Nest Retreat Iceland - Mirror House by riverbank

The facilities were great, everything we needed for a few nights and all to a very high standard. The location is beautiful, so peaceful and quiet and away from any light pollution so gave us excellent views of the Aurora. We were lucky enough to have snow whilst enjoying the hot tub. Central location for the key tourist sights on both the South coast and Golden Circle. Local facilities in Hella. Rose was really proactive with all communication and checked up to see we had checked in OK. Great local recommendations and very responsive to all queries. Made our stay in Iceland really special! Would highly recommend and would love to come back!

Nest retreat is an amazing place to stay!

The small cabin is incredibly cozy, and we were lucky enough to watch the northern lights right from the comfort of our little home — truly unforgettable. I honestly wish we had extended our stay because everything about this place was just perfect. Every amenity was so thoughtfully provided, and I’m genuinely impressed by how much they managed to fit into such a compact space. From board games and a speaker to fully equipped cooking utensils, everything we needed was right there and made our stay super convenient. The view overlooking the river was breathtaking, especially with the aurora dancing above it. A fun little fact — the host, Rose, is also from Malaysia, which made the stay feel even warmer. Terima kasih, Rose! I can’t wait to come back in the summer to enjoy the long daylight hours here. Highly, highly recommend this place — a perfect 10/10 stay.
