Iceland family rentals

A lovely apartment tucked away from the busy down town area the atmosphere was great Asti a perfect host .Best if you have a car to get around the apartment was nice and cosy. With washer and dryer a must for travellers Large bed room with kitchenette and a large bathroom laundry. Would recommend to anyone

My Wife and I had a fabulous time at this location, petra was amazing in giving us a lovely expereince. Would highly recommend this location as its just out of town so its a peaceful getaway. Would return here again.

This property has a spectacular view over the fiord and was also lovely and quiet. Directions to the property and other provided information was great and the owner was very responsive to direct contact/requests. Visitors should be aware that the property does not provide very many basic pantry items like other properties we stayed in and there is no iron, TV or fans or cooling options (the house was quite hot a couple of days we were there in early June - you can open the windows but lots of flies and no fly spray). The outdoor pond was in need of a clean. Overall we enjoyed our time at the property and waking up to that view each morning.

Such a lovely property, really homely, very comfortable, great attention to detail. Lovely extras like nice paper napkins and candles for the dinner table. Beds were very comfortable, nice quality linen and pillows. Plenty supplies of toilet rolls, washing up liquid, garbage bags etc. Location is great if you want to stay in a rural location away from the city. It’s riight on the water , the views are amazing and an awesome expanse of sky for seeing the northern lights which we were very lucky to see. It’s a big home we are a family of 5 adults, we were very comfortable with plenty of room.

Our family of 4 (incl two boys aged 14 & 16) stayed 5 nights in Renate’s cottage on the edge of the (at the time of the visit) frozen lake. It was January and freezing outside, but the house was wonderfully warm and cozy. The living room/kitchen was lovely with the views to the lake. Kitchen was well equippped incl oven and 4 burner stovetop. They seem to have thought of just about everything, including sharp knives (thank you!) Two cozy bedrooms, the 2nd one quite small with two single beds. But the big attraction is the large deck with hot tub, a magical experience to soak in 40 degree water while your head and ears are tingling with the cold and you look out to the lake and up to the stars. No TV, but we found we were only too happy to get away from TV for a week, giving the opportunity to listen to the howling wind and feel the elements for which Iceland is famous, and to read and play games in the evening after our daytime excursions. The internet works fine too, though not super fast. The house is very well located to explore the south of Iceland: easy day trips along Hwy 1 to Vik via Seljandfoss & Skogafoss waterfalls, Eyjafjallajökull volcano and Reynisfjara black sand beach; up to Gulfoss and Geysir & the gorgeous Secret Lagoon at Fludir (natural hot thermal pool); and in and around the National Park. Don’t miss the formidable Urridafoss waterfall just 10mins from the house on a side road back towards Selfoss. Also highly recommend the snowmobile tour from Gulfoss incl a visit to an ice cave with snowmobile.is (1 hr drive away). We all loved staying here and would come back in a heartbeat.
