    We had a wonderful stay at this cottage! The cottage was clean and stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The view outside was beautiful with sheep grazing in the field. The central location was perfect for golden circle...

    The location was simply spectacular! Grazing sheep all around us and snow-capped mountains in the distance. The quarters are clean and cozy, and almost everything met our needs.

    The cottage was exactly as described. It was quiet and clean. The owners were super responsive. The Weber BBQ was greatly appreciated. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.
  • Lorraine

    The cottage was sooo nice! It was like being in a tiny house. Clean, modern,warm and inviting with so much privacy. Lots of sheep out front. Had WiFi and TV with Netflix. Kitchenette was well equipped and there was a grill if you wanted to barbecue.
  • Gail

    The unit was perfect. Good bed, great shower, and just the right amount of cooking utensils and equipment. Blackout sheets were very helpful since there were only a couple hours of darkness. So much fun to watch the sheep come up in the evening.

    Great views, very comfortable and luxurious furnishings, responsive and helpful hosts. Internet was fast too - was needed for work. Will definitely return during summer or to try for the northern lights.

    The cottage was exactly as represented. The location and views exceeded our expectations. Also we were able to view the northern lights three times, and one time was exceptional.

    The cottage was beautifully designed and efficient. The extensive windows allowed for great views of this serene and beautiful isolated location. The bed and couch were very comfortable. The location was a short scenic drive to area attractions....

    This is the best place we stayed on our two weeks trip. Loved the location with the sheep roaming freely in front of our windows.

Newly built cottages with large windows and therefore providing excellent views over the lake Apavatn and the surrounding mountains. Perfect for couples looking for a romantic escape in this serene and picturesque area. During summer friendly sheep are roaming outside and during winter guests can visit the sheep shed during specific hours. We offer service for travelers due to current travel restrictions (food delivery and such). Our cottages are suited for those that need to in quarantine. And we clean and sterilize according to government rules and conditions.
We started building the cottages the late summer of 2017 and they were ready in June 2018. We try to assist our guests in any way possible.
The area is beautiful and situated within the Golden circle area, therefore close to many famous landmarks. The Austurey cottages are off the main road so you will not experience much traffic. It is relatively close to Laugarvatn (8km) which has many restaurants and a pool spa (Laugarvatn Fontana).
