Backyard Village is located in the small and charming town, Hveragerði, 40 km south of Reykjavík city. Hveragerði is a health and wellness focused little town, known for being the first to use geothermal energy for green house agrigulture. The town has green public areas, numerous geothermal springs, greenhouses, family run restaurants, a food hall with street food restaurants and a cafe, two great geothermal public pools, the Geothermal Park within short walking distance from the cabin and a grocery store/wine shop/bakery/tiny earthquake museum – all in the same building (15 minute walk from the house). The location is ideal if you want to get an early start on day trips around the south coast or the Golden cirlce. There are horse rentals close by and the Reykjadalur hot river hike is almost at the front door. You can quite easily walk from the cabin to the famous natural baths and back in one day. We, along with our three children live in the main house on the property and will often be available to help during your stay. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Sauna ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation -

May 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Bilderbuch-Idylle in perfekter Lage Wir haben die letzte Woche und den perfekten Abschluss unserer Elternzeitreise mit unserem 8 Monate alten Baby im Backyard Village bei Oskar und Emma in Hveragerði verbracht. Die beiden sind wahnsinnig nett und immer erreichbar, die Unterkunft ist sehr gemütlich und sauber und wir hatten auch für unser Baby alles, was wir brauchten. Perfekt ist zudem die Lage. Man kann von dort aus allerhand unternehmen, ohne ewig weit fahren zu müssen: Wir waren in Reykjavik, auf den Westmänner-Inseln, in Thingvellir, bei den Geysiren und am Gulfoss, aber auch im örtlichen Geothermalpark und wenn wir noch Kraft und Zeit übrig gehabt hätten, wären wir sicher auch noch zum Reykjadalur gewandert, um im warmen Fluss zu baden. Man kann hier aber natürlich auch hervorragend zuhause bleiben und die Seele baumeln lassen, ein Buch lesen, den Hühnern beim Huhnsein zugucken und ab und an in den Hot Tub springen. Am letzten Tag hat uns Oskar dabei geholfen, die Sauna anzufeuern. Wir würden definitiv wiederkommen, absolute Empfehlung! ##### Cornelia T.
