BEST of Iceland 5* 'National Park'New LUXURY Storytelling cottage- STUNNING view

There is nothing that could have made our week's stay any better, it was everything we wanted and more.
We regarded Gestur as a friend as he was so helpful and kind.
The cottage has 360' of magnificent views of the sea and snowy mountains. The coast is absolutely stunning and a photographer's dream, no matter what the weather.
The cottage is beautifully designed and furnished with little luxuries. It was warm, very comfortable and better than the listing. Gestur recommended we stopped to shop at Borganes on the way to the cottage as the area is remote. We were there in February, so there were no organised activities open - but who needs them with the wonderful coastline to explore. We were also treated to 2 nights of the Aurora, seen from the window of the cottage and the back lawn!
A car is an absolute necessity, the roads were good, even in February.
The cottage is very well laid out, the staircase is very steep but there is a stair gate fitted at the top along with a huge television, up to date DVDs, playstation,games, ipad, great selection of toys and mobile phones work too.
They say that the volcano energizes you, well it may be the air quality or the ozone, all we know is we had a relaxing stay which exceeded all our expectations
We would most definitely recommend Iceland, Hellar, Gestur and this cottage

My partner and I booked a stay in the Jules Verne Cottage with the intention of a pre-Christmas wind-down and chill-out in a remote secluded setting. We certainly found and enjoyed this at the Jules Verne cottage. The cottage is incredibly well presented and very welcoming on arrival. (As others say, its a really good idea to do grocery shopping at Borgarnes on the way from Reykjavik). Cosy, but light open and spacious. We happily spent a few days lounging in the cottage without getting under each others feet. Gestur's service and care for both the cottage and our stay was very evident and kind without being overbearing - you feel that help is just a phone call or email away if needed.
We took Gestur's offer of a Car Hire package with the cottage which worked very well. The car was at the airport on our arrival (saving the Taxi fee to Reykjavik) and gave us perfect flexibility. You will need a car because the cottage and West Iceland is fairly remote, and it meant we could also explore a few nearby attractions. The Water Column Art installation at Stykkisholmur is definitely worth seeing. Ask at the Library - they were kind enough to open it just for us! Also the Hraunfosser+Barafoss waterfalls are within a day-trip, as is the Eldborg Crater (between the cottage and Borgarnes). With a 3km walk across the lavafield you can actually climb right up the crater and look down in. Of course there is also the Snaefellsjokull glacier right out the back door.
Definitely a 5-star holiday for us, and we will definitely recommend to friends.
Thanks Gestur, a pleasure to meet you and stay at the cottage.

The Jules Verne Cottage is truly one of those places that make you feel like you never want to leave! The views from the cottage are breathtaking and the cottage itself is tastefully decorated. It has all the comforts of home. You get the feeling when you are there that the owners have thought of everything you might need during your stay. The cottage is located in a great area for exploring the Snaefellsnes Peninsula.

It was a pleasure working with Gestur. He promplty answered any questions that I had via email. I have so many great memories of Iceland and the Jules Verne cottage will be one of those great Icelandic memories. Thank you Gestur for sharing your cottage with us!
