About this property

Scenic farmhouse in Hvalfjörður

A newly renovated, 119 sq meters, house located in Hvalfjordur with a great scenery over both mountains and the ocean. Close to major tourist attractions such as Húsafell and Glymur (Iceland’s highest waterfall) while the Golden Circle, Langjökull & Snæfellsnes are all within reasonable driving distance.

The place is located only 20 minutes by car from Akranes, where one can find all necessities, tourist information and other general service, 30 minutes from Borgarnes and only a short 45 minute drive from the capital, Reykjavík.

In close vicinity to the house you can find an outdoor swimming pool and two of the best golf courses in the country. The northern lights (aurora borealis) can be seen from the house and the comforts of the newly installed (geothermal) hot tub.

A great place to relax

Modern amenities in à house with history, close to many attractions when you go out and a great view when you stay in! Loved the geothermal hottub that looks like a hottub but definitely feels like a hotspring. Amazing!

Wonderful cabin and exactly as described. Hosts very responsive for what we asked. Perhaps will try the hot tub next time as it was a bit breezy outside this April. Cheers.

Beautiful property

The house was clean and very roomy. The one bathroom for 3 of us, we thought would be a challenge but it worked out fine. The view is amazing, unfortunately it rained most of the time we were there so we didn't enjoy the patio and hot tub. It was farther from Reykjavik than I thought but the drive was easy.

Paradise on Hvalfjordur

This property is not only beautiful and private, but it’s larger than it looks from the pictures. It is well appointed and I am taking some decorating ideas home with me! The views are priceless and it allowed us to have a real home to come back to after long days of immersing ourselves in this beautiful country. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place with us, we loved it!

Absolutely Wonderful

The house is just beautiful! We enjoyed the hot tub and the back deck. The beds were comfortable and everything was very clean. The owner was very responsive and friendly. The grocery store was close and you definitely want to stock up before getting to the house. Tips- bring your debit card with a pin for fuel. They don't take credit cards. Vik is about 2 1/2 hours away but well worth the drive. Go see the Katla caves! We went in March and it was very cold and windy. Go visit in the spring! The house has a washer and dryer so don't overpack. There wasn't a microwave so plan for that.

A magical home on Hvalfjörður in Iceland

We could not have been happier with our stay at Bára's property on this lovely fjord in August. The 3-bedroom house is utterly private, well-situated, comfortable, and has every amenity that your own home would have. The kitchen is bright and airy, well-equipped for cooking full meals, with a full complement of spices, oil, dishes, pots and pans. The laundry room has a full-sized washer and drying racks, as well as cleaning supplies. The beds in the three bedrooms are comfortable and the TV room is cosy. The hot tub may be filled for each new party that stays in the home and is geothermally heated. We grilled outside on the patio and enjoyed the ever-changing views across the fjord. A nearby hotel offers dinners, though we were happy to cook and eat at home. Glymur Falls hike is a short distance away. We explored the Snaefellsnes peninsula one day, though that was a lot of driving. I recommend driving around this scenic fjord rather than taking the tunnel to arrive at the property. I cannot recommend this property highly enough; we were sorry to leave. Bára was a thoughtful, communicative host and has done an outstanding job with this property.

Traumhaft am Fjord

Das Haus Ferstlika 2 war unsere 1. Anlaufstelle in Island. Den unvergleichlichen Blick auf den Fjord und die umliegenden Berge haben wir aus jedem Fenster genossen. Das Haus ist sehr gemütlich und wir haben uns sofort wohl gefühlt. Gute Ausgangslage für verschiedene Ausflüge: Reykjavik, Hraunafoss, Fjord Umrundung. Darüber hinaus fanden wir Entspannung im HotPot. Gerlinde

Zwei Wochen am Fjord

Mein Mann und ich verbrachten zwei wunderbare Wochen in Ferstikla/Hvalfjördur. Das Haus ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet, es hat alles, was man braucht. Die Aussicht auf den Fjord ist phantastisch. Das Haus liegt einsam und sehr ruhig. Um das Haus herum kann man schöne Spaziergänge durch Wald und dem Meer entlang machen.

Wunderschönes Haus mit atemberaubender Aussicht

Wir haben sehr schöne und unvergessliche Tage in diesem tollen Haus verbracht. Der Check-In hat wunderbar geklappt. Die Kommunikation mit den Gastgebern ist unkompliziert und sehr freundlich. Wir haben uns unglaublich wohl gefühlt Das Haus ist schön eingerichtet. Die Aufteilung der Zimmer ist sehr gut. Die Küche ist top ausgestattet, mit Pfannen und Töpfen sowie Kaffeemaschine, Wasserkocher, Toaster u. v. m. Das Haus verfügt über eine Waschmaschine und einen Trockner in einem separaten Zimmer. Sowohl von der Küche wie auch dem Wohnzimmer hat man einen unbeschreiblich schönen Ausblick auf den Fjord. Wer braucht da Fernsehen, wenn man diesen Blick genießen hat? Die Landschaft rund um das Haus ist fantastisch und man kann gar nicht genug davon bekommen. Der Hot Pot wurde fast täglich genutzt, bei dem herrlichen Winterwitter genau das richtige. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit und kommen gerne wieder.

Amazing home

We stayed a week in September 2022 at this lovely home. For us the home was in a perfect location for both privacy and the ability to travel throughout the southwest and western part of Iceland. Reykjavik is a 45 min drive from the home. The home is super clean and comfortable and we enjoyed the hot tub very much. The beds were great and the kitchen is well equipped. We were fortunate to be able to see the Northern Lights one night at the house. We would love to visit again some day!
