Great place

Not too remote and not too close to the city, makes it a great place to try to view the northern light from the comfort of the home. Has a hot tub that you can relax in while waiting for it to appear at night.

Fantastic property!!!

I have nothing negative to say about this property. They have thoughtfully equipped the house with everything you could possibly need. The hot tub is a bonus and we used it to watch for the Northern Lights every night. All communication before and after arrival was answered very quickly. The setting is gorgeous along the banks of a river, a view enjoyed through the large glass windows. I would highly recommend this property even though it's a bit of a drive from the city. It's well worth it!!

Great space

The house was clean and had everything that we needed for the kitchen and bathroom. It was perfect for our big group and the views from the house were beautiful. The location of the house was also great because we were close to many of the popular things to see in Iceland but also far enough away from the more populated areas which meant we got to see the northern lights.

Aurora watching from the geothermal pool

Another amazing house and stay for our entire family; children, adults and seniors. The views from the house are something else and the private geo thermal pool absolutely the best. Enjoyed it an entire day while taking a break from sight seeing as windy -4C gave us that excuse. We were blessed with seeing the Aurora every night from the pool - indescribable amazing experience! Both houses we stayed in by Heidrun and Rob made our family iceland trip so much more special! Thank you 😀

Gorgeous setting and a great place to decompress at the end of a long day!

The house was clean, the kitchen was nicely appointed, and there was a large table for all of us to sit around after a fun day. We didn't spend as much time at the house as we would have liked, but when we were there we appreciated the hot tub, the hot showers, and the views. We used the house as our base camp to explore southern and western Iceland. We saw the northern lights too! Great place!

Great for family reunions

I rented this property with my siblings and all of our families. Wow, what an amazing find. The location was very central in Iceland so getting to spectacular views in the Golden Circle was very quick and even pretty easy to get to further destinations like Vik. The house itself was incredible, very modern and easy to navigate. There were a lot of us, but the layout was such that we were able to each have our own space. One note is whoever gets the upstairs room won't have a door, so no late night cards unless they're playing too! The view off the back was absolutely incredible and something we'll keep with ourselves forever. Communication was excellent throughout the process, would definitely recommend.

Serene, Modern Comfort

We stayed five nights in April 2024. We were treated to the Northern Lights our first night. The house is spacious, clean and modern. The beds are very comfortable. It sleeps ten in beds. The area is super quiet. The hot tub is pristine. The host was great and had good documents. The trash/recycling system could be a little more well documented. We did the golden circle, two hot springs and the southern beaches (where we saw Puffins!) Great stay, thanks so much!

Incredible house, amazing views, great location

This is an incredible house with stunning views. We spent every night gathered around the kitchen table enjoying home cooked meals before enjoying the Northern Lights from the warmth of the hot tub surrounded by a gorgeous snowy landscape. The location is excellent for exploring the South Coast, from Selfoss to the Golden Circle to Vik. The neighboring towns have some good spots to eat, with friendly people throughout willing to make a local suggestion. All in all a perfect base for a special trip in Iceland. Would return for a visit any time! Note: Although the listing says Selfoss, the house is actually about 30-40 minutes outside of Selfoss, and about 90 minutes from Reykjavik. Not a big deal at all but something to be aware of when planning your trip.

Incredible Property in Iceland

Everything about our stay in Iceland was perfect. The house was great and ideal for us wanting to stay in the countryside and be able to venture out and see Iceland during the day. We were able to explore the area and come home at night to a great home to stay in. One of the nights we were able to enjoy the Northern Lights from the Hot Tub on the deck. It was truly all we could ask for.

Our family chose this house due to its proximity to the Golden Circle and the fact it was a bit off the grid - it did not disappoint.
