The small guesthouse was great. It’s quiet, safe, and in a location close to the places we wanted to explore in Iceland. The best thing about this place is the host, he was very welcoming, friendly and serves an amazing breakfast to start off our day. Highly recommend this place! Thank you so much!

Our host was so interesting. There are so many cool things to look at in the house and everything is related to the travel or life of the host. He was very accommodating and we truly felt like welcome guests. The beds were comfortable and the house was warm. Breakfast was delicious.

Owner August was great. The only problem we had is we never received an e-mail with check-in instructions and the reservation stated there wouldn't be anyone on site. Luckily there was someone there when we arrived.

What a great place!

This was my favorite place I stayed in my trip around Iceland. It was such a cozy and comfortable space. The breakfast was delicious and I had a great time conversing with our host. I would definitely like to stay here again when I visit the country.

The Hela cabin was a wonderful stay for 3 people, it was charming and cozy. There were also horses living on the other side of the fence, we had a joy feeding and petting them! The location was also a plus, far enough from town to enjoy the stars and country atmosphere, but near enough for a short drive for meals and groceries (~10 mins).

Cute and cozy cabins. Host was very pleasant and a wealth of information about Iceland as he is well travelled. Breakfast was delicious and abundant. Appreciated the small signs to help find the property as otherwise would have been challenging to locate.

Quiet location - great host!

Our host was very gracious and really took care of us. The room and WC area were great. The breakfast provided was a feast. And, we talked about some of the things we were still hoping to see and his knowledge of the country provided some direction that was really helpful, allowing us to see more of what we had read might be possible.

Peaceful Stay in the Country

We stayed in one of the cottages. It was very quiet and comfortable. There are no restaurants for dinner near by so plan ahead. The breakfast was included and had a good selection of things to eat. It was served at a big table in the main house and gave us a chance to meet the host and the other guests.
