Beautiful Luxury Cottage in South Iceland in a perfect locations

The cottage is amazing and one of the most impressive host facility in the country side in Iceland. It is in a beautiful spot and very well situated cottage with graet view, located near many interesting sites for example mount Hekla, Eyjafjallajökull which you can see out of the window in the house. Vatnajökull glacier, Þórsmörk, Gullfoss, Geysir and Vestman Island.

Approx. one hour drive from Reykjavik

House is very close to Hella 5 minutes away after you drive through Hella.
The country house is 150 m2 with an outside hot tub for 8 to 10 people.

The cottage can accommodate 1 persons. 1 master bedrooms 1 queen size bed and 3 bedrooms with two single beds.

The kitchen includes all required equipment, refrigerator, kitchen stove with oven, microwave oven, dishwasher, coffee machines, mixer and toaster. Kitchenware is for total over 20 persons.

There are 2 bathrooms, with shower.

Spectacular view of the landscape from the cottage.

• The cottage is located in the so called Golden circle area.

• An 18 hole golf course is just 5 minutes drive away.

• Many fishing rivers are nearby.

• The cottage and the surrounding area is very family friendly.

• The cottage is approx. one hours drive from Reykjavik.
The cottage is ideal for both summer and winter vacation. Summer time for 24 hour daylight and winter time for Northern Lights.
The atmosphere is very peaceful and you are in touch with nature and the surrounding landscape. From the living room you can see Mount Hekla and Eyjafjallajökull.

It is very relaxing to come our house after a long strong day and and relax go in to the hot tub and in the winter time if you are lucky you can see the Northern Lights dancing over the house and in the summer enjoy the brightness and nature.
In the winter it is nothing that beats lying in the hot tub watching the stars and if you are lucky you can see the Northern Lights.

Great stay
We loved our stay here. Great access to so many things, and Soffia was great about giving us a lot of information. The short walk to the waterfall right behind the house was great too! And the kitchen had everything.

Family trip
The house is perfect for a family stay. The view is spectacular. We were able to see the Northern Lights from the back porch four nights! Very convenient to the Golden circle for day trips to waterfalls,black sand beach,glaciers and so much more. Perfect place to enjoy beautiful Iceland. Thank you Soffia

Wonderful spot for a visit to Iceland
This home is beautifully located and very well appointed. The owners are responsive and helpful. The home is well maintained and amply and thoughtfully stocked with every item needed for a stay. The beds were comfortable. It is remote enough to see the northern lights (3 times during our stay!) and yet close enough for day trips to south coast, golden triangle, and Reykjavik. We were so fortunate to be able to stay here.

Amazing views, wonderful house
I stayed here with a large group of extended family and kids and we loved the house. Convenient to lots of sights in south Iceland but also comfortable enough to take the day off and relax in. Laundry was a huge plus as was the incredibly well stocked kitchen. The view from the deck was outstanding. The grocery store in Hella was easy to get to and had most everything you could need.

Absolutely stunning location, incredibly well-appointed home, gorgeous and comfortable
This home was above and beyond in every way for our family. From the start, Soffia was amazing about communicating, answering questions and offering advice & insight. The house is so comfortable, beautifully decorated, and the view is amazing. It also has the best stocked kitchen I’ve ever had in a VRBO. We absolutely loved staying there and wished we had more vacation time to spend.

Amazing house!
The house was incredible; extremely clean, everything worked as described, spacious and amazing views! The house comfortably fit 8 adults with room for more! Beautiful location. Soffia was amazing to deal with; promptly answered all of my questions (which were many) and provided suggestions of sites we didn't want to miss. I will 100% recommend this Soffia & this house to anyone visiting Iceland.

Perfect for large groups
I was traveling with extended family in a group of 9 adults and worried about finding a house large enough for all of us. I should not have been worried; Soffia's house in Hella was absolutely perfect! It is spacious enough for large groups. We could have had several more in our group and still been comfortable!

