About this cottage rental
Spacious cottage, well located in southern Iceland. The cottage is near Hekla, Landmannalaugar, Þjófafoss, Fossabrekkur, Gjáin, Hjálparfoss, Fjallabakur, and many more famous places, only 20 min drive from Hella and the highway. In the winter there is a possibility to see the famous northern lights. We're on Google Maps: Search for "Afternoon Cottages".
Cozy cottage surrounded by nice nature. You have almost everything you need in this cottage. It's just like a studio apartment. Well-equipped kitchen with a small fridge, 2 elements ceramic cooktop, microwave, toaster, coffee machine, and all the necessary kitchenware. You can use all the coffee and tea you need.

If you like being out of the way Afternoon Cottages is a great jumping off point for adventuring. It is well equipped and very clean. It has a great price point and very basic. It worked great for us because it was simply a place to cook dinner and sleep. You have access to all the necessities about 25 minutes away in Hella. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

The property is a comfy room in the middle of nowhere. Perfect place to hunt the northern lights. The instructions to reach to the property were very clear. We loved it!

Staying here is like staying in the Icelandic Highlands, only you’re only about 15 km from Hella (grocery store, fuel, other amenities). The cottage is spotless and has everything you’ll need for a great night (or several nights)! I wish I had known about Afternoon Cottages sooner so we could have stayed longer, but I’m pretty certain we’ll be back!

We really enjoyed our night at the cottage. It was very comfortable and bigger than some of the hotel rooms we have stayed in. The Wi-Fi in the cabin was fast, so we enjoyed watching Netflix in the evening after a long day exploring. The kitchen was well equipped if we wanted to make anything to eat or drink, but one thing to note is while there was coffee to make, there was no sugar/creamer (so make sure you grab some in Hella if you need it). There was a guide book in the cottage which had recommendations on sights to see, which was great. We incorporated some of them into our trip and they were cool to see. While there were three cottages in a row, we were in number three on the end and felt we had plenty of privacy. Overall, we would stay at the cottages again.
