With its glistening white cone visible from Reykjavík on a clear day, Snæfellsjökull is the most potent and enduring symbol of Snæfellsnes. If the glacier weren't there, however, the manifold wonders of Snæfellsnes would stand out just the same. Snæfellsjökull, (1,446 m) an ancient cone volcano, one of finest mountains in Iceland. An impressive sight from as far away as Reykjavík, from where it can be seen in clear weather, seeming to rise from the sea. Many prehistoric eruptions took place in the glacier-covered crater at its peak, and its slopes are covered with lava. The glacier is fairly easy to climb, about 4-6 hours to the highest peak, Þúfur. At the eastern base is a Tourist Association hut, now in ruins. The glacier dominates the area, the western part of which is covered with lava and known as “under the glacier”. In Jules Verne’s novel, A Journey to the Center of the Earth.

This place was beautiful!

The property is absolutely beautiful, could not ask for a better location. It was clean and had plenty of space. The restaurants near by were very good and the host was very quick to respond when I needed help with something. My only disappointment was there was not a bathtub like the pictures showed. host was very quick to respond

Nice place

All in all, a very nice place to stay. Comfortable and a wonderful location. Only improvements I’d suggest are to have paper towels on hand to aid in cleaning at checkout. Kitchen stove wasn’t very clean when we arrived and someone used the best pot under the kitchen sink drain which has a slow leak. Bathroom floor was not clean when we arrived either.

A charming cottage in a captivating countryside. The only disappointment was the stairs. They were too steep for my dad to climb, so he ended up on the couch for our stay.

Amazing!

This lovely place in Hellnar was a wonderful restful place to make our home base during a few days on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. The cottage is lovely and clean and well-equipped. It was easy to explore the national park and there is a lovely hiking trail to the next town Arnarstappi. We cooked at home a few nights and had an amazing dinner at the local hotel (just a short walk down the road). Definitely would stay here again!

Magical location

The Jules Verne cottage is perfectly located, as it offers panoramic ocean views and is near all the major sites that makes West Iceland so special. Highly recommend a stay here. Please be aware that the steps leading up to the two bedrooms are practically vertical and more akin to climbing a ladder. Younger children and older adults could very much struggle to ascend and descend. That being said, everything else about the cottage is perfect and I felt very fortunate to have stayed there.

Fantastic cottage, beautiful location

We had a great stay here. The cottage is very cosy and equipped with everything you need. From the door are beautiful walks along the coast to Arnastapi, or the national park is only a couple of minutes away. Gestur and Berglind were very helpful before we arrived and explained everything we needed to know. I would definitely recommend coming here!

This is lovely, clean, comfortable home in a remarkable location.

This was a great getaway for my wife, 18 year-old son and I. The kitchen is well appointed, the beds were comfortable, and the whole home is easy to live in. Hellnar is really nicely placed to see the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. The surrounding hikes are easy to get to and pretty amazing. Like the rest of Iceland, the weather can be anything in Hellnar, but this house is always a delightfully comfortable place to be.

Beautiful house in a beautiful spot

Very comfortable, warm and well decorated house in a very unique spot near mountains and the sea. Perfect location for exploring the peninsula. I'd stay here again. Worth noting that groceries are 30 minutes away and it is self-cleaning, meaning you must clean when you leave. It was ok for us as we wanted to be this remote and close to nature but if you were in a hurry on checkout day, it could be inconvenient.

Nice option in snaefellsnes peninsula

Cute little house, fully self contained with a great kitchen. The TV room is so cozy. Comfy beds. It is in a group of similar houses, so there are other people around, but the area is very quiet. Had fish soup and coffee daily at the little cafe at the old "harbor". Beautiful hiking along the cliffs easy walk from the house.

There is a huge dvd collection, wifi, and a such a nice reading corner with a huge coach and awesome view:) There is a lot you can do, we willfor sure come again, maybe more than 3 nights. The contact with hosts was very friendly and helpful. Thanks a lot!

We would stay again

Beautiful place and spot! The house had everything we needed and the location was fantastic change of scenery from where we had just traveled on the south coast. Even though the house is self-clean, there were no issues. As others have said, this wouldn't be appropriate for anyone who has trouble with stairs, since the stairs to the bedrooms are quite steep and tricky. But aside from that, we would definitely stay here again!

Amazing Location Away from it ALL. Perfection.

This was a wonderful location and beautiful setting. We really enjoyed this spot as it was a great place to run around from as a base. There is not a lot around, but the next town over has some dining options. If you stay out here be sure to grab groceries before you head to the peninsula. Also make sure you are aware of the "self cleaning" house. We had an early departure and had to work that into our schedule. Overall amazing spot and truly unbelievable views. Would definitely stay here again.
