A wonderful place if you have the kids in tow, Vatnsholt is located about 16km southeast
of Selfoss, just 8km off the Ring Road. Here you'll find over 30 sun-filled bedrooms
scattered throughout a sweeping farmstead with views to Eyjafjallajökull, Hekla, Vestman-
naeyjar and the steaming earths at Hveragerði.
Bike rentals, a restaurant, a menagerie of animals (including Elvis the dancing goat) and
an elaborate playground could have you staying longer than you expect.

Selfoss is the largest town in southern Iceland, an important trade centre, and witlessly
ugly. Iceland's Ring Road is its main street - the only reason to stop is to transfer buses or
load up on groceries. If you find yourself with time on your hands between buses, Selfoss
has a fine geothermal pool ( GOOGLE MAP ; 480 1960;Bankavegur;adult/child Ikr600/free;
6.30am-9.30pm Mon-Fri, 9am-7pm Sat & Sun) with hot-pots and water slides.
