Holiday rentals in Arnarstapi

We had a really lovely stay at Margret’s place. It was clean and warm and absolutely beautifully decorated - felt very special. The beds were incredibly comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed. There was a lot of space for 4 people - a really relaxing end to our holiday. We had one bright day and two wet cloudy ones. No northern lights sadly but it was fun sitting out in the hot tub under a starry sky. We went for a wonderful family beach ride at Stori Kambur which is just 10 minutes east. In the afternoon we walked to Hellnar along the coast and saw lots of humpback whales. One even breached right out of the water. Take binoculars! Sunset near the light house was gorgeous. Everything is very close by on the peninsula so it was easy to see a lot. On our last morning we drove up to the north coast and took a whale watching tour - we were so lucky to see lots of orcas and another humpback whale. The peninsula is a great place to explore and Margret’s house was a perfect base.

Extremely well stocked with supplies and all sorts of gadgets and home comforts. Christmas decorations and a small gift for each of the children along with a bottle and chocolates were such a thoughtful and nice touch as we were staying over Christmas Day. Just bear in mind it’s a tourist attraction so if you don’t lock the door you may get an unexpected visitor. We really enjoyed our stay. Lots of character and very homely.

We had an amazing stay in the cabin. The setting is gorgeous and peaceful, but still an easy drive to the supermarket (always good when travelling with hungry children). Close drive from the airport and easy to access the major roads for exploring by car. We would love to go back.

perfect cabin with everything you need and warm and cozy, great hosts and would highly recommend their cabin

Checkin was a breeze and Alfa was extremely helpful throughout our entire stay. Truly a beautiful home with everything you need, especially if you’re traveling with kids. Views from the home are absolutely stunning and the interior is very warm and welcoming. My family and I enjoyed our stay and would absolutely love to visit again.

Right on the beach! Had a great night and had a beautiful view of the northern lights!

Kristin‘s place was fully stocked, extremely easy to find and flexible timing when checking in and checking out! It was peaceful and a beautiful location. I would recommend this to anybody who has a family or traveling with multiple families.

Such amazing views in this super cozy cabin! We felt right at home, and was a great location near Borgarnes. Super easy to hop on the road and go sight-see, then come back to a nice warm home after.

Our family of four (2 adults, 2 teens) stayed here for a week in April, 2025. We found the log cabin the perfect home base for our trip. We loved starting our day with coffee on the deck, admiring the views and birdwatching and ending it on the deck in the hot tub with the Aurora Borealis overhead. Downtown Selfoss is about 25 mins away and there are two grocery stores and a bunch of restaurants. Check out the food hall. It’s an adorable city!
