Our guesthouse building<\/h2>\n

The building that houses the Salth\u00fas Guesthouse in Skagastr\u00f6nd was built in 1950, by the local Skagstrendingur fisheries company. Its purpose was to service various needs of the local fisheries companies.<\/p>\n

The upper floor served as workspace for those putting bait on fish hooks for the local fishermen, as well as storage space for various fishing gear. Later, a small freezing cabin was added, to freeze bait. On the lower floor, cod was salted by the tonnes, and dried fish packed for export. In the later year, the lower floor housed the machinery shop of the local fish freezing plant. Engineer officer Mr. Petur Eggertsson lead a team of four engine attendants and repairmen, who were nicknamed \u201ePeter and the Wolves\u201c by locals.<\/p>\n

In the summer of 2017, the building takes on a new role. It opens its rooms so artists, who have been busy during the day in their artistic endeavours, will get their rightful night\u2018s sleep. The rooms of Salth\u00fas will also be available for tourists, who have come to indulge in what the Skaginn area has to offer in pristine Arctic natural landmarks and rich history.<\/p>\n

The Salth\u00fas is a wheelchair friendly guesthouse with two rooms that are handicap accessible and fitted with a bathroom suited for wheelchairs. It has free wireless Internet, a washer and dryer and a communal kitchen on each floor of this two-storey building.<\/p>\n
