AUSTUREY COTTAGES
&
LAKEFRONT VILLA

A Sheep Farm by the Lake

Austurey has been owned by the same family since 1926. Today the family still raises sheep as well as running a heating utility and water supply utility. Part of the lake Apavatn and the river Hólaá is also part of Austurey´s land, which is a popular place to fish.

We started building six cottages in the summer of 2017, which were ready on the 1st of June 2018 …

If you want somewhere to stay near the Thingvellir national Park, you shouldn't look further. The location is surreal. The courage is comfortable too and has everything you might need for your stay.

Staying here was the highlight of our holiday for Christmas 2024. Can imagine these cottages are fantastic to stay in all year round. We did have weather warnings to not go anywhere due to the storms so we couldn't explore the location (except a short walk in between the snowfall Christmas day down to the very frozen lake) but we had everything we needed within the cottage for a few days. We stopped at the shop before leaving Reykjavík to get our food for the stay. Everything within the cottage was perfectly designed and thought out. Communicating directly with Austuery Cottages was simple, easy and friendly. I didn't get many photos from inside the cottage as I was so focused on the beautiful views and keeping an eye out for the Northern Lights! I highly recommend staying here! We will visit Iceland again, and we will definitely be including our travels with a stay at Austurey Cottages. Thank you again, for a lovely, relaxing and storm watching stay over Christmas.
