Aurora Cabin & Private Jacuzzi

Escape to your private nature retreat on an authentic Icelandic farm in the heart of the stunning South Coast Eyjafjöll region. This cosy, well-appointed cabin is your perfect haven for soaking in a spacious outdoor Jacuzzi, ideal for unwinding under the shimmering aurora borealis in winter (peak September–April) or basking in the golden midnight sun and endless summer twilight (June–August).
Surrounded by breath-taking landscapes, grazing sheep, and friendly Icelandic horses, the cabin offers total privacy and modern comforts: a fully equipped kitchen for preparing meals anytime, high-speed WIFI throughout, and serene open views far from city lights—making it one of the most reliable spots to catch the northern lights right from your patio or inside.
Whether you’re a couple on a romantic getaway, a small group of 3–4 adults, or a family with kids/teens enjoying summer adventures, this luxury retreat combines ultimate relaxation, authentic farm charm, and front-row access to South Iceland’s natural magic year-round.

The Space

Step into your private, cosy cabin, a thoughtfully designed retreat nestled on an authentic Icelandic working farm in the majestic Eyjafjöll region of South Iceland. This welcoming cabin combines warm Scandinavian simplicity with modern comforts, creating an intimate and relaxing haven where you can truly disconnect and immerse yourself in the surrounding natural beauty.

The open-plan layout flows effortlessly: a bright living area with a comfortable sofa (that converts into a full bed for extra guests), coffee table, and flat-screen smart TV (with streaming options like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney+), high-speed WIFI throughout, and large windows framing unobstructed views of the open countryside, mountains, and farm fields dotted with grazing sheep and friendly Icelandic horses.

At the heart of the cabin is the fully equipped kitchen, perfect for preparing your own meals or enjoying a quiet breakfast: dining table (which doubles as a workspace) and a open space into living room.

The real highlight awaits just outside: your exclusive private jacuzzi, positioned on the wooden terrace for breath-taking panoramic views. Soak under the shimmering aurora borealis dancing directly overhead in winter (peak September–April, thanks to the farm’s minimal light pollution and open horizons), or relax in the golden midnight sun and endless summer twilight (June–August) while the soft light lingers across the landscape and enjoy the company of grazing sheep with lambs around.

Whether you’re a couple seeking a romantic escape, a small group of 3–4 adults, or a family with kids/teens enjoying summer adventures, this cabin offers total privacy, year-round comfort (heat pump, blackout curtains in bedroom and living room), and front-row access to South Iceland’s seasonal magic—making every moment feel special and restorative

This was a beautiful spot for our family!

April 19, 2025

This was a beautiful spot for our family for a few days. The place is very small, but we made it work for four, and the location was prime, the hot tub was lovely and the sheep in the distance were adorable. Plus the Northern Lights!

Everything! Hot tube, location – away from anybody, warm inside, equipped with all necessary items, good contact with host. Only 3h away from Glacier lagoon. Plenty of lovely places around. So pleased!

This place was so awsome!

March 1, 2025

This place was so awsome and in such a beautiful place! It was in great location too! You’re in between some famous waterfalls! 10mins to Seljanlandsfloss and 15mins to Skógafoss. The plane wreck hike is about 20 mins south and Vik is about a 1/2hr/40 min drive. It’s very quiet and essentially no light pollution! The hot tub was an added plus! Especially after very long days of driving/hiking/walking around. I would highly recommend this stay to anyone that wants a good location to explore the south of Iceland! The owners were very nice, very attentive and gave privacy!

The setting of the Airbnb was incredible!!! It is located in a very serene location, in the middle of nowhere witch makes it perfect for seeing the northern lights! We got to see them! The cabin was very cozy, warm and inviting! We felt right at home. The boat was very responsive! I definitely recommended it. So worth it!

The house is a tanker, in the middle of nowhere and a stone’s throw from the sea. Cozy structure with Jacuzzi and equipped with all the services.
