I have travelled to more than 50 countries and slept in countless accommodations. This is perhaps one of the best accommodations we have ever stayed in. Why? It's a truly magical place by the Fjord. You can literally relax in the hot tub while watching whales. The amenities of the cottage are really good as well! It exceeded my expectations by a lot. The beds are very comfortable. You will love it. PS: we stayed in the smaller cottage for 2

“Dream location, comfy cottage for 8, amazing hot tub, perfect service”
Unbelievable location. I wish we had booked this place for our whole stay in Iceland - I would have sacrificed doing the whole ring road for just staying here. Soaking into the hot tub in the Nordic Light-ful and snowy winter night with the views of The fjord and snowy mountains is just irreplacable. We even saw whales in the fjord even in winter. The cottage is nice even for 8 people, we were comfortable. Only the one small availavle pot were not sufficient, but since i have not asked for more i do not want to raise this since the only issue we had (one heater not working) they immediately sent a service person who fixed it.

Absolutely loved our stay here - again! Close to the fjord, out of town and such a peaceful and quiet place. We got to watch skies filled with stars and the Northern lights, right from the hot tub or veranda! And when a storm was forecasted, the host was so kind to think along and extend our stay, so we wouldn’t have to travel through code orange. Surely we’ll be back here again in one of our next stays.

The views from our cabin were fabulous. Would recommend going to Baccala bar for fish and chips just a few minutes' drive away in Hauganes.

“super view of the lake and whales!”
I was afraid the cottages would be old, but they are very well updated and modern and warm. Yes smallish, but very cosy in my opinion. The greatest thing is the hottub with view on the tourist whaling boats, so you know where to look to see the whales. I liked the lower temperature as it enables you to soak for hours. So modern, comfortable, great views of the water and mountains.

Amazing location and scenery. Waking up and having your morning coffee, watching whales surface a couple of hundred metres from the shore.

Everything was very nice, the location, on the coast, not far away from Akurayri. The house was well equipped, clean, enough space for everything. We have nice time there. Only we didn't see Aurora...we should come back...
