About this property

Remote, quiet location, yet only 40 minutes from Reykjavík.
Our Cottage is located in West Iceland with a view over Lake Eiðisvatn, the Hvalfjörður fjord and the spectacular mountains around the fjord.
It's behind the small village of Melahverfi, which is signposted on the ring road and around 15 minutes away from Akranes.

In autumn and winter, this is also a good place to watch the Northern Lights.
Although the view is wonderful, you can't help but see an aluminium plant a few kilometres away. We don't mind this sight - we live in our house next to the Cottage.

Our cottage has a spacious living, dining and kitchen area, 1 bathroom (sink, toilet and shower) and 2 bedrooms. In one bedroom can sleep 3 people, the other 2 people.
The large veranda with panoramic view also invites you to linger.

You can park your car on our property directly in front of the parking sign for guests.
The path on the left side leads past our house, directly to the Cottage.

If you have questions or need help - no problem ...
We live next door - you can contact us at any time !

Wonderful Cottage

We only had a short stay, but the host was just fabulous! Very clean and well cared for, spacious enough for a family of 5. The cottage was so charming, we wished we had longer to stay. When we have to opportunity to return to Iceland, we will try and stay here again.

Lovely, comfortable cottage

We had a lovely time. We stayed 3 nights. We visited Reykjavik and did whale watching. We also visited thermal pools and waterfalls. But more importantly we were lucky enough to see the Northern lights from the cottage. Katrin explained to walk up the drive and look over the mountains. My husband downloaded an app that alerted us to the lights and we ran up the drive to see them. Fantastic! The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. The bedrooms are small but the beds are very comfortable. The cottage is only around 40 min from Reykjavik and that was ideal. We felt very comfortable there. Thank You.
