Perfect Opportunity To See The Aurora
We have been guests at the Afternoon Cottages twice. We stayed in #4 the first time and #5 the second time. They are mirror images of each other. Everything was clean and the location is perfect for seeing the Aurora as long as the sky is clear. Communication with the property manager was easy and effortless and on our first stay we even extended it by a day. I highly recommend the Afternoon Cottages.

We absolutely loved the cottage and wished we could have stayed more than one night. We stayed our last night in Iceland in this modern cottage that had everything we needed! The best part was the amazing Norther Light show we were able to see from the porch. Would recommend this place to anyone who loves to stay off the beaten path and enjoy the beauty of Iceland’s natural landscape!!!

One Night Stay
We were absolutely taken back on how great this place was. It was the perfect size and we got to see the Northern Lights, which was amazing. The bed was comfy and the tv was a night touch. Our only complaint is when you search the location on VRBO, the "ping" for it shows it quite a bit closer to Hella than what it really is. The road was very rough and it took us about 30 minutes to get there from Hella. Overall the stay was fantastic though!

Amazing property!
My cottage was exactly as advertised and was beautiful, comfy, and a wonderful place to stay! There’s nothing Elvar can really do about this, but it’s important for folks to be aware that the road to the property switched from paved, to gravel, and then back to paved, and then back to gravel for the last couple of kilometers! :) keep that in mind when driving there. The kitchen was well equipped, but it’s a small kitchen of course so be aware and don’t bring fine dining cuisine to cook! It would be nice to have a list of items that one can expect in the kitchen, I think there’s a few items on the listing, but a full list would be nice. It would have helped with my food shopping plans! Elvar and anyone else working on the social media and website presences of this property are top notch! The check in “booklet” on the website was wonderful! Additionally, communication was a breeze, and they were prompt at answering questions and addressing concerns- both before I arrived and while I was staying at the property. I would highly recommend this as a place to stay. Additionally, I was able to see the Northern Lights on my last night there! While Elvar can’t control whether the lights are visible, I can confirm this property is great for chasing the lights :) Bed was comfy, and I appreciated being able to use Icelandic Netflix- I got to see shows I wouldn’t normally see!

Great Cabin
Great cabin and very accommodating and responsive management. The only thing was the hot water wasn’t really hot.

Quiet, natural, big skies
Big open skies, quiet and private among the natural ruggedness of Iceland. Inside we were greeted with a big comfortable bed with large windows to admire the beauty outside. The unit we stayed in had a waterfall in the distance. The kitchenette had all we needed (coffee and tea) and there was plenty of hot water. It was quite an adventure to get to the housette: 4 miles of gravel road but the payoff was worth it. 4x4 recommended (just in case).

Incredible stay!
This property is beautiful! It has everything you need for a short stay with a comfortable bed, clean space, and kitchen utensils. It's in a very remote location (short portion of the road there is gravel) which would be ideal for viewing the Northern Lights. Unfortunately it was cloudy while we were there, but if you had a clear night you would certainly have a beautiful view. The nearest gas station/restaurants are 30 minutes away in Hella. Definitely recommend for a quiet and beautiful place to stay!

Great Place / Great Price
We spent half our time in Reykjavik and wanted to spend half our time out of the city. This place was perfect. Close enough, convenient, and had all the amenities we could want for being more rural. Please note, there is about a 4 mile stretch of gravel road to reach this location but it is well maintained and we never had an issue. This place was great for visiting places in the south / south east of Iceland.
