Núpar Cottages

We stayed here over New Year’s. The location is great, close enough to town to get supplies, yet far enough to get amazing night sky views. You can drive to anywhere, not stuck at all. The hot tub in number 2 may be the downfall. The control said 40 degrees, but the water was definitely not that warm. Would gladly stay here again! We were even treated to the northern lights on our last night!

We stayed in Nupar cottage number 6 for 2 nights in January 2017 and it is a lovely 2 bedroom lodge. One double bed and 2 bunk beds – fine for our teenagers. Great location just 5 minutes’ drive from Hveragerdi where there is a Bonus supermarket, vinbudin, lovely coffee shop and a fantastic open air swimming pool where we enjoyed the hot pots and the (very warm) 50m pool. The cottage was well-equipped in the kitchen with all the pans and crockery needed for the 4 of us. The hot pot was lovely on a cold winter’s evening after a day sightseeing. The thing that makes these cottages superb was the welcome from our host – who not only jump started the battery on our rental car and then let us borrow the leads in case we had further problems that day but came over promptly when our hot water wasn’t working and got it mended in 5 minutes! Their proximity to the main road 1 was reassuring in January but it would be a great place to stay at any time of the year.

We loved our stay at Nupar. When we arrived the hottub and house were heated. The house was clean and the view was amazing. We loved our stay and will recomment Nupar to alle who wants to stay in Iceland

Lovely cabin. We had a double, so one of the smaller ones and it was perfect for a couple. The heating worked well and the kitchen had a stove and small oven and enough of everything we needed to cater for ourselves.

The bedroom has a kind of fitted bed which you can get into from just one side. This didn’t bother us and added to the cosyness of the cabin.

The hot tub/hotpot on the verandah of the hut was great and the water just the right temperature.

The location of the cabins was good for first timers to Iceland, like us. All the well known attractions were an easy distance away. I thought it was much nicer and more relaxing staying here than staying in Reykjavik and better for seeing the northern lights.

There is a supermarket, bakers and petrol station just 5 minutes drive up the road. There is also a restaurant called Varma in the Frost and Fire hotel which we ate at one night and which was very good.

Lastly, the owners went out of there way to assist us and were very accommodating.

The cabin had wifi and we found we could skype but not use hotmail and a few other sites.
