This was my fifth stay in Snorri and Thordis' place in Hellnar and it was as wonderful as ever. They are so welcoming and contact is really easy . Everything starts so well with a welcome document that explains eveything clearly and contact numbers in case of a problem. The house is so cozy and it is probably the best equipped house for cooking I've ever stayed in in Iceland. It really has everything you need and more. You can tell this house is lived in as it has a homely feel about it with lovely books and decoration, and of course wifi. The house has a traditional look to it, unlike many places you stay in Iceland, which is lovely for the photos.
It is superbly situated within 5 minutes of Londrangar for wonderful sunsets and Arnastpai for sunrise, sunset or just marvelling at the rock formations and the wild seas. The famous Djupalonssandur beach is really close by and even the Kirkjufell is pretty close. If you want to catch pictures of the northern lights, you just step outside and within 50 metres, you are out of any street lighting and you can capture wonderful images of the pyramid mountain the Stapafell with the northern lights above. For me it is the perfect place to visit this magical peninsula and the perfect house to sit out any wild storms. I have stayed in many places in Iceland, but I just keep coming back here and will no doubt be back again. I really recommend staying for a week here to throughly appreciate the place.
This is a lovely home, well-outfitted, and very cozy! The area feels remote, but there are a variety of activities and beautiful places to explore, and it is a short drive from Reykjavik! Great communication! Weâd definitely return!
Alles wie annonciert. Haus in kleiner "Architektenkolonie" von 10 verschiedenen HÀusern -die anderen stören gar nicht. Bezaubernder Strand mit "eigenem Seehund" Snörli dazu. Sehr sehr charmant. Haus perfekt ausgestattet und rundweg sympathisch.
We could hike a lot. Apartment has a splendid ambiance. Supermarket is on other side of peninsula. Not everything available and quite pricy but quality is good. Better bring food from bigger town.
A very quiet, cozy, and fully equipped holiday home by the sea, nestled in the stunning nature at the foot of SnÊfellsjökull. It is a perfect starting point for day trips to the nearby national park or to Kirkjufell. Communication with the owner, Snorri, was smooth and prompt. Absolutely recommended for 2 to 4 people. We would gladly return anytime.
We had a wonderful time staying 4 nights in this unique home on the Snaefellsnes peninsula. It was very cozy, even with cold winds outside. The kitchen is small, but well-equipped. This worked fine for our group of 3, as we only made breakfast there. The beds were comfortable, and there are light darkening shades on the bedroom windows. The staircase to the second floor is steep, but we were careful and had no incidents.It was a great base from which to access the sights.
Location is wonderful for those who want a quiet retreat with access to hiking and sightseeing in Snaefellsnes National Park. The house is well maintained and perfectly equipped for family dinners and comfortable evenings after outdoor activities.
This absolutely stunning home was perfectly nestled in between mountains and ocean. The home has all the comforts needed to feel at home.
Beds were very comfortable, the views from every window, very easy access & check in.
We loved our stay! Shower and hot water was just perfect!
We will be back!
Thank you,

We had a wonderfull time in Iceland and this cottage made our vacation very comfortable. It was the perfect place to get home to after a long and, sometimes, cold day outside. The cottage was clean, all necessities are there and it is lovely decorated. It made us fell "at home" during the 1,5 weeks we spend there. Thanks for Thordis and Snorri for sharing this lovely cottage with us.
I have stayed in VRBO rentals all over Europe and North America and this was by far my favorite location. Very few affordable homes have the Atlantic Ocean out the front front windows and mountains (and a glacier) out the back. The Snaefellsnes Peninsula is truly a magical place and should not be missed. And this beautiful house was absolutely perfect and beautifully situated. Thank you Snorri and family for being such wonderful and accommodating hosts. We will come again.
Wonderful house surrounded by stunning countryside
The very cozy house is perfectly equipped and located in the middle of a magnificent scenery. All those who are looking for tranquility, pure nature and detachment from civilization will be happy here. A wonderful place!
Between the mountains behind the house and the ocean in front of the house, the views canât be beat. Easy to get to all the points of interest on the peninsula. Out of the way of most of the hustle and bustle of a busy city, which is what we like.
The home was wonderful and in a stunning setting. Quiet location with ocean view to front and mountain (volcano) view at back. We all loved our stay. Would highly recommend to others.
This home is rural, but in a beautiful setting! It is also well stocked with games and drawing supplies for the kids. It was a great place to stay while exploring the western end of the Snaefellsnes peninsula. And there was a grocery store, pool, and playgrounds only 35 minutes away.
We loved this house- not only the comfy, well-allocated house but also the location. close to the peninsula and all of the things to see but we could also walk out the door to take hikes. hope to come back some day :)
