10/10 Exceptional

The Hela cabin was a wonderful stay for 3 people, it was charming and cozy. There were also horses living on the other side of the fence, we had a joy feeding and petting them! The location was also a plus, far enough from town to enjoy the stars and country atmosphere, but near enough for a short drive for meals and groceries (~10 mins).

One Night in the Country

Check in at Alfastein was stated as 6pm and that’s all the information we received initially. Luckily, we found Agust’s phone number and he helped us locate the key to let ourselves in. Soon after, Keli, the host came to welcome us and made sure we were settled. He made us feel very welcome, since we had to leave very early in the morning he fixed up the coffee for us and even offered a huge bag of bread to feed to the horses. This was such a memorable activity. We also got to see some Aurora although it was a bit cloudy. The whole house was very clean, full of interesting items, the beds were incredibly comfortable after a long day and we were warm all night. I wish we could’ve stayed here several more days. Thank you for your hospitality.

Quiet location - great host!

Our host was very gracious and really took care of us. The room and WC area were great. The breakfast provided was a feast. And, we talked about some of the things we were still hoping to see and his knowledge of the country provided some direction that was really helpful, allowing us to see more of what we had read might be possible.

Cute and cozy cabins. Host was very pleasant and a wealth of information about Iceland as he is well travelled. Breakfast was delicious and abundant. Appreciated the small signs to help find the property as otherwise would have been challenging to locate.

The owner is friendly and fun. We arrived after 10pm but he was waiting for us there. The best part is he shared lots of his adventures and photos. We were so inspired by his interesting life. And we had great chat with other passengers too during the nice free breakfast. This is the best stay of our Iceland trip! We loved it

Peaceful Stay in the Country

We stayed in one of the cottages. It was very quiet and comfortable. There are no restaurants for dinner near by so plan ahead. The breakfast was included and had a good selection of things to eat. It was served at a big table in the main house and gave us a chance to meet the host and the other guests.

What a great place!

This was my favorite place I stayed in my trip around Iceland. It was such a cozy and comfortable space. The breakfast was delicious and I had a great time conversing with our host. I would definitely like to stay here again when I visit the country.

Our host was gracious, laid-back, and wonderful to talk to! We were so happy to have a different kind of experience while staying in Iceland and not just being stuck in hotels. The cottage was rustic and breakfast was delicious. The bed wasn’t the most comfortable but it was good enough for a few days. We loved the area.
