Family-friendly holiday rentals in Sveitarfélagið Ölfus

Elsa's house is the perfect place to stay while exploring the golden circle and south of Iceland. The house is very cosy but definitely not too small for a family of five, well equipped and in walking distance from the beach. The hot tub is just amazing and also has a really great view. We stayed for a week and enjoyed every minute of it.

We had a fantastic stay at this property! The house boasts a stunning modern design with lots of natural light, and it's located in a peaceful yet convenient area. The garden and pool were highlights, providing a perfect space to relax and unwind. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to cook meals, and there was plenty of space for everyone to feel comfortable. Our host, Sigridur, was incredibly helpful and accommodating, ensuring we had everything we needed for a great stay. Highly recommended for a relaxing getaway!

A beautiful home near Reykjavik (10 min drive) & conveniently located near highways for easy travel. Extremely clean and comfortable, amenities as described, amazing back porch and hot tub — felt right at home! Guðjón and his family were incredible hosts and made our first trip to Iceland a VERY special one! Shout out to Tommy & Tia, the house cats — we fell in love! Thank you again for everything; we cannot wait to return!

We stayed at Anna-Ellen apartment for 7 days. After daily trips to explore beauties of Iceland, we were getting back to the apartment with a pleasure. It very quickly got fill as home. The apartment is large, convenient and bright. It is well equipped for family stay, with all needed amenities. Anna-Ellen is very responsive and helpful host. Bottom line - we've really enjoyed our stay and thankful to great hospitality

We had an amazing time at Emma and Oskar’s place. The location was serene and breathtaking. Beautiful views of the water and wildlife. The home was extremely cozy, tasteful, and had everything we could ask for. The deck had gorgeous views, a wonderful hot tub, the water was always hot, the beds were comfortable and the entire place had a cozy feel. Hosts gave very clear check in instructions which made it a breeze. The home is close to everything you need. We had an amazing time and highly recommend to anyone traveling to Iceland.

Had a fantastic stay at Gunnar's cottage. Everything we needed was at hand in the cottage. It was warm and cozy and and perfect for relaxing in the evening. We used the hot tub a couple of times and it was great. Managed to see the northern lights during our stay and it's a perfect location for seeing them and travelling around the Golden circle. Would definitely stay again.

The barn house was beautifully built and decorated with spectacular views. The skylight windows were perfect for watching for the northern lights. The kitchen had all the basics and some extras like a nespresso machine and pods. We enjoyed cooking there and using the hot tub. The washer and dryer were super helpful. It was a great launching place for the Golden Circle. Stokkseyri is a cute little town with a great local pool. The turf house across the street was fun to explore as was the beach on the other side of the turf wall. It is very near Bakkahestar for highly recommended Icelandic horse rides with a local couple on the beach in Eyrarbakki. Nearby Selfoss has anything you need including an amazing fish market Fiskbud Suderlands for great prices on fresh caught local fish. Kristinn was very responsive and we loved our stay!

I came to Versalir Cabin for a few nights with my husband and our two small children. The cabin was very comfortable especially on our first night when it was raining and very windy, the accommodations were SO cozy! The cabin was exactly as pictured and described and the setting was beautiful and peaceful. I expected to have a harder time finding the cabin as the instructions for getting there mentioned that my GPS may only take us 90% of the way there, and that I should rely on the written directions for the rest of the way. We did print out the written directions however my apple maps took us right there anyway so that was a relief and made it easy for the rest of our trip as we were coming and going to be able to rely on GPS. The location was under 20 minutes to downtown Selfoss and probably 15 minutes to Kerid Crater, under an hour to many other main locations one would want to visit as well like Gullfoss and the Geysir. We would DEFINITELY stay here again! :)

We could not have asked for a better place to stay and the hosts were amazing. The location is great-just a few minutes to downtown and super close to restaurants and grocer store as well. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and helped us out in so many ways-whether it was something with the house or reykjavik/iceland in general. There was no coffee machine in the house and they got us a french press the very next day! They truly made our stay so much more comfortable and we were very grateful. Would 10/10 recommend staying here!

Excellent location - 20 minute walk into the downtown core, and there is a bus stop right out front (the buses are incredibly easy to use!). Great views. Quick walk to Nettó or Bónus to stock up on groceries. The free, easy, open parking situation combined with being located right on the edge of the downtown core make it perfect for visitors who want to spend time in Reykjavik while also having a convenient base for road trips. Nina is a good host. Would stay again!

