Bjartakot

Things to note Dear guests! Hot tub can‘t be used yet! We apologize for the inconvenience. About this space Cosy and bright cabin in Hvalfjörður ( Whale fjord) built 2023. A great spot to enjoy nature and the beautiful northern lights, still close to the city ( around 50 min. from Reykjavík) and all major attractions in south-west Iceland. It´s a magical place close to many amazing sights like the Golden Circle, Þingvellir national park, Geysir (within an hour away) Glymur, second highest waterfall & great hiking paths (10 min. away), Síldarmannagötur, Mt. Þyrill and so on. The cabin is located in the north of Hvalfjörður in the hill and Mt Brekkukambur at the back, facing the south with beautiful surroundings and ocean view. Even if its only 50 minutes from Reykjavik, it is very private and you truly feel one with nature. You can walk around for hours in total privacy and emerge yourself with nature enjoying the peacefulness of the ocean and the incredible landscape all around the Whale Fjord. In the west are many wonderful attractions like Langjökull glacier and Húsafell lava tunnels and waterfalls. Snæfellsjökull glacier, located at the Snæfellsnes Peninsula with many attractions, like Arnarstapi, Djúpalónsandur, Hellnar, Kirkjuflell (the most photographed mountain in Iceland). Enjoy the northern lights, just outside on the patio or watch them from the warm inside through the extra high glassfront of the house. Anytime between late September to late March is a good time for northern lights hunting. Clean sheets and towels will be provided for all guests when you arrive and the house will be carefully cleaned after guests leave. Please make sure that the bathroom should be always dryed after showering. Best way is to keep the door open or opening the window. You can use whatever you find in the kitchen. Usually you will find sugar, salt and pepper, oil and wine vinegar, some tea and coffee beans for coffee machine. We strongly recommend a 4x4 in winter time (December – March) to reach the cabin. We hope you will enjoy! P.S.: may we kindly draw your attention to the fact that in order to provide you with a more favorable price, we do not charge an additional fee for cleaning. We would be very pleased if you would leave our house more or less tidy. Thank you!
