You walk a few minutes from the parking area across a farm meadow to three small pools ringed with stone, with an old turf-roofed hut beside them and open fields around. The water has been used on this farm since the 1890s for washing wool, bathing sheep and soaking, and it runs at around 32 to 40°C depending on the pool; one recent guide notes that some pools are only warm. A family runs the site, and in 2026 the adult fee is 3,000 ISK before 14:00 and 3,500 ISK after, payable by card or cash on site; children 10 and under are free.

Visits are limited to 90 minutes so the small pools do not overflow with people. A new changing building with showers and lockers opened in 2026. Do not come outside opening hours: the site is monitored and trespassers face a 60,000 ISK fee.

It is a short drive from the Secret Lagoon and the Golden Circle. The honest downside: the pools are small and fill quickly at midday, and the price has climbed well above what older guides say.
