A Comfortable Home Base to Explore the Snaefellsbaer Peninsula
My wife and I spent four nights in this duplex cottage in the town of Hellnar on the Snaefellsbaer Peninsula. We were greeted by an amazing display of the Northern Lights on our first night. The place was comfortable and quiet and had all the amenities needed to feel like home for a few days. The views are stunning--the sea in one direction and mountains and the volcano that dominates the west end of the peninsula in the other. There are several little places to eat within a 5-10 minutes drive and even more if you're willing to drive 30-45 minutes. Two things to note. First, all the bedrooms are upstairs and the staircase (really more like a ladder) is very steep--going up isn't too bad, but coming down can be a little scary. Second, the bathroom is tight. We adapted and it was fine. Overall, the home was a great place to explore the Snaefellsbaer Peninsula.

Heavenly Northern Lights Stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Lying in the fields surrounding our cottage, we were starstruck with the celestial display every night. Our accommodations were warm and comfortable. We love Hellnar! Thanks again.

A wonderful experience
My wife and I have just returned from an 8 day stay in this delightful property. The cottage itself is spotless and well appointed; the furniture in the sitting area is very comfortable, as is the dining area; the kitchen is well equipped, with a very good selection of dishes, glassware, pots and pans etc. All appliances ( range, oven, dishwasher, washer, dryer, microwave) are modern and in good order. Some rather steep stairs lead to three bedrooms and a cosy sitting area upstairs. The beds and bedding are high quality and extremely comfortable. As this trip was my fifth to Iceland, we felt no need to be on the move and change locations. It was a real treat to spend the entire trip exploring the Snaefellsness Peninsula in depth. We were out and active each day, and agreed that the coastal hikes were ( for us) best enjoyed in inclement weather….it seemed to suit the drama of the landscape. This is simply a wonderful region. Communication with the host was clear and efficient, the check in and out procedures were well explained, and we both agreed that this was one of our favourite trips. Highly recommended !

Wonderful stay in Hellnar!
From the moment we arrived, we felt at home. It was comfortable and peaceful. We had everything we needed and it was a calming and comfortable base to explore this beautiful & awe-inspiring area of Iceland. It was also the perfect home in which to sit with a coffee, listen to music, put together a puzzle, and spend time relaxing with my family. I recommend it highly!

The stay we had was just what the doctor ordered. This was not a leisure trip, but my mom lives in Olafsvik, and not well. So we drove there daily during our stay. The cottage is very clean, and well equipped. Location was amazing!!

Hellnar Cottage
The cottage was perfect for our stay in Snaefellnes Pennisula. The cottage was spacious, clean, and contained everything we needed. The host was very responsive, helpful, and accommodating. The location was beautiful and within an hour’s drive of everything we wanted to see and do (many were within 30 minutes). We would definitely stay here again if given the chance!

Quiet and Comfortable in a Beautiful Corner of Iceland
We stayed four nights at this well-appointed home, and were sorry to leave. The cottage is spacious, warm, and well-equipped. The location seems really remote, but we were surprised at all the interesting things to see in the area. There is a beautiful cove a ten-minute walk away, a great space to lose yourself watching the waves crash on the rocks. The walk from there to Arnarstapi is lovely, the climb up the Bjarnarfoss waterfall was difficult but well worth the effort, and the drive to other picturesque towns was very manageable. Unfortunately, the weather kept us from seeing or visiting the main feature of the area, the Snaefellsjokull glacier just outside the window, but weather is a gamble anywhere in Iceland. The owner of the cottage was prompt in responding to our messages. The cottage had plenty of towels and blankets, a nice shower, washer and dryer, and a good kitchen. The only potential issue with the cottage is the steep set of stairs to the bedrooms - they are not suitable for people with mobility or balance issues, and we found it too difficult to carry our large bags up to the bedroom. So we left them downstairs and had a wonderful stay. We wouldn't hesitate to return or recommend this cottage to our friends.

Perfect space for the peninsula
Loved this spot for our stay on the peninsula. The home was clean and spacious. The views are beautiful and the area is quiet. The kitchen had everything we needed. The only things to know before booking are that you do have to clean the house upon checkout and the timing with laundry etc was a little tricky. Otherwise I would def recommend this!

Iceland family trip
Our family had a fantastic time at the cottage! The accomodations were perfect for a family of 4 and it gave us a relaxing "home away from home". We quickly discovered that the location of the cottage is perfect for exploring the peninsula. Everywhere you go in Iceland is amazing and you could spend an entire week exploring just the peninsula. It is amazing how many historic places are within minutes from the cottage.

Peaceful retreat
Loved my time at this beautiful cottage. So well appointed and every detail thought of. Was looking for a getaway with some solitude and this was the perfect place. Took walks in the area and stopped in the small cafe for a cappuccino one morning and a glass of wine the next afternoon. Had a wonderful meal at the hotel in Budir near the Black Church. Just a great place to stay when exploring the Western Peninsula. Would definitely return!

A really great holiday that we will all remember. Super friendly owner, really helpful advice. West Iceland is mind blowing. Wild, remote and breathtaking. Every view from the house was beautiful.

Great hosts, great property
We booked two cottages in Hellnar to accomodate our parents during our wedding and everything was fantastic. The owners were very friendly and communicative in advance of our stay and we had a great time in the houses, which are indeed very beautifully located and tastefully decorated. Thank you for everything, it was a great experience!

Charming cottage by the sea!
My wife and I and our school-age daughter spent 5 days at Gestur's place in Hellnar. If you're looking for breathtaking views and a load of outdoor activities, this is absolutely the place for you. The cottage is spotlessly clean, stylish, and comfortable, with new appliances and even on-site laundry (very helpful!). The quiet location is a great base point for exploring the western Snaefellsnes and the nearby national park. Gestur was a great host and always just a phone call or text away. Highly, highly recommended - if I could give six stars I would!

Schöne Doppelhaushälfte in toller Lage
Im Haus ist alles vorhanden was man braucht. Durch die Lage des Hauses muss man beim Einkaufen an alles denken, denn man nicht mal kurz los gehen um was zu besorgen. Dafür liegt das Haus in dem kleinen Dorf, eine handvoll Häuser, aber landschaftlich super schön. Der einzige Nachteil ist, dass man selbst die Bettwäsche und Handtücher waschen muss.