Book this place!
Our family of 6 loved staying here! We took day trips to the southern locations of Iceland and it was convenient, comfortable and roomy. Our hosts were super available for questions. Absolute comfort and beautiful property. Any questions asked, the host was extremely timely in responding. The neighboring horses greeted us at the fence. Local favorite restaurants were Eldsto and Strond. We had very personal experiences with each place! Highly recommend this rental.

Incredible way to conclude our journey around Iceland!
Amazing property, gorgeous house, very special secluded location, very private. We loved the way the house was furnished and well-stocked with just about everything imaginable. After journeying around Iceland, the only thing missing was a view of the Northern Lights and this property DELIVERED! Around midnight the night before our flight home, we all experienced the Aurora in full glory. Soffia is the consummate host, thorough and helpful throughout the process. Many thanks, we'd love to visit again.

Terrific Golden Circle home base for families
This was our very first time in Iceland, and Soffia's place was perfect - even a bit large for our party of 6. Our host was very responsive even emailing back and forth with us during our stay which we were quite appreciative of. The house is in a perfect location close to Hella and within easy day trips of most attractions throughout the Golden Circle. The house itself is on a very secluded road, very private, with horses and sheep coming round the house regularly, which was quite exciting for us! On clear days we had fantastic views of Mt. Hekla. I'd highly recommend this place for any larger group looking for a perfect home base from which to explore!

Girls weekend!
Perfect house for our group of 10. Plenty of space to hang out in the evenings after a full days adventure! Stocked with everything you can think of, including a fantastic view. Great location for exploring the south coast! Be careful of the hot tub, it can get way too hot. Also note the driveway down to the house is a steep gravel path, we were fine with our jeeps, but we witnessed a car get stuck after taking a wrong turn into the driveway. Finding the trash drop off for checkout was a bit confusing, gps coordinates would have been helpful!

Just brilliant!
10 of us visited at the beginning of November for the 40th birthday of a friend. The house is even better in reality than the photographs suggest. Furnished and equipped to the highest standard in every aspect. We especially enjoyed the large communal lounge, dining and kitchen area. Soffia was very pleasant to deal with and keen to offer any help with planning or questions we had. The location is incredible; fantastic views and very serene. We saw the Northern Lights on one evening which truly capped a wonderful stay. If this property suits the size of your party then book it without reservation; you will not regret it for a moment!

Beautiful Scenery, Well Appointed House, Close to All the Sites
My extended family and I truly enjoyed this lovely home. It is well appointed with all we needed for a 4 night stay in the Southern region. We found it a great location to easily access numerous close waterfalls, Westman islands, black sand beach, etc. While the home is also close to Hella, grocery, liquor store, drug store...it feels like it is in the middle of beautiful countryside. Snow-capped mountains (volcanos) in view, a lush prairie and stream, horses, goats and sheep all visible out the vast back deck. There is laundry (washer, with clothes line) and a hot tub. Comfortable sitting area with flatscreen TV and wifi. Soffia was a huge help upon our arrival and with planning.

Stunning views
I can't sing the praises enough when it comes to our time at this incredible home. Starting with the location, it was the perfect jumping off point to tour the Golden Circle and the South Coast. Lots of eating and shopping opportunities with its adjacency to Hella, Selfoss, and Hvolsvollur. The house is hidden behind a hill to provide a completely secluded experience along with beyond stunning views of the countryside. The neighboring horses provided fantastic visitors for us -- several let us love on them. The house itself had everything we could need including a well stocked kitchen that allowed for several meals at the house. Just being in this gorgeous house was a treat in itself and you won't regret your stay here.

Summer in Iceland
Well-appointed for a quiet country stay in Iceland but excellent location to visit most of southern Iceland; Vik, Keflavik, Reykjavik and Golden Circle are easily accessible on day trips. About 5 minutes from Hella which has a grocery store, a couple of good restaurants and a gas station. 15 minutes to Hvolsvollur with more restaurants and larger grocer. Home was clean, beds were comfortable, everything was in working order. Black-out shades in the bedroom were awesome and necessary in July. We enjoyed morning Nesspresso on the large deck with majestic views and very entertaining birds. We really enjoyed our trip and our stay here was perfect for our family adventure.
