Facilities include a reception area and cafeteria, changing rooms and showers, three natural steam baths accommodating up to 50 bathers at a time, and a 5000m2 geothermal bathing pool maintained at a constant temperature of 38-40ºC.

A collection of birds collected by a local, Sigurgeir Stefánsson, who died in an accident on the lake in 1999. The museum has been build to honor his memory. It houses 300 birds of 180 species as well as some eggs. From the dining hall there is a nice view of the lake.

A 2 day music festival in July, started in 2008. The concerts are held in a barn which offers a unique atmosphere. After the concerts people head out into the woods to continue the party there. The music genre tends to be rock with various Icelandic and a few foreign bands playing
