Sight Seeing
There are a lot of places to see around here, and we are listing some of them. But just going for a walk around here is also worth your time.
Hiking and biking
Both biking and hiking are of course close by. In Iceland, we call hiking a “Labbitúr” and it is basically just going for a walk, which you can do almost anywhere.
The biking part is also an option, but we want you to remember to be carefull. Off road biking in the wrong places can be both dangerous an costly if you go of the path and end up ruining nature. Also there are no official bike paths along our highway so you are close to traffic. So that being said remember to be well light up, have reflective gear, let someone know exactly where you are going, chek in often and enjoy.
And in both cases remember to prepare for any kind of weather. You know the old Icelandic saying.
If you dont like the weather now -wait 10 minutes.
What Our Customers Are Saying
A BIT FAR AWAY, BUT IN THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE
Food and Drink
Just as a reminder the apartment is a few kilometers from the nearest shop. So stockpile a bit.
Drinking
The water in Iceland is fresh, pure, and perfectly safe for drinking right out of the tap. Anyone trying to sell you the fact that you need to buy and drink bottled water is just full of it.
But of course, having a bottle of water with you while traveling is always good, but you are welcome to fill it from our taps.
The other kind of drinking
If you were thinking of alcohol it is only sold in special stores in Iceland (and bars) that are only open on weekdays and most of them only until six o clock.
