Description from manager

Description

Arguably some of the best-situated cottages on Snæfellness peninsula are for rent in Hellnar (2 hours driving from Reykjavik).

You can rent the cottage Þórabúð (49 m2). There is a unique 360-degree view on the sea and the glacier and the terrain goes all the way down to the coastline.

The cottage holds three bedrooms (three double beds and one single bunker above), a kitchen, a living room, a bathroom and a big outside terrace with furniture and barbecue (gas). There is a high chair for babies and a small playground outside.

NEW high-speed INTERNET for free!!!

-> Cleaning fee and rental of bedsheets+towels is obligatory for 15.000 ISK--- Minimum 2 nights booking is available ----

Þórabúð is located next to two other separate cottages (approx ******* m between). They are all placed remotely on the private property in Hellnar and have a view to the ocean and to the beautiful and mysterious glacier, Snæfellsjökull.

It is really a peaceful and not windy place where the sunset is long and beautiful.

Next to the cottages is the famous "Maríulind" source it is believed to give a healing effect to those who drink the water. There is a beautiful trekking path through the lava between Hellnar and Arnarstapi (3 km walking), which provides ample opportunity for bird and whale watching.

Nearby are several hiking paths, beaches, horse riding, swimming pool, bird and seal watching, cafes and restaurants, golf and organized sightseeing and snowmobile on Snæfellsjökull and caving tours.

There is 1 cafe called Fjoruhusid and a Restaurant at Fosshotel Hellnar so you don't have to spend your time cooking.

Driving directions to the cottage:

In Hellnar, you will have to follow the road towards the harbour to reach the cottage. This is marked as the access road on the Hellnar map.

After you make a booking, I will send you all the information needed for your stay.

What to see around Hellnar:

Here are my favourites things to see when we are there:

Lava from Hellnar to Arnarstapi:

There is a beautiful trail that you can walk in the lava between Hellnar to Arnarstapi. It's about 3 km walk along the coastline.

Really worth seeing nature and the birdlife. You can have a break in one of the café?s in Arnarstapi before heading back to Hellnar. The café ?Fjöruhúsið? by the harbour in Hellnar where the walking trail starts is much nicer though with a spectacular view on the porch.

Londrangar:

These are insane rock formations to see. There is also a lighthouse you can walk to.

You can park at Svalþúfa / Þúfubjarg parking lot and follow the walking trail.

Djupalonssandur:

A beautiful black beach made of rounded stones.

Kirkjufell:

One of the most photographed mountains in Iceland. You can walk around the mountain. I have only walked around the waterfall which is beautiful and taken pictures of the mountain.

Malarrif:

A small museum of the national park and toilets.

Nice nature, fun swing on a long string and also black beach made of rounded stones.

Saxhóll crater:

Saxholl is a crater which is easy to climb since they have created a long staircase. There is a great view over the area from the top.

Swimming pool in Ólafsvik and Lýsuhól

The swimming pool in Olafsvik is quite nice with several outside jacuzzis (also for kids) with a splendid view of the mountain. All swimming pools in Iceland are nice so you should definitely try that.

The swimming pool in Lysuhol is a natural water spring without Chlorine.

This swimming pool is never washed so it grows all kinds of water plants. I do not recommend this for people who want everything clean.

Snæfellsjokull:

Drive-up the glacier to walk on the snow and see the beautiful view.

Gowest offers hiking tours on the glacier. It can be dangerous to walk to the top alone. Check out: www.gowest.is

You can also drive on snow scooters or with a big snow truck on the glacier. Check out: www.theglacier.is

Svöðufoss:

Waterfall between Rif and Ólafsvík. You will see a huge sign by the road. There is a big parking lot and you can actually walk by the left side of the waterfall and up to the top.

Fishing in the sea, whale-watching or bird watching around Grundarfjordur.
