Holiday cottage Birta II

Ideally situated between lake Laugarvatn and the Geyser area in South Iceland. Distances to Laugarvatn 5 miles, to Selfoss 31 miles, to Reykjavik 63 miles.

The cottage was built in 2015 and offers all amenities you need for a comfortable stay in Iceland. Together with Birta I, up to 8 people can sleep here. A small runway leads to the river Bruara where you can go fishing. The house measures 140sqm and is heated by geothermal energy. Parking space is available in front of the house.

The house sleeps at max. eight persons. There are three double bedrooms (with two single beds each that can be moved) and a sleeping loft with two mattresses.

The American-style kitchen is open to the sitting area and fully equipped with a dishwasher, fridge, microwave, and oven.

Enjoy the view from the large panoramic windows in the living room and spend relaxed evenings in this modern and cozy cottage.

The house has two bathrooms, the larger one with a shower, and the smaller one with a toilet only. The large terrace including garden furniture, Hot Pot and barbeque is perfect for long summer evenings outside.

The price includes electricity, water, heating, and WIFI. Bed linen and towels are included as well. Cleaning can be done by the renter or booked for an additional € 300.

A highlight with historical significance is Thingvellir National Park. The world's first democratic parliament was elected here in 930. The plain lies in a geologically very interesting area, as Iceland is located at the point where the Eurasian and North American continental plates meet. Here you can see with the naked eye the rift created by the separation of the two plates.

If you haven't visited any geysers in Iceland, you've definitely missed out, as the area is a must-see for every Iceland vacationer. The mighty "Great Geyser" and its smaller but very active brother "Strokkur" are located here. The latter erupts at intervals of just 5-10 minutes and has become one of the most popular photo opportunities in the region.

Gullfoss is probably the most famous waterfall in Iceland and should be part of every visit to Iceland. It plunges over two large steps into a narrow canyon. You can also relax in a wonderfully warm thermal water bath in the Blue Lagoon or take a walk along the surf coast in the south.
