Home in Hafnarfjörður

Design Cottage Close to Icelandic Countryside & Reykjavik

Step into one of the oldest homes in town, dating from 1884. Curated by the owners of the design studio Reykjavík Trading Co., The Garden Cottage has been completely remodeled to provide a unique feeling, with a lot of the furniture handmade or meticulously crafted and selected from their travels to California, Scandinavia & Mexico. The land behind The Garden Cottage is home to their designed greenhouse, communal garden, chickens and their most recent addition, The Shed which is their workshop / shop where you can visit for a coffee, buy pieces or see their process of making objects. Curated by the owners & designers of Reykjavík Trading Co. (an Icelandic / California homeware company) the Garden Cottage is their first project of creating a home space for guests to experience a unique & cozy feeling while visiting Iceland. The bottom floor of the 1884 built home has been completely remodeled for guests. Everything in the home has been either made by hand by R.T.Co. or selected from their collection of preferred products & appliances. Anthony Bacigalupo & Ýr Káradóttir, the owners of The Garden Cottage, live & work in the separate upper part of the historic home & their R.T.Co. workshop is located in the back of the garden for guests to visit, learn about the pieces being crafted, or just to have a cup of coffee. We wanted to create a place for guests to experience "slow living" & create a special stay. Having designed spaces for hotels, cafes, bars we decided to put our inspiration & collection into this project & build something completely one-of-a-kind in Iceland. The Garden Cottage includes: - Fresh free-range eggs from the hens in garden - Bosch & Smeg appliances - Aeropress & grinder for coffee - Art pieces by a selection of Icelandic artists - Simple white noise machines with USB charging ports - King & Queen-sized Simba mattress with luxury down pillows & duvets - Wifi & Bluetooth Speaker - Backyard Filson horseshoe set - Weber Smokey Joe BBQ - Yoga mat upon request - Conveniently located across the road from the town's main bus terminal which will take you to Reykjavík & beyond For families: - Stokke Tripp Trapp high chair & Stokke cradle upon request - Bugaboo stroller upon request - BloomBaby lounger chair upon request Note: By law Iceland is requiring all Airbnb's to register their property legally to keep quality, standards & ethics high. Most properties are not registered. Our registration number is HG-00003324 Our guests have the whole bottom house to themselves, with a selection of curated magazines, books & products from R.T.Co. & other designers. The home was built in 1884 & we have been remodeling & bringing back the style it once was but also bringing back the garden & farm style that was once so prominent back in the day. We believe in hospitality to the fullest which sadly doesn't exist anymore in places. Since we live on the property we can answer any questions you have or have you in for a coffee if you need help deciding your journey in Iceland. The cottage is in the oldest part of Hafnarfjörður, a small harbor town. There are great farm-to-table restaurants, bakeries, live music, artist studios and swimming pools nearby. It’s conveniently located across the road from the town’s bus terminal. The house has three stories but is broken into two flats- we live on the upper floors with our children with separate driveway and front door- but we are here for anything you need or to have a coffee in the greenhouse! Our little town can be easily walked around & explored. Shuttle stops for airport & Blue Lagoon are 3 minutes walk next to the ocean & the bus terminal into Reykjavík is close as well.

A framed vintage poster of a rhinoceros adorns the wall, accompanied by a modern black desk lamp. A few stacked books sit on the white tabletop, creating an organized and calming workspace.

Family Apartment • Breakfast at Local Bakery

RhodriRating, 5 stars5 months ago

What a great apartment. I stayed here with my wife, two children (8&10) and sister for 5 days leading up to and including NYE. The photos do not do the apartment justice! It was immaculately clean, very spacious and incredibly well equipped. There is a small supermarket, pizza restaurant and coffee shop (although the latter was closed when we were there) within 150m walk. You also have larger supermarket in 5min drive, plus a 20min drive to downtown Reykjavík and great access to get onto main road routes for golden circle, south coast and Rekjanes peninsula. We hired a car and did day trips from here & Great to relax here after a road trip! Large balcony with views over towards Reykjavík which was incredible on NYE with the whole city alight with fireworks & especially with the friendly residents putting on their own firework displays. The host recommended a local bonfire and fireworks display which the kids loved. Parking is straightforward too! Will definitely stay here again

DebRating, 5 stars8 months ago

Wished instructions were available on how to use the washer and dryer as all the settings were in Icelandic. Other than that there was lots of kitchen supplies. Bed was comfortable. Loved the duvet covers. Area is just outside of Reykjavik. Google Maps made navigating all over easy. Could be to the other side of the city within 15 mins driving. I left a magnet on the fridge with my hometown on it. I did leave my electrical adapter in case you need one. Check with Björn to see if it is still there.

YevhenRating, 5 stars1 month ago

To be honest and short - if you want to stay in Reykjavik and feel yourself like at home - Idas flat is the best option. Our trip couldn't be better without her attention and help during the whole stay. Highly recommend. We wish to come back and choose the same appartment.

The modern building showcases a clean architectural design with large windows and several balconies. The exterior features a crisp white façade, accented by darker stone elements at the base. The entrance is situated prominently, providing a welcoming appearance.
