“Really great”
This was one of the best places we stayed at during our round trip of Iceland. Sadly we only stayed a single night. The view in this house is indescribable beautiful. You are directly by the sea and can watch the port activities. The amenities at this place are also quite appealing. We even got some breakfast in the fridge we didn’t even expected. This was the perfect place to spend Christmas. When visiting consider traveling up north to the polar circle. We were able to sea quite a few seals and some other amazing wild life. The host is extremely nice as well and checking in is as easy as possible. Definitely worth booking this place.

“You couldn't ask for more”
On our ring road trip this was our favorite accommodation so far! The view is so stunning, it's spacious and everything was very clean, comfy beds, cute interior and very well equipped. We wished we would've booked more than one night and we are thrilled to come back someday.