Asta was so helpful with local recommendations, and her house was clean welcoming. We had everything we needed right at our fingertips. The sauna and hot tub were great for relaxing. The location was perfectly central for exploring the Reykjavik peninsula.

Excellent place ! Great host ! Good location Well stocked kitchen and bathroom Thank you

Rakel’s home is like staying at a family member’s home while they are away! So warm and welcoming, and such a great environment for kids. So many cool toys for a kid to play with and very sweet guest rooms safe and comfortable for adults traveling with kids. Her home his warm, modern, clean, efficient and so close to Iceland’s many day trip attractions, and extremely close to Reykjavik! The neighborhood is quiet, and ideal. You can walk to the grocery store, a fast food restaurant and a great pizza parlor called Flaties! Worth the price. The space is magnificent. Washer dryer great, TV channels and streaming provided, and of course the hot tub! I would stay there again, and hope to visit their beautiful Iceland for a longer period soon! Rakel was gracious to let us use their city stroller too, which was immensely helpful! Loved our stay at their lovely home!-Jennifer

The house and host were wonderful from start to finish. We loved our stay and time in Iceland and it was the perfect base. Location brilliant with a car. Owner was very responsive and always available on message. Didnt hear anything from the neighbour who lives in an apartment within the property all week. Christmas decorations all over the house and a Christmas tree made us feel at home over the festive period. There's a great open space behind the house that we used for sledging. The laundry room was a godsend for drying outdoor wear. Highly recommend

Very warm house,comfortable you have supermarkets and a very quiet area. The location is great for taking trips outside Reykjavik. Loved it!

Great house to stay near golden circle . Comfortable rooms , beautiful tub , awesome house vibes . Definitely recommended

Björgvin is a great host and his place was everything our group was looking for. Remote house, with a hot tub, grill and good vibes. The location and the view from the terrace is beautiful with only a few minutes drive to the nearest town. Björgvin was really friendly and offered his assistance if we needed anything which was a nice touch.

What a great find! The place was perfect and the rooms were spacious, warm and comfortable. The kids loved the hot tub and I loved the books! I read a Steinbeck book which I greatly appreciated. The kitchen was beautiful as was the sunroom. I imagine the sunroom would be the perfect room to see the Northern Lights. The neighborhood was peaceful and we even got to spend a little time with one of the neighbors who was very friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were very spacious, clean & nicely designed. If you are looking for horseback riding our kids LOVED “Riding Tours South Iceland.” Our stay was absolutely wonderful. I would love to return there someday.

We loved our short but sweet stay at this peaceful location. Would definitely return on another trip! A perfect location for Golden Circle or heading further south. Loved it and the surroundings!

Photos were very accurate. The view in the morning was so pretty, and the house wasn’t hard to find. Jonina wasn’t available in person, but her sister helped direct us to the cabin at night, with no problem at all, and was very helpful. We all enjoyed our stay!

A spacious, well lit apartment with great views and walking distance from the city centre. Edda was a very responsive and helpful host. The apartment was equipped with everything needed for a long trip to Iceland. We would definitely stay there again!

What a wonderful time we have had! Amazing hosts, gorgeously warm & comfortable apartment, hot powerful shower which has been so welcoming after a long day of exploring & the most comfortable bed ever!! Check in at the apartment before you visit the supermarket (Kronan is the best!), as we found a wealth of condiments & bathroom toiletries already there which was much appreciated. It has been magical visiting Iceland: beautiful waterfalls, whale watching, glaciers, geothermal bathing & more. We’ve loved every single minute & can’t wait to come back! Thank you Kate & Siggy. Xx

This is one of the nicest Air B&B’s I’ve ever stayed at. The house was so nice, well stocked, and really close to everything. The extra half bath was nice to have as well. We made good use of the hot tub after our long days of exploring. Would recommend this place to others.

Everything was perfect! The extra house was perfect for my mom to have her private space. Everything was very clean. We enjoyed all the items needed in the kitchen for cooking in. We also enjoyed the sudoko puzzle book and games. The windows are amazing! We also watched some movies due to the rainy weather.
