We had two wonderful nights, surrounded by nature and with an amazing view that changes constantly. The cottage is very comfortable and warm, and the shower is sensational. It is in a great location to explore the area.It was a pleasure to meet Viktor and learn about their project.We highly recommend it.
This stay was so fun! The property is very beautiful, and the cabins are cozy and comfy. We had a lovely time relaxing in the little living room, watching the colors of the sweeping scenery outside change dramatically throughout the evening. The cabins are super nice: great shower, nice little kitchenette, and feel very private with the blackout curtains drawn. The host is very kind and communicative, and clearly cares a lot about the property and running a great operation.
A beautiful cabin, on the Hvammstangi peninsula, perfect landing spot for trips to the sea seals, and travel to the surrounding area. Viktor was responsive and very helpful with reccomendations. Highly recommend.
We had such a wonderful time at this cottage! From the moment we booked, the manager was incredibly friendly, responsive, and helpful — making the whole process easy and stress-free. The cottage itself is beautifully built, spotless, and thoughtfully designed, with every comfort we could have hoped for. It felt cozy yet spacious, and everything was in perfect condition. The peaceful setting and warm atmosphere made it a true home away from home. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay — we left relaxed, happy, and already talking about when we can come back!

Brand new, cozy cabins with beautiful views in a secluded area!
The cabins are located a few minutes off of Route 1, we found them without any issues. Our 2WD vehicle had no problems getting there.
There're many windows and plenty of natural light. As nights tend to be on a colder side, we appreciated how well heating worked. Great water pressure in the shower.
The host is wonderful. Informative, responsive, and proactive.
Thank you for taking care of us, Viktor!
