    This is a beautiful and elegant deco house. Every place is amazing and pleasant. Especially the view from the dining table, really impressive! And the sea birds make this place more special.

    Very clean cottages, loved the surroundings! Beautiful rural setting with all the modern amenities. The owner was lovely and so helpful. Beware the dogs, they are so cuddly and adorable, and they insist on the obligatory game of fetch - and you are a hard hearted person if you don't oblige :)

    The location of this place being in the far corner of the town, so have to go thru bit of port/industrial area, but that is over come by all the other things the place had to offer.

    We had an excellent stay in Apartment by the Sea, which quite spacious, nicely furnished with modern amenities, well stocked kitchen and excellent views opening up to the waterfront, great views of sunset and sunrise and close proximity to shops & restaurants in Hofn. The hosts / owners were also quite friendly and welcomed us when we arrived to show us around and made us feel comfortable.

    Perfect Cottage by the Sea
    • Leisure trip
    • Group
    • Two-Bedroom Apartment
    • Stayed 2 nights

    We absolutely LOVED this cottage by the sea. I call it a "cottage" because (in my mind) instead of an "apartment" it seems to describe this freestanding lodging (with no other lodging nearby) better to me. This two bedroom, living room, dinning/kitchen, bath (with washing machine) was perfect for the 3 of us. There was plenty of room to relax without feeling cramped for space. As you approach the cottage, the area looks a bit industrial but don't let that put you off. Once you see the sign "Apartment by the Sea" you feel like you are in a time gone by. The cottage offers privacy, with an unbelievable view of the sea dotted with islands. On a calm morning it is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee. We even spotted a seal taking a morning swim. There are several lovely restaurants within walking distance and the town has some shops and walking trails to enjoy. This town doesn't feel touristy but rather authentic Iceland. The owner met us at the apartment with the key and answered our questions.....as he was at the shop next door.....that was a surprise bonus.... the owners also own and operate a lovely boutique shop connected to the cottage giving 20% discount to renters. The building is a historic fishing processing site and built to withstand the strong winds common in this area. There are pictures inside of the original use of the building...oh, what would those fishermen think now. We loved this town and this lodging and highly recommend it.

    Nothing, we loved everything!!

    Wonderful apartment with a beautiful view of the mountains and harbor!! We met Olöf and Johann upon arrival- they run the attached shop and were very friendly (the shop is very cute and I could have spent a lot of money there if I had more room in my suitcase!!). The property is located on the outer edge of the harbor/industrial part of the town, though it was a quick walk (and even quicker drive) to the quaint restaurant area. The apartment was spacious, very clean and had everything we needed and more for a one night stay in Hofn. It was also very peaceful with no neighbors or traffic. I wish we’d had more time here! Would definitely recommend and would come back again if in the area.

    This is a great place to stay. Two bedrooms, a great living room and a kitchen that is well stocked. The great thing for a trip to iceland was the washing machine. We were able to do our laundry and be ready to go in the morning... everything dried without need for a dryer. The owner came down to answer any questions and we can't say enough about the great accommodation.
