About this property

Hvalfjarðarsveit Cottage with Large Wooden Deck, Mountain View + Great Location

  • Remote, quiet location, yet only 40 minutes from Reykjavík.
    Our Cottage is located in West Iceland with a view over Lake Eiðisvatn, the Hvalfjörður fjord and the spectacular mountains around the fjord.
    It's behind the small village of Melahverfi, which is signposted on the ring road and around 15 minutes away from Akranes.

    In autumn and winter, this is also a good place to watch the Northern Lights.
    Although the view is wonderful, you can't help but see an aluminium plant a few kilometres away. We don't mind this sight - we live in our house next to the Cottage.

    Our cottage has a spacious living, dining and kitchen area, 1 bathroom (sink, toilet and shower) and 2 bedrooms. In one bedroom can sleep 3 people, the other 2 people.
    The large veranda with panoramic view also invites you to linger.

    You can park your car on our property directly in front of the parking sign for guests.
    The path on the left side leads past our house, directly to the Cottage.

    If you have questions or need help - no problem ...
    We live next door - you can contact us at any time !
