Due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, the opening of bookings for Efling holiday homes for the first part of the coming winter has had to be postponed. Bookings were originally scheduled to open tomorrow, 18 August, but unfortunately, it is necessary to postpone the opening until Friday, 21 August. Efling apologises for any inconvenience this may cause. On Friday, Efling members will be able to log in to My Pages on the Efling website and book a holiday home. The rental period in question is from 28 August to 21 December 2026 , and both weekend and weekly rentals will be available. There is generally high demand for Efling’s holiday homes during the winter, particularly for those located close to the Reykjavík capital area. Members are therefore encouraged to book early. Bookings for holiday homes over the Christmas and New Year period will open on 11 September . The periods available are 22–29 December and 29 December–5 January . During the holiday period, holiday homes can only be rented for one week at a time. Bookings for the period 5 January–27 May 2027 will open on the morning of 2 November . The application period for Easter will be announced at a later date.
Af óviðráðanlegum orsökum hefur þurft að fresta opnun á bókunum fyrir orlofshús Eflingar fyrrihluta komandi vetrar. Til stóð að hægt yrði að byrja að bóka á morgun, 18. ágúst, en því miður er nauðsynlegt að fresta opnunni til föstudagsins 21. ágúst. Efling biðst velvirðingar á þeim óþægindum sem þetta kann að valda. Á föstudag geta Eflingarfélagar farið inn á Mínar síður á vefsíðu Eflingar og bókað orlofshús. Leigutímabilið sem um ræðir er frá 28. ágúst-21. desember 2026, og bæði er hægt að bóka helgar- og vikuleigu. Mikil eftirspurn er alla jafna eftir orlofshúsum félagsins yfir vetrartímann, ekki síst þeim húsum sem eru skammt frá höfuðborgarsvæðinu. Því er vænlegt að bóka tímanlega. Opnað verður fyrir bókanir orlofshúsa yfir jól og áramót 11. september næstkomandi. Tímabilin sem þar er um að ræða eru frá 22.-29. desember og 29. desember-5. janúar. Aðeins er hægt að leigja orlofshús í viku í senn yfir hátíðarnar. Þá verður opnað fyrir bókunartímabilið 5. janúar-27. maí 2027 að morgni 2. nóvember næstkomandi. Umsóknartímabil fyrir páska verður auglýst síðar.
