Simply perfect

My wife an I had an absolutely lovely stay. The house is beautiful, and the location is just amazing. We enjoyed the view over the fjord from the hot pot, and watching the Northern Lights right out of the bedroom. Just a short drive from Akureyri but a perfect little secluded hideaway with all the conveniences of home.

Lovely home!

We loved the location of the home, not too far from town but far enough to be peaceful. Views were amazing and house was very comfortable. It does not have a freezer so this is just something to plan for.

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.

Fantastic stay!

This property and the farm at Nollur are great choices for a few nights or a few weeks in North Iceland. The property has every convenience you need and is very comfortable. The owner and his staff are friendly and quick to respond to any questions or requests. Details matter and this property will not disappoint!! The location is perfect for day trips or just relaxing and enjoying the view from your windows. The hotpot overlooks the gorgeous fjord and is welcome after a long day of hiking or sightseeing. This was our third stay here and I can’t wait to book the next visit.

The BEST ever!

The overall impression is excellent. The quiet and the peace - non plus ultra. It's a true oasis. We definitely yearn to come back one day - maybe in a different season. This is our 4th time in Iceland and the stay in Nollur was amongst the best. WE LOVE ICELAND - Thank you Thomas Susanna and Rolf

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.

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.

Der fantastische Ausblick von allen Zimmern auf den Fjord ist einmalig und sowohl bei Sonne als auch bei Regen wunderschön. Die Schlafräume sind schön und einladend und wir haben sehr gut geschlafen und uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Ausstattung des Hauses ist hochwertig, mit Ausnahme der Armaturen, die wackeln und spritzen sowie des Geschirrs, das doch recht bunt zusammengewürfelt 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 Selbstversorgerunterkünfte in Island zum Standard gehört. Wir hatten alles dabei, aber es kann leicht überlesen werden. Vermisst haben wir einen Grill oder zumindest eine Dunstabzugshaube. Beides hätte 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 Häusern. Der Hot Pot ist schön, jedoch war er bei unserer Ankunft offen und schmutzig mit Spinnen und Haaren.

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.
