Fantastic first night in Iceland!
Our iStay cottage was clean and simple. A great first night in Iceland. The view out our windows of the lupine was beautiful. It looked a bit like Animal Crossing in the best way!
What is not mentioned is the property has a fully stocked common room - kitchen and dining area. Designed for preparing meals, refrigerator and cabinet space.

Quiet location 10 minutes from airport. We arrived after midnight as our plane was in late, but not an issue as there is a lock box for the keys. Be aware there are no shops nearby or breakfast options - bring something or drive back to the Keflavik bakery for breakfast.

it was such a unique stay and felt so cozy. there is not to much to do in the area, so you should definietly arrive with a car.
the bathrooms are in the main building where also the kitchen is. they had a great system for groceries - one fridge for everyone may take and one to place your things with nobody taking it.

Great experience!
Stayed one night in a cottage for two. It was clean and cozy! Check in was easy with a lock box. Close to Keflavik airport for an easy out in the morning.

Perfect place to stay before an early flight from the airport. I really like the shared kitchen - really clean and everything you need to cook in rather than going out to dinner
