About this property

Brekka - Stunning Country & Ocean View Location, Yet Close To Reykjavik

At lodge Brekka you sure have a warm welcome, independent of weather. You'll feel comfortable in the nice open space of the house and the big terrace around, enjoying the privacy of this pristine site. The inviting geothermal tub is discretely placed in the bushes of the birch midst in the pure nature. The location is superb with a great view with ever changing shades of light on the Hvalfjord-bay and the Atlantic Ocean, and the mountain group Sulur in the other direction. A little creek makes the border of the property as it flows by in the gully. The lodge Brekka (means slope) is a beautiful house, finished in 2013. It is sitting nicely in the hillside, hence the name. For 6 people you have a lot of space, additionally there is a double sleeping couch in the open space upstairs, ideal for kids. That way Brekka can accommodate 8 people on request. Please notice, if booked for more than 6 guests a surcharge pr. person, will apply.
Brekka is a gorgeous place to stay, a real retreat from Reykjavik, "Fairly close but far enough". The house is approximately 45 minutes drive from Reykjavík and only about 1,5 hours from the KEF airport. Brekka has a free glass fibre connection for Internet and TV.
Are you heading North, West or South? We also run the quality cottages "Hamragil" by the town Akureyri up North (Booking Numbrer 3925011), "Tvera" at the south coast of the Westfjords (4084081) and "Stekkar" south of the great sights Geysir and Gullfoss (2903253).

Host profile image
Hooked on tourism, yet studied automotive engineering in the University for Applied Sciences in Munich, Germany with the graduation Dipl.-Ing. (FH) Fahrzeugtechnik. After being technical director at the car inspection and type approval branch (MOT/TÜV) in Iceland for a few years I got more and more linked to the tourism, using my good knowledge in German, English and Swedish.
Tourist guide since 1983 and owner and operator of the tour agency Isafold Travel and the unique 4x4 rental Isak for 18 years.
Sold the whole business in 2015 to start up a new enterprise, Nordic Lodges. This company runs a few vacation rentals in various parts of Iceland, offering the concept "Roof 'n Route", which makes our lodges to "step stones" on your travel in Iceland.
Tourism and music are my hobbies, and that's where I'm now!
