If you have ever dreamed of living next to a roaring waterfall in the magical Nordic landscape of North Iceland, then look no further. The Guesthouse Fosshóll, which sits on the edge of Skjálfandafljót canyon, is only 500 meters from Goðafoss waterfall and can be yours for a whopping $x.

Check out the real estate listing here. The guesthouse includes 21 rooms as well as a restaurant. Nearby, there is a camping site, a shop, and a petrol station. Goðafoss, which means waterfall of the Gods, is located in Bárðardalur district only 52 kilometers from Iceland’s cultural capital of the north, Akureyri.

Godafoss Waterfall

Akureyri may be smaller than Reykjavik but it has many of the same offerings, just on a smaller scale. With cafes, restaurants, vintage shopping, art museums, hiking trails, skiing trails and whale-watching – Akureyri has a lot to offer its visitors, especially if those looking to experience Iceland in a smaller scale. With Iceland’s tourism sector showing no signs of slowing down, the purchase of a guesthouse with close proximity to both Akureyri as well as a site of outstanding beauty like Goðafoss, could be an investment opportunity well worth it.

Godafoss Revisited

Bear in mind that purchasing the stunning guesthouse also means that you will most likely encounter many Game of Thrones fans as the waterfall was a film location in season four of the popular adventure-fantasy series.
