This was a great property in a beautiful location. Check in was very easy and we received alot of helpful information upon booking. The home is quiet, peaceful, and comfortable. It is also well-situated for making day trips to sites throughout the Westfjords.

Great basecamp to explore Westfjords

Very comfy house and super-friendly host. The house is easily accessible and yet very quiet. Most of the beautiful places in the Westfjords are within max. 90 minutes driving distance.

Very spacious house with plenty of rooms and outdoor space to accommodate a small to large gathering. This is a great launching point to discover the Westfjords area. The home is well supplied for cooking and has plenty of supplies! There is a natural hot-spring pool nearby (5 minutes). The views from the family room/dining area are beautiful!!

Spacious home in wonderful location

I've stayed in VBROs around the world. This is a great one, if you like hiking in the spectacular Westfjords of Iceland. Thank you to Jon (and Sven at the fish farm) for making it a wonderful stay. Wish we had booked more days here!

Many thanks for your kind words regarding our lodge Tvera. Yes, this area is an outdooring paradise + all the interesting sights, like the Waterfall Dynjandi, the puffin cliffs at Látrabjarg or the stunning red beach at Raudasandur. And our Tvera is located just at the crossroads to anywhere in the Westfjords. Hope to see you great guys around again!

A comfortable house in an incredibly beautiful location. Don't miss the Dynjandi waterfall under an hour away. I would recommend booking a more robust car than we did for the gravel grades on the way there (or take ferry). The description made me want to be there and the reality was even better. That house should never be empty, so lovely is it to watch the light on the water.

Magical stay

The house is in a great location, is very clean and comfortable, and has everything you need for cooking. Our host was wonderful about communication. We loved looking out the front window at the fjord. Twice a white tailed eagle landed on the rocks in the water out front. It was a great place to spend 5 days.

Loved the view all around the house.

Right location. 5 minutes from the ferry, fish farm across the street, and surrounding you couldn’t ask for better. Sea in the fron and the mountains in the back with waterfall all around. Can’t forget the sheep roaming around and the hotpot nearby. Flokalunder has excellent food.

Wonderful house at the edge of the world

This is an amazing property, fully equipped with all amenities and plenty of room. Best of all, it has a spectacular location on the side of a beautiful fjord, close to all the jewels of the Westfjords. My family and I had three wonderful days here, and all of us were sad to leave. Highly recommended. The owner, Jon, is also very friendly and helpful.

Wonderful Tvera

Beautiful and quiet surrounded by birds and an ocean view. We were visited by sheep, geese and ducks. The alpine wildflowers were in bloom which just added to experience. House was immaculate, stylish and had everything we needed and communication with the property manager was also great.

A lovely house in a gorgeous location

This house was the perfect home base for our family. We were looking forward to a remote, wintry, Westfjords experience and we were not disappointed. Mountain behind, ocean in front. Could not have asked for better. Jon, our host, was amazing: warm, responsive, and helpful, he embodied a hospitality that helped make our trip both memorable and enjoyable.

We loved our stay at Tvera!

Jon was exceptional in communicating with us prior to our trip. He was very helpful in guiding me through the reservation process and offering traveling tips and advice that didn’t disappoint. The home was clean and welcoming, with very adequate accommodations. The view of the ocean was exquisite and we enjoyed our strolls on the beach and splashing in tidal pools with our 2 year old. I highly recommend spending time in the West Fjords and a stay at Tvera. We certainly enjoyed our 4 nights and hope to be back again!

Amazing property in the Westfjords

This was a wonderful vacation rental in the sparsely populated Westfjords. Very convenient location by the ferry terminal and with a hotel, restaurant, and natural hot pot down the road. Beautiful sweeping vistas out of most windows. We saw Arctic foxes right in front of the property. Relatively short drive to some of the area's major attractions, including the Dynjandi Waterfall, red sand beach, and Latrabjarg bird cliffs. The home was spotless when we arrived and our hosts were very gracious and communicative.

The views from the house are amazing. It’s convenient to the ferry but everything else is a long drive. However, the second bathroom is really a utility room with a shower and toilet. The pillows were very flat and the towels very old and rough. Overall, not one of the best VRBO’s we’ve stayed in.

incredible and unique rental in Westfjords

Our family had an incredible vacation in this lovely home We spent a few days in and around Reykjavik before traveling north to the Westfjords to spend the rest of our vacation in Westfjords. We arrived to a wonderful, comfortable, and well equipped home. The views of the cliffs and ocean are stunning! It was lovely to relax at the home between our adventures to the Latrabjarg Cliffs and Dynjandi Waterfall. There is a great hiking trail nearby and the Flókalundur hotel and restaurant are nearby: we ate lunch there and enjoyed the food and the views. JB was very helpful through the process and helped insure that we had a great vacation!

Best of the Westfjords South

A perfect place to explore the southern part of the Westfjords...very convenient location! Clean house with everything you need. Feels remote. Has gorgeous views. Nice walks at low tide and hiking in canyons nearby. Jon easy to communicate with. Has other beautiful places we would like to stay at in the future...see his postcards at the house! We'll be back.

A Little Peace and Quiet

If you are looking for a remote location in the Westfjords with an amazing view, this is the place. The view from the living/dining room overlooking Vatnsfjordur and the Atlantic Ocean is serene and can't be beat for beauty. The location is very quiet with very little car traffic. You have to travel 45 minutes to the nearest town, but there is a hotel within a couple of miles with a gas pump and a good restaurant. The location is a good base for traveling to many of the Westfjord sites. The lodge is well appointed with all kitchen necessities. I traveled solo but there are plenty of comfortable beds for a larger group. It is always nice to have an accommodation with a washer and dryer. Several days the sheep were on the front lawn. The host Jon Baldur was very quick to reply to my many questions prior to travel. This was my 3rd trip to Iceland and I will be sure to use another Nordic Lodge in the future.

house between Flokalunder and Bjanslaekur

We stayed at the house for nearly two weeks and it was wonderful. It is spacious inside and the views from every window are spectacular. We walked in the mountains or down by the sea every day and picked wild berries and chanterelles and it was magical. The nearest grocery is about thirty minutes away and it had everything we needed. The house was well set up for cooking and the hotel restautant five minutes away was great. No problems, no complaints: perfect
