About this cottage rental
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).

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!!

Lovely home with a great view. Easy access to the rest of the northwest. Responsive host and the amenities were as described. We look forward to returning soon!

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.

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.
