Family-friendly vacation rentals in Heimaey

We loved the cabin- very peaceful, super well equipped, fantastic hot tub. It was a great base for all the Goldeb Circle highlights. Kristinn was a helpful and responsive host. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend.

Absolutely lovely!! The house is so precious and clearly very loved. The interior was homey and cozy and the location was beautiful. My friend and I were able to drive to tons of amazing natural wonders with ease. The farther away spots were also worth it as the drive was beautiful. The amenities are exactly as promised and the beds were amazing to come back to after a long day. Would definitely stay again! It was a little hard to find the first time, since it was dark out, but in the light and getting familiar with the area, it was easy to find :) Lovely hosts and lovely home!!

The cabins sit on a road away from where reception is, and the instructions were clear to get there. The hot tub does take a while to fill up, since it is filled with geothermal spring water, but it is definitely a must in Iceland. Relaxing in the hot tub after a long day of hiking and traveling the Golden Circle was a perfect ending.

Cozy cabin in beautiful surroundings

We really enjoyed our stay at your beautiful accomodations! It was so peaceful and very comfortable for our family. The cabin was clean and well appointed with everything we needed to make our stay perfect. Our son slept on the pull out couch, so it made the accomodations a bit cramped, but we used the closet for our clothes and kept our luggage in the trunk of our rental car to save space. It was so nice to sit in the geothermal hot tub after a day out and watch the horses on the field in front of the cabin. We would 100% recommend Akurgerdi for anyone sighseeing in the South of Iceland. We were within an hour drive from all the sites we wanted to see.

Heel gezellige woningen met veel privicy midden in de natuur. Prachtig uitzicht over de vallei met rivier. Leuk voor onze tieners, hun eigen huisje en basketbalveldje, jacuzzi, trampoline en buitendouche.

We had a wonderful stay. The house is secluded and very peaceful but also a short drive to the nearest town with everything you need. It is warm and clean with the hot tube an extra bonus!

The barn house was beautifully built and decorated with spectacular views. The skylight windows were perfect for watching for the northern lights. The kitchen had all the basics and some extras like a nespresso machine and pods. We enjoyed cooking there and using the hot tub. The washer and dryer were super helpful. It was a great launching place for the Golden Circle. Stokkseyri is a cute little town with a great local pool. The turf house across the street was fun to explore as was the beach on the other side of the turf wall. It is very near Bakkahestar for highly recommended Icelandic horse rides with a local couple on the beach in Eyrarbakki. Nearby Selfoss has anything you need including an amazing fish market Fiskbud Suderlands for great prices on fresh caught local fish. Kristinn was very responsive and we loved our stay!

One of the best places we stayed while in Iceland. We were able to walk to the private black sand beach to watch the sunset. So picturesque and beautiful. The yurt was very comfortable. The heated beds were perfect. Even caught a glimpse of the northern lights! Cannot recommend this place enough.

Great cabin at a great location, close to lots of nice sightseeing. The cabin itself feels very homey, and had lots to play with for our 1,5 yo old son. Agnes is a great host as well!

This place was peaceful, gorgeous, and exactly what I was looking for. The view was amazing, centrally located near both the golden circle and restaurants and amenities in selfoss. Sigrun and Sigurdur were wonderful hosts. The little stream chuckling beside the place was lovely. I would stay here again.

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt! Das schöne Häusschen liegt in herrlicher isländischer Landschaft. Wer Ruhe und Einsamkeit sucht ist hier genau richtig. Perfekter Ort zum entspannen. Ca 20 min Autofahrt von Selfoss entfernt. Der Blick in die Weite und auf die Ponies war toll! Das Haus war bestens eingerichtet-Küche gut ausgestattet, es hat an nichts gefehlt! Wir kommen wieder! 🇮🇸😍

Stoma’s cottage was a lovely home to come back to after a day exploring. It was warm, cosy and comfortable. The hot tub was particularly welcomed!

Liebevoll eingerichtetes , gut ausgestattetes und sauberes Haus . Sehr ruhige Lage und von hier aus ist der Golden Circle wunderbar entspannt zu erkunden . Es gibt in Selfoss sehr gute Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Trausti ist sehr angenehm und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können die Unterkunft sehr empfehlen.

A beautiful little cabin in a gorgeous area with stunning views. I used this as my home base from which to explore the Golden Circle. The cabin was clean and tidy, the kitchen had all the basics, and there were some lovely touches including chocolate bars, some seltzer, a full carton of milk and cereal. And the heated towel rack was an incredible luxury that I used every day! Sylvia was not there and did not respond to my message telling her what time I would arrive, but her very nice and helpful husband Gylfi greeted me when I arrived and gave me a tour. He also came out to say goodbye when I left and we had a nice chat. I would like to have used the hot tub but it wasn't especially clean. I ended up at the nearby hot pot Secret Lagoon anyway, which was great, so it was not a big loss.

Lovely cabin we saw the Northern lights from the hot tub. private and quiet Relatively close to Golden Circle attractions Selfoss and Hella.

A unique and peaceful experience with mountain views and Icelandic horses and sheep in back field. Convenient location for seeing the sights on the way to Vik.

Great place with lovely views

nous avons passés trois nuits dans un logement très agréable à proximité de nombreux sites. il est très bien équipé, au calme et nous avons pu voir des aurores boréales depuis le canapé à travers les baies vitrées du salon. nous recommandons fortement ce logement ! merci pour l'accueil et les idées de visites à proximité !

This house was perfect. The hostesses met us when we arrived, gave us instructions on things they wanted us to make sure we knew (for safety and such due to the temperatures), and spent around 2 hours giving us a tour and history of the house. It was absolutely perfect for what we needed and they were so thoughtful with all of their recommendations for activities with our children. We 100% recommend this house to others and we will be coming back in the future!

Burma’s beautiful home is ideal for anyone who wants two bathrooms (hard to find in Iceland) and plenty of space. It’s in a quaint small town very close to the Golden Circle and not far from Selfoss, which has more substantial amenities. Easy drive to Gullfoss and Geysir, and a small grocery is within walking distance of the house. The views from the sunroom are beautiful. The kitchen is modern, functional, and spacious. The outdoor area, including the hot tub, is wonderful in the evening. The nearby restaurants, including those in Reykholt, are wonderful! We highly recommend this place for people who want extra space and don’t want to stay in the busy capital city. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat!

We loved our short but sweet stay at this peaceful location. Would definitely return on another trip! A perfect location for Golden Circle or heading further south. Loved it and the surroundings!
