Óskar and Emma
Welcome to Backyard Village. The cottages has one bedroom with a family bunk bed that sleeps three people, a bathroom with a shower and a living area with a pullout sofa bed that is suitable for two children to sleep, combined with a fully equipped kitchen nook. The cabin can accommodate 5 people max. It has a private entrance as well as a door that opens out to the backyard patio. Wellness area contains of Hot Tub, Wood fired sauna and outdoor shower. The sauna is free to use for our guests but we appreciate donations for the firewood that is on site. Excellent for a family stay or as a romantic getaway.
We, along with our three children live in the main house on the property and will often be available to help during your stay.
The Cottages are located in our backyard in the small and charming town, Hveragerði, 40 km south of Reykjavík city. Hveragerði is a health and wellness focused little town, known for being the first to use geothermal energy for green house agrigulture. The town has green public areas, numerous geothermal springs, greenhouses, family run restaurants, a food hall with street food restaurants and a cafe, two great geothermal public pools, the Geothermal Park within short walking distance from the cabin and a grocery store/wine shop/bakery/tiny earthquake museum – all in the same building (15 minute walk from the house). The location is ideal if you want to get an early start on day trips around the south coast or the Golden cirlce. There are horse rentals close by and the Reykjadalur hot river hike is almost at the front door. You can quite easily walk from the cabin to the famous natural baths and back in one day.
