Appreciated our time here. Our stay here was really really nice, perfect base for exploring Hvalfjordur.

Great value for money, with spacious and modern villas offering stunning views and a private hot tub on the deck. The staff were friendly and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable.
The only thing that could have made breakfast better was if there were some hot options available.
