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.

Cosy and spacious apartment, perfect for families

KellyRating, 5 stars83 months ago

We enjoyed our visit to Edvard's place the best out of all of the places we stayed in Iceland (including some fine hotels). The house is lovely, immaculately clean, and has so many clever touches that reflect what interesting people the hosts must be. It was very comfortable, and we were sad to leave after our brief stay. Should we return to Iceland any time soon, we would easily come back to this lovely home!

Comfy studio apartment - free parking

GeorgiaRating, 5 stars8 months ago

A lovely bolthole for exploring Reykjavik! In a quiet and charming neighbourhood, it is attached to the main house but you definitely feel private enough. Comfy bed, plenty of amenities - wonderful shower. Plentiful parking and only a short distance into town. We even managed to see the Northern Lights from here!

A quiet place close to the sea

CinziaRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Angela and I exchanged quite a few messages before my stay, so I already felt at home before getting there. The little studio in Angela’s backyard has all you need for a comfortable stay, it’s warm, cozy and is very close to the sea. Perfect for walks by the harbour. The location is perfect to explore the area as it’s away from the hustle and bustle of the centre, but close enough to the main sights of the city, about 15-20 minutes by car. Hafnarfjörður is not short of swimming pools. Suðurbæjarlaug is just a few minutes’ drive away, and I would highly recommend it as it offers a variety of hot tubs and outdoor swimming. Visit during the morning or early afternoon, to avoid the late afternoon crowds. Angela was readily available and quick to respond whenever I had a query, and she also provided useful advice on things to see and routes to take. As a solo female traveller, I found having contact with a friendly, local resident invaluable during my stay there. Thanks again!

Modern luxury apt. Ideal for a family/free parking

AllieRating, 5 stars5 months ago

Svandís was a wonderful host, always responsive and helped us understand the ins and outs of the apartment like how to work the heated floors! She even had Icelandic snacks in the kitchen for us when we arrived! :) The kids room was wonderful for our 2 year old who loved playing with the toys and we all felt right at home! Would definitely rebook in the future!
