The spacious cabin Tvera is situated in the secluded pristine environment of the widely untouched south coast of Iceland’s Westfjord. The cabin is centrally sited for a visit to many spectacular nature sights, would it be the puffins of the Latrabjarg cliffs, the unique red beach of Raudasandur, all the natural geothermal pools in the area - or just the herbal vegetation and the creeks on a refreshing hike from the entrance door of the lodge. The surroundings of Tvera are steeped in history with one of the first discoverers of Iceland, the ninth century Norseman Hrafna-Floki who gave Iceland it's name, choosing to settle here so he could enjoy the beautiful view over the bay.
Tvera sleeps up to 11 guests, but please notice, there's an extra charge per person per night exceeding 6 guests.
Tvera is very close to the ferry harbour Brjanslaekur, where the car & passenger ferry from the town Stykkisholmur arrives, passing the cult-island Flatey on its way across the bay. It is also close to the road junction for the main town of the Westfjords, Isafjordur, hosting Tjoruhusid the best fish restaurant in Iceland. There is only a 25 minute panoramic drive to Dynjandi, the most beautiful and impressive waterfall of the Westfjords (100m high).
In the late summer/autumn you can pick blueberries all around and mushrooms too.

Are you heading up North or to the South We also run the quality cabins Hamragil by the town Akureyri up North (Vrbo rental No 3925011), Stekkar south of the great sights Geysir and Gullfoss (2903253) and Brekka right at the bay Hvalfjord just north of Reykjavik (9257064).

    The house was clean, rooms were nice. Good full kitchen. But there is no emergency contact for the property. And it is middle of nowhere.

    A comfortable house in an incredibly beautiful location. Don't miss the Dynjandi waterfall under an hour away. I would recommend booking a more robust car than we did for the gravel grades on the way there (or take ferry). The description made me want to be there and the reality was even better. That house should never be empty, so lovely is it to watch the light on the water.

    Very spacious house with plenty of rooms and outdoor space to accommodate a small to large gathering. This is a great launching point to discover the Westfjords area. The home is well supplied for cooking and has plenty of supplies! There is a natural hot-spring pool nearby (5 minutes). The views from the family room/dining area are beautiful!!

    This was a great property in a beautiful location. Check in was very easy and we received alot of helpful information upon booking. The home is quiet, peaceful, and comfortable. It is also well-situated for making day trips to sites throughout the Westfjords.

    The views from the house are amazing. It’s convenient to the ferry but everything else is a long drive. However, the second bathroom is really a utility room with a shower and toilet. The pillows were very flat and the towels very old and rough. Overall, not one of the best VRBO’s we’ve stayed in.

    Very comfy house and super-friendly host. The house is easily accessible and yet very quiet. Most of the beautiful places in the Westfjords are within max. 90 minutes driving distance.

    If you are looking for a remote location in the Westfjords with an amazing view, this is the place. The view from the living/dining room overlooking Vatnsfjordur and the Atlantic Ocean is serene and can't be beat for beauty. The location is very quiet with very little car traffic. You have to travel 45 minutes to the nearest town, but there is a hotel within a couple of miles with a gas pump and a good restaurant. The location is a good base for traveling to many of the Westfjord sites. The lodge is well appointed with all kitchen necessities. I traveled solo but there are plenty of comfortable beds for a larger group. It is always nice to have an accommodation with a washer and dryer. Several days the sheep were on the front lawn. The host Jon Baldur was very quick to reply to my many questions prior to travel. This was my 3rd trip to Iceland and I will be sure to use another Nordic Lodge in the future.

    This was a wonderful vacation rental in the sparsely populated Westfjords. Very convenient location by the ferry terminal and with a hotel, restaurant, and natural hot pot down the road. Beautiful sweeping vistas out of most windows. We saw Arctic foxes right in front of the property. Relatively short drive to some of the area's major attractions, including the Dynjandi Waterfall, red sand beach, and Latrabjarg bird cliffs. The home was spotless when we arrived and our hosts were very gracious and communicative.

    We loved every minute of our stay in this wonderful retreat. The views are breathtaking, the house has everything you need, is very comfortable, and well situated to reach the beautiful sites across the Westfjords. And Jon is absolutely wonderful to work with, one of the best hosts we have encountered in all our travels. Thanks for everything, Jon.

Nice walks at low tide and hiking in canyons nearby. Jon easy to communicate with. Has other beautiful places we would like to stay at in the future...see his postcards at the house! We'll be back. Thank you!!! Leslie & Martin

    The house is in a great location, is very clean and comfortable, and has everything you need for cooking. Our host was wonderful about communication. We loved looking out the front window at the fjord. Twice a white tailed eagle landed on the rocks in the water out front. It was a great place to spend 5 days.
