Tvera - roomy quality cottage with a view, close to the ferry harbor Brjanslækur

The spacious cottage Tvera is situated in the secluded pristine environment of the widely untouched south coast of Iceland’s Westfjord. The lodge 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 harbor 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, to the East or to the South? We also run the quality cottages "Hamragil" by the town Akureyri up North (Booking Number 3925011), Borgarbrekka in South East Iceland, 35 km east of town Höfn, "Stekkar" south of the great sights Geysir and Gullfoss (2903253) and "Brekka" right at the bay Hvalfjord just north of Reykjavik (9257064).

A Little Peace and Quiet
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.

Amazing property in the Westfjords
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.

Absolutely perfect
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.

Magical stay
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.

Wonderful Tvera
Beautiful and quiet surrounded by birds and an ocean view. We were visited by sheep, geese and ducks. The alpine wildflowers were in bloom which just added to experience. House was immaculate, stylish and had everything we needed and communication with the property manager was also great.

house between Flokalunder and Bjanslaekur
We stayed at the house for nearly two weeks and it was wonderful. It is spacious inside and the views from every window are spectacular. We walked in the mountains or down by the sea every day and picked wild berries and chanterelles and it was magical. The nearest grocery is about thirty minutes away and it had everything we needed. The house was well set up for cooking and the hotel restautant five minutes away was great. No problems, no complaints: perfect

Remote Bliss
Our family really enjoyed our ferry ride over to the Westfjords and the shortest ride up the road to our house! The location was great for visiting all the main attractions in the area. One day we just tried out all the hot springs! The house has everything you’ll need, and comfort throughout.

Winter in the Westfjords
Jon & Auja made our experience unforgettable! The property was in pristine condition. The location and views were stunning! Visiting the Westfjords in the middle of Winter can present some challenges. But, it’s not impossible. In fact, we enjoyed being isolated away from people for a while. Jon is very kind and quick to respond to anything you need during your stay. We truly had a great time and cannot wait to check out their other properties across Iceland! We thank you again Jon & Auja!! :) Kyle & Nabe

A lovely house in a gorgeous location
This house was the perfect home base for our family. We were looking forward to a remote, wintry, Westfjords experience and we were not disappointed. Mountain behind, ocean in front. Could not have asked for better. Jon, our host, was amazing: warm, responsive, and helpful, he embodied a hospitality that helped make our trip both memorable and enjoyable.
