Upon reaching the junction take a right onto The Highway Road Number One (the main ring road around Iceland) going east through the mountains towards Selfoss. Go through the towns of Hveragerði (with all the greenhouses) and Selfoss and continue to drive east towards Hella. Pass through the village Hella, continue for eight kilometres and turn right at the sign for the resort. The hotel is on the right.
