Clean, comfortable, and easy to find
Clean. New. Easy to find. Great view. Warm and cozy. Had a kitchenette which was very convenient. The one downside was the shower only has 5 minutes of hot water and my husband had to have a cold shower.

The property is located on very beautiful land and has gorgeous surroundings. The property also has an interior design that maximizes the beauty of the land. The only thing I wish could be improved was to have hot water running for longer and to have the water be hot and not just lukewarm.

Rooms have an amazing view of glaciers. Other than that not much going on. Good for an overnight halt.
There was no hot water in the shower. There being no staff on prem there is no fix. Only option is WhatsApp to owners. Sent a message at 9.30 am and got a response at 4.00 in the afternoon (after we had checked out). No apologies only a “thank you for letting us know”.

Stayed one night on ring road trip. The property is a bit isolated but the view of the three glaciers from the large glass window in the room was just amazing. Would definitely recommend.

Great little cabin!
Beautiful little room with a small kitchen, patio/chairs, and a great window with a view of a glacier. Close to some great attractions, but nice and quiet for some good sleep. The owner was very responsive to our questions and they have a little dossier about the area which was helpful.

We loved that this was really just out there off of the Ring Road. Lovely room with comfy beds and a kitchenette that meant we could have a hot meal. Loved it!

The place is very clean and new with amazing views of the glacier. The kitchen and bathroom are adequate, tho the chairs were a bit uncomfortable. The only improvement I would suggest is to have nets on the windows against the bugs and midges or to provide a window fan (midges can't fly in wind). There is standing water nearby which provides conditions for midges. We were there on an unusually warm day and since the house is exposed, the inside temperature was 27C (80F). No fans are available, so we had to open the windows. We got an incredible amount of midge bites. This made our stay very unpleasant.

Excellent spot to stay. Medium sized guesthouses (size is similar to shipping container) on beautiful land. Views are outstanding. Grazing sheep will be the soundtrack for your dreams.
Check-in is simple and easy, one doesnt even have to see anyone else. We arrived after 2AM and quietly entered our unit. Blackout curtains did their job, and we slept easily.
Higly recommended.

Great stay! The unit was spacious and very clean. Loved the view of the glacier out the rear window. Owners were very quick to respond.
2 easy recommendations- 2 more pillows and paper towels and/or paper napkins in the dinette area.
Would absolutely stay here again! Thank you!

It's in a gravelled forecourt next to the road.
Beautifully finished studio, but it's very small and ridiculously expensive.
