At lodge Brekka you sure have a warm welcome, independent of weather. You'll feel comfortable in the nice open space of the house and the big terrace around, enjoying the privacy of this pristine site. The inviting geothermal tub is discretely placed in the bushes of the birch midst in the pure nature. The location is superb with a great view with ever changing shades of light on the Hvalfjord-bay and the Atlantic Ocean, and the mountain group Sulur in the other direction. A little creek makes the border of the property as it flows by in the gully. The lodge Brekka (means slope) is a beautiful house, finished in 2013. It is sitting nicely in the hillside, hence the name. For 6 people you have a lot of space, additionally there is a double sleeping couch in the open space upstairs, ideal for kids. That way Brekka can accommodate 8 people on request. Please notice, if booked for more than 6 guests a surcharge pr. person, will apply.
Brekka is a gorgeous place to stay, a real retreat from Reykjavik, Fairly close but far enough. The house is approximately 45 minutes drive from Reykjavík and only about 1,5 hours from the KEF airport. Brekka has a free glass fibre connection for Internet and TV.
Are you heading North, West or South We also run the quality cottages Hamragil by the town Akureyri up North (Booking Numbrer 3925011), Tvera at the south coast of the Westfjords (4084081) and Stekkar south of the great sights Geysir and Gullfoss (2903253).

    Loved our stay at Brekka. Wonderfully remote and scenic, loved the hot tub and general location of the property worked for us as we did not want to be in the City. Hosts were amazing, from initial booking to visiting us when we were there to help us sort out a small mouse challenge!

    Brekka is located in an incredible setting with amazing views over the lake and mountains. It’s peaceful and calm. The accommodation is spacious and comfortable with everything you need for self catering holidays. Any questions that I had were quickly answered both before check in and during the stay. There is a supermarket 25 mins away by car which has everything you’d need. Reykjavik was an easy drive if you want a city visit. Highly recommended.

    We had an amazing time at the Brekka house. It was everything we had hoped for and better! The kitchen was well equipped and the view from the windows and deck were stunning The geothermal hot tub was a luxury after our hikes. We would most certainly recommend, you will not be disappointed.

    What a beautiful place! Iceland is a beautiful country, but Brekka is in the most beautiful location. The hosts were helpful. The place was clean. It was easy to drive to Reykjavik and other places. The views were amazing.

    Perfect as a base to come home to absolutely everything was A1. Very pleased, the property is nicer than the listing leads you to believe.I did feel that the hot tub would have been better placed up on the balcony (especially for when it snows) giving better views from tub and less risk of slipping at night.

    Wonderful location just 45 minutes from Reykjavic. It is certainly out in the countryside, but it was nice and quiet. 20 mins to a grocery store and the kitchen was equipped enough for our breakfasts we made at home before heading out for the day. Very clean, and the hot tub was great. No issues whatsoever.

    3 adults, used as a base for hiking and exploring south and central Iceland including Snaefellsness, Landmannalaugar (that was a long drive though), and Vestmannaeyjar. It was a very nice and clean house. I would stay there again.

    Our family stayed at Brekka for the holiday season. The host’s directions were spot on and we found the house no trouble at night,in the snow, and never having been to Iceland before. The house was warm and clean on arrival & fully stocked with all utensils and cooking pots and pans, etc we needed for our stay. The three bedrooms and upstairs loft all got used as sleeping quarters; everyone was comfortable and the blankets sheets and pillows were all clean and inviting for a good night’s sleep. We drove offsite most of the time to either go visiting or hiking (Glymur is nearby as is Hvammsvik hot springs - both worthy trips), but each afternoon we were happy to come back and prepare dinner and relax in the hot tub. The hot tub is amazing (once you get the hang of operating it!). I did drain it once by accident, but then figured it out easily and we were back in business. We loved our stay - particularly getting a surprise Christmas tree from our host - and decorating it with a box of Christmas decorations that were at the house. Jon - the host - was always accessible and answered our every question promptly and with obvious pride for the house. His attentiveness and kindness made our stay just that much more enjoyable because he made us confident in where we were staying, notwithstanding some fairly heavy Icelandic winter weather. Highly recommended, clean, neat, enjoyable, wonderful views and a wonderful host. Jon O’Brien, Boston, USA

    We absolutely loved staying here! The views were breathtaking. The location allowed for a quiet, peaceful stay with the ability to see the northern lights without light pollution, and was not far from many sites and attractions. The property was clean and had everything we needed to be comfortable and enjoy our time there. We would definitely recommend this property to others and would love to stay here again!
