Spacious comfort apartment in a quiet and peaceful location. Only a short drive (10-15 minutes) to Selfoss for supermarkets, restaurants, petrol station etc. The apartment made for a comfortable base to explore much of southern Iceland. Johan was incredibly friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Large apartment, with well stocked kitchen, good shower. Modern property but with some bits broken eg thermostat in one bedroom. Additional lamp lighting is mounted onto bed frames but has a large bolt facing towards the bed which wasn’t safe for children that potentially move about whilst asleep (we removed it). Would recommend!

Fantastic stay! The location was perfect -- near a beach/bay, in a sweet village, close to a picturesque town with a grocery store and food (but far enough away for northern lights viewing), near a few horse stables, near the Golden Circle, and great for a day-trip to Vik! The bed was super comfy, and the owners were SO NICE! Great value. Would stay there again in a heartbeat! :)

Wow!! Such an amazing place to stay. It was only about 10/15 minutes drive outside of Selfoss. The area is very quiet and cute and the hotel is right up against the beach. The room itself was very clean, comfortable, and spacious. We slept great because it was so quiet and dark. We were able to see the Northern Lights right outside our room! It was easy to speak to someone in the reception desk and we were overall very impressed. 10/10 would stay here again in a heartbeat!
