Our cabin was better than we could hope for. Very clean, like new, comfortable bed, hot, powerful shower, towel warmer is a nice touch. Coffee pods included is much appreciated. Landscape and view is wonderful. Enjoyed sheep around cabins and water and mountain view. We would highly recommend this for couples who need a homebase to check out the sites in the south and south east of Iceland. Much to see within 30-90 minutes drive

A perfect location for the golden circle and stunning views. The cottage is warm and cozy with everything you could possibly need. We were able to cook a variety of meals, stopping at a supermarket en route. A very comfortable bed and good shower. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and had the added bonus of being treated to the aurora.

It was a great place to have a cup of tea and soak on the view after a day of hiking.

Fantastic property if you want some seclusion. Very clean with more than adequate accommodations in the property such as extras in the kitchen. We were there for two nights and easily could have stayed longer.

This is the definition of a cozy cabin. I absolutely loved my stay here! The host was amazing to work with and replied quickly to all emails I sent her. This is one of my favourite places I've ever stayed at! Highly recommend. The location, the vibes, and the view are all 10/10!

Delightful cabins in a lovely location. Unfortunately the weather was terrible while we stayed at Austurey but our cabin was a great place to hunker down and let the storm pass. The cabin had everything we needed with good cooking facilities, which was essential given the weather. Lots of sheep wandering around on the sheep farm.

Had the most amazing stay here. Beautifully appointed cottages with panoramic views surrounding. The cottages are amazing inside, warm, cozy and the most incredible bed. Shower is rainfall, bathroom was well equipt and the communication throughout was amazing! Willl recommend for sure - plus we saw the northern lights which is why we picked this location (along with accessibility to things nearby)

Loved our cottage. Beautiful view out windows to lush green pasture and mountains in the distance. Had everything we needed and was a perfect home-base for our tour of the Golden Circle.
Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2022

An excellent property in a great location. Some very minor points were that the toaster & kettle could be doing with a thorough clean but that was in contrast to everything else that were great. It would have been good if the outside pathway lights were on a timer to put them off between midnight & 6 am. These points don't detract from a 5 star review.

The cottage is dreamy! Overlooking the lake, the sunrises and sunsets are GORGEOUS. It’s situated close to many of the golden circle attractions but feels very remote and intimate. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to stay in south east Iceland.

Very cool cabins that seem in the middle of nowhere, but give you good access to Gullfoss and other attractions in the Golden Circle. We stayed there for 2 days and it was very comfortable, very nice. Definitely check out Fridheimar - a restaurant in a greenhouse that specializes in amazing tomatoes.

We loved this location! We stayed here our first two nights in Iceland. Best decision ever. Easy to find, centrally located to what we wanted to do, and a very inviting home. We met the owner as he was working on the property and you can tell he attends to his property. I would stay here again and my friends are visiting next month and they booked here too. It was great to share with them how nice this place was and how happy we were. And, we could watch sheep come and go.

This was one of 3 cottages we stayed at during our visit to Iceland and this was by far our favorite! Very big compared to most others. The place was cute and comfortable with great black out curtains. The bed was very comfortable and the only whole style bed (instead of two twins pushed together) we found in all of our Iceland accommodations. The only comment for improvement was that I personally found the blanket and pillow covering had a pretty look, but an odd texture that made me feel a bit itchy when sleeping. But we still enjoyed the cottage and the atmosphere of the surrounding farm.

We had a great stay at the cottages. The sheep just outside our door were very cool. The cottage was small but made good use of the space and was very comfortable. Blackout blinds on every window made it easy to sleep despite the 24-hr daylight. The only (minor) concern I had was the bedding... The pillowcases and quilt cover had a rough textured decorative pattern which was a bit uncomfortable. I had to remove the pillowcase. Still, 2 thumbs up and highly recommended.

Eine tolle Unterkunft mit schöner Aussicht. Es war sehr sauber und gut ausgestattet, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können es jeden weiterempfehlen:)

Wir waren bereits zum zweiten Mal in dieser Unterkunft. Die Größe ist für ein Paar absolut ausreichend, das Bett sehr bequem, die Fernsehen Aufhängung sehr gut durchdacht und auch die kleine Küchenzeile sehr hilfreich, um kleinere Gerichte selber zu zubereiten. Alles sehr sauber, warm und auch die Lage gefällt uns sehr, da abseits gelegen, aber alles sehr schnell zu erreichen. Sehr einfacher Check in und Checkout, kurz drum, rund um eine klare Empfehlung von uns
