Stunning location with great amenities. The hot tub was amazing—we greatly enjoyed using it multiple times. We utilized the kitchen the whole week we were there, and it had everything we needed. We loved the stereo system. The property location would be dark enough to see the northern lights—but we were unlucky with the weather with cloud coverage while we were there. We may have to return to try again.

This was a great location (under 30 min from Akureyri and on all paved roads) with a PHENOMENAL view. Unfortunately, for us, weird white out fogs rolled into the fjord for chunks of our stay. When the skies were clear, though
WOW! Nice big shower (uncommon for other places we’ve stayed at in Iceland) and the place was clean and we loved the huge windows. Two things to be prepared for
no TV (no big deal for us) and no basic items for cooking (no spices, condiments, etc) and bring detergent if you plan to wash clothes.We really enjoyed our stay.

Erholung mit Ausblick

Wie immer hatten wir eine hervorragende Zeit in Nollur. Das Haus ist fantastisch und sehr gut ausgestattet. Der Blick auf die Landschaft bringt sofortige Entspannung und ist allein dafĂŒr bereits eine Reise wert! Wir können die Unterkunft ausdrĂŒcklich weiterempfehlen und kommen auf jeden Fall erneut wieder.

Everyday, a different view

About 20 minutes from Akureyri, the view alone is reason to stay here. Quiet, inside and out. You can hear the birds and the water. Concrete walls help keep the inside quiet as well. Cool roof with grasses growing. There are stairs to get to the living level. Note they require a non-electric car so do not expect to plug one in.Easy to get to many local tourist areas for day trips such as: horsebackriding(10 min), Husavik (whale watching, Geoseas), Myvatn(Godafoss waterfall, and spa--but we recommend Geosea geothermal bath instead), hiking the Kaldbakur mountain.Inside, the home is appointed well, note there is not a freezer for when you get groceries. Washer and dryer is lovely; shower is spacious. Hot tub takes a while to fill, so plan in advance. Hosts sent PDF with everything we needed, checking in and out was a breeze.

Absolutely spectacular stay on Eyjafjörður!

Stunning property, amazing views! Spotted whales from the hot pot!Top-notch rental with everything considered.-Pre-arrival communication was very thorough, and we received it from Thomas, the host, very early.-Thoroughly enjoyed making some local cuisine while listening to music on the hifi sound system.-Kitchen was fully equipped, though is lacking a freezer. -Bathroom, shower, and laundry were stellar.-Hot pot does take a while to fill, but we were able to work around it. I do wish it were a touch hotter, though, as it’s fixed at 100 F. It was still glorious to enjoy a private soak overlooking the fjord, though!We were completely blown away by this property and this location! We look forward to staying again when we visit Iceland in the future. We hope to return and climb Kaldbakur, the mountain for which this unit is named, which is just a few kilometers down the road.

Der fantastische Ausblick von allen Zimmern auf den Fjord ist einmalig und sowohl bei Sonne als auch bei Regen wunderschön. Die SchlafrĂ€ume sind schön und einladend und wir haben sehr gut geschlafen und uns sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt. Die Ausstattung des Hauses ist hochwertig, mit Ausnahme der Armaturen, die wackeln und spritzen sowie des Geschirrs, das doch recht bunt zusammengewĂŒrfelt und oft abgeschlagen ist. Das passt nicht zum sonst tollen Erscheinungsbild. Obwohl bekannt durch das sehr umfangreiche PDF, das im Voraus versendet wird, ist es doch ungewöhnlich, dass es keinen Kaffee und auch kein Waschmittel gibt, was sonst in 95% der SelbstversorgerunterkĂŒnfte in Island zum Standard gehört. Wir hatten alles dabei, aber es kann leicht ĂŒberlesen werden. Vermisst haben wir einen Grill oder zumindest eine Dunstabzugshaube. Beides hĂ€tte den Geruch beim Kochen verringert. Die Kommunikation war freundlich und informativ. Check-in war easy und ohne Probleme. Sehr ungewöhnlich fanden waren die vielen Kameras, die draußen angebracht waren. Haben wir so in ganz Island noch nicht erlebt, auch nicht in vergleichbar hochwertigen HĂ€usern. Der Hot Pot ist schön, jedoch war er bei unserer Ankunft offen und schmutzig mit Spinnen und Haaren.

Great Snowy Stay

Excellent property and location. Wonderful views and close enough to town to get what you need, but far enough away you have peace and solitude. The views are incredible. House is very well furnished and comfortable.
