About this property

Beautiful cozy cottage

A beautiful and cozy cottage nestled in a spacious garden beside another property in charming Hveragerði, often called the hot spring capital of the world and located within the Golden Circle. Supermarkets, shops, a bakery, bank, tourist information, and other services are all within walking distance.

The cottage includes one bedroom with a queen bed and a living room with an additional queen bed. It features simple cooking facilities with a small stove, microwave, fridge, bread maker, and basic kitchen essentials.

A loft with an extra double bed is usually closed off but can be opened upon request for a small cleaning fee. Half of the loft upstairs is used as storage room and cant be accessed.

The cottage sits in a large garden shared with another house that is not always in use. Guests are welcome to enjoy the outdoor space, including the tables and chairs outside the main house.

Nearby is the famous Reykjadalur hot spring valley, where a scenic hike leads to a naturally heated river where you can bathe in nature. Along the way you’ll enjoy beautiful landscapes and geothermal hot springs. I also highly recommend the town’s wonderful geothermal swimming pool, known for its warm water and spacious setting.

We had an amazing stay at Helga’s Cozy Cottage! The cottage is very cute, inviting and comfortable for 3 adults. Helga is very responsive in communication and the instructions and videos are really helpful. The area around the cottage has hiking, hot springs, great pizza/brew pub and was near many sites we took in during the day. Five stars Helga!Thank you for your hospitality!

Great location and very nice place to stay for a couple. It is small and well prepared. The shower is tiny but the water is hot with great pressure. Bed is smaller for two people with a comfortable mattress. Host was kind and made check in very easy. Would recommend for two people visiting Iceland. Town is perfect with shops and great restaurants.

Relaxing cabin

We only had a couple days in Iceland, and this cabin was the perfect place to get some rest from jet lag and then explore the coast. Conveniently located, host was excellent, and Hveragerdi was very enjoyable (great pizza, nice local bar, kind locals). Would definitely book again!

Good place to stay

We basically arose early, usually stopping at Amari Bakari every morning. Most nights we didn’t get back till 9:30-11:00 P.M., good place to launch from, especially things close to Reykjavik and the Golden Circle. A lot of driving to places like Hofn and the Glacier experiences . Over all a good stay for us, a little small for us, but worked fine!!

Perfectly situated for Golden Circle travel

The house is located on the property of another house, which I couldn't tell from the photos but it's explained in the host video. I stayed for two nights and enjoyed how close everything was as far as groceries, gas, a delicious local bakery, a few restaurants, several popular hot spring areas, and of course, the Golden Circle route. The host was very communicative and flexible, which I am always grateful for. I would certainly stay here again.

Cozy, quiet cottage

Cottage was in a nice location and clean. Kitchenette was adequate. Was a little too small for our family of 4 with two teens, but would likely be fine for fewer people or younger kids. Easy check-in and orientation video from host. Parking available at residence.

A lovely spacious property.

This was a lovely property with easy access to the Golden Circle and the South Coast. Very good communication with management. They had a small hot loaf of bread in the apartment upon check in. It was just my son and I but was large enough for a small group. It lived up to the photos posted.

Great location

Our experience here was great. The cottage is really nice and has everything you need after a day of sight seeing. I didn’t go to Iceland to sit inside all day but the beds are comfortable, the showers were clean and hot, and the host Helga is a wonderful person. She came over and gave us lots of helpful tips of things to do with the kids. I liked the location because it’s away from the city. I liked this because I was able to meet locals and get to know the area. Icelanders are extremely friendly and helpful, I definitely want to go back.

About the host

Hosted by Helga Marin

Host profile image
I am an inspirational speaker, life coach, health and wellness coach and a teacher and my purpose in life is to inspire people to unleash their full potential and become the best versions of themselves. I inherited the cottage along with the property it was built on 4 years ago and I have been renting it out ever since. My goal is to provide my guests with an authentic Icelandic experience and I do my best to meet all their requirements. I have met people from all over the world which has been wonderful. I even married my first guest who stayed at my house summer 2015.

Why they chose this property

The main house on the property was built by my grandmother who was also the first woman to drive a car and a motorcycle in Iceland. She was a remarkable woman who faught for women's rights and was driven to help people whenever she could. She was a midwife and the head of the midwife association in Reykjavik. She originally built the main house for the midwifes but later the house became a summerhouse for the family. After her passing, my mother inherited the main house and she and my father built the cottage in the garden. It was originally built for guests that came to visit the family during holidays.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is cozy and spacious and is equipped with everything one needs for a comfortable stay. It is very peaceful and quiet here which my guests greatly appreciate. Hveragerdi is a beautiful small town and you are surrounded by beautiful nature. There are many hiking and walking trails that those who are interested can enjoy. We also have an amazing swimming pool in the neighborhood and one of the best natural hot spring in Iceland you can enjoy swimming in all year around.
Our goal is to meet our guests requirements so that they can have a wonderful stay.
