From the owner

Kalastaðir is located only 55 km from Reykjavík in a beautiful landscape. The location is ideal for day trip sightseeing tours to tourist attractions in the South and West part of Iceland e.g. Blue Lagoon, Reykjavík, Gullfoss, Geysir, Thingvellir, Snæfellsnes and Borgarfjordur. The cottage is close to the sea and the view is breathtaking. If you want to take a brake from driving and enjoy what the area has to offer, you can enjoy a stroll by the sea and watch the seals play along the shore. The local swimmingpool is also close by and the local golf course. In the area are many hiking routes and there is a lake close by where you can buy fishing permit. You can buy groceries and other things you might need in Akranes which is only about 15 km from Kalastaðir.

The cottage is for 2-4 persons. It´s very well equipped with free WiFi and special care has been taken to make sure that it offers everything needed for a nice stay. The bedroom has a double bed and a closet and 2 persons can sleep on a sofa in the living room. The kitchen although small, is well equipped and you can prepare a good meal there. The bathroom has a shower. Outside the cottage there is a hot tub, gas grill and easy chairs where you sit and admire the beautiful landscape and the sea. Bed linen and towels provided at no extra costs.

Please note smoking is not allowed in our cottage.
