Loa's Nest

Hella

Set in Hella, Loa's Nest offers a garden. Boasting a shared lounge, this property also provides guests with a terrace. Guests can enjoy mountain views.

At the guest house, rooms include a desk. Featuring a private bathroom, some units at Loa's Nest also boast a patio. At the accommodation, all rooms include a seating area. That was one of the few Icelandic accomodations that allowed us to meet its owners, Icelandic people. Amazing! Having travelling in Iceland several times some 8-20 years ago, we have observed that Icelanders are getting extinct from the tourists eyesight! Nowadays immigrants are serving tourists, thus making locals so much invisible that it even feels like being a milking cow (all is getting more and more expensive, and Icelanders are getting advanced transactions without any need to physically show up). Luckily there is Loa's Nest and some other few accommodations' owners who do find time to show their interest in people who are visiting them. A human contact is much more precious than just a cold standard welcome letter left on the entrance table with written instructions where to find a key to your room. The owners of the Loa's Nest not only were present during morning hours but also offered guests free coffee and freshly baked waffles. I loved their presence and short stories on their island, plus, suggestions on what to visit nearby. The location was great, surrounded by many birds, however, no luck to see there the 'Loa' itself, or the European golden plower.

The accommodation provides a shared kitchen and luggage storage space for guests. A guesthouse with its "own" waterfall? Possible.

The property has contacted me to inform about dinner... we opted in for the lamb soup and it was great, if you have the chance, do not miss it. Throughout the property there are pictures and little fun notes you want to read and see.
