ÖÖD Hekla Horizon - Mirror Houses

We are lost of words! This place is definitely worth a stay, our experience was great. The cabins are warm, fully equipped (kitchen, towels and bath robes, private sauna and hot tub!!), the bed was so comfy, the views breathtaking. The perfect spot for northern light gazing and getting the most amazing shots reflecting on the mirror walls.

We had and amazing time at the Lava House. Great experience when travelling in the south coast, outstanding views, brand new, clean and tidy space, sauna and hot pot close by and private for us makes it quite special. We really recommend it and we will come back for sure!

4 of us stayed in Glacier - mother daughter trip. The unit was well equipped. Beds extremely comfortable and cozy with the duvets provided. We cooked a few meals and found everything we needed to do so. Enjoyed the hot tub - the dark, remote location allowed us to see plenty of stars. Sauna was easy to use and to set to the right temperature for our comfort. We used the house as a base station for some excursions. Would love to return with a few good books.

We stayed at the Hekla Horizon houses with hopes of seeing the Northern Lights and it did not disappoint! It was truly wonderful to be able to stay inside the cozy apartment and pop outside when the radar indicated high activity and clear skies (it had been raining and extremely cloudy). The owner was also very responsive and helpful. Our stay was exactly what we needed.

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. We were unfortunately there during terrible winds that made it a little hard to sleep, but the sunrise was absolutely worth it! *Things to keep in mind* • The road isn't paved and has a lot of holes and the walkways are gravel, so it's ideal to get there in the daylight so you can avoid damaging your car and walk safely to your cabin (we weren't so lucky) • Because the cabins are mirrored, the view looks darker than if you were standing outside. My guess is that the northern lights would have to be crazy bright in order to see them from inside your cabin, so the likelyhood of laying in bed while watching them is probably slim. The Northern Lights Lounge (which is fabulous) isn't mirrored and shows the outside in it's true color, so it's aptly named because it is the ideal place to watch the lights from indoors! The winds were too insane for us to try the hot tub or safely venture out to the Lounge to use the sauna, but I'm sure they are fantastic. My over all consensus: book in the spring or summer when the weather isn't so dicey (we were lucky enough to take advantage of the opening discount, but definitely wouldn't have been worth full price with the weather we had since it prevented us from getting to try everything). Check in early so you can enjoy all the amenities. Don't go with the intent of seeing the northern lights, but to enjoy the incredible sunsets/sunrise and enjoy a romantic, spalike experience in a peaceful area. Once in a lifetime experience!

Absolutely gorgeous accommodation with an amazing view. Facilities were excellent, wish we’d stayed longer than one night! We stayed in the Volcano house and the private hot tub and sauna were an excellent way to relax after a busy day of travelling. My partner proposed to me while we watched the sunrise, it was the most beautiful, perfect setting for it! We would love to return next time we come to Iceland!
