Life-changing experience with breathtaking views of the fjord. Unforgettable Memories
5/5 Stayed Nov 2018

The Kaldbakur home on the Nollur property was perhaps the greatest part of our 9 day trip to Iceland.
Every morning we would wake up to breathtaking views of the fjord with the sun rising from behind the mountains, and at night there were panoramic views of the moon and northern lights view-able from every room.
The wrap-around decking made photographing the scenic views easy whether it was catching the warm sunlight on the mountains or the vibrant northern lights in the evening. Because the house is removed from the city lights we had a great view of the northern lights and saw several shooting stars at night as well.
The home had all ultra-modern equipment to include washer and dryer, stove and oven. There was a very user-friendly hot tub that made watching the northern lights an amazing experience from the geothermally-heated waters.
We chose to stay at the Nollur home for all 9 days of our stay in Iceland and make day trips out to local places like Lake Myvatn, the Myvatn Nature Baths, Laufas, and many more. This worked out perfectly as Nollur is ideally located within a short driving distance from Akureyri and Grenivik as well as many other great places to visit.
Lastly, the staff and homeowner were very kind and communicated well. They were very accommodating and were fast to respond to questions. Very gracious hosts.
If you plan on staying in North Iceland, Nollur needs to be your place to stay.
Unforgettable experiences and memories. Thank you for a wonderful time!

This property is beautiful and the views outside are even better. The property is large, clean and beautifully presented. It had everything we needed for out stay. The views outside were stunning and we couldn't get enough of them. The hot tub does take a while to fill up so you have to plan ahead however it stay lovely and warm for a while once filled. We were lucky enough to see the northern lights from the property as it is about a 20minute drive from Akureyri and so there are not many lights around!

We truly enjoyed our stay. One glitch. They were not aware of our arrival so the house was not ready for us. After a day of travel this was not optimal. Once we settled in it was everything we could have wanted. Rooms comfortable convient to everything. Thanks. Hopefully we will be back

What a lovely home away to start our vacation in. Clean. Spacious. More house than we needed but it was a house which was really nice. Super quiet and peaceful views. What a way to start our vacation. Perfect way to destress from life.
About an hour away from the Myvatn area but no black flies!!
I don’t think any other place will top this one.

This is an exquisitely beautiful property set in a breathtaking taking location 20 min N of Akureyri
5/5 Stayed Jul 2018
Meticulously designed and constructed, this 2BR, 1 Bath Home rests on a serene plot of land overlooking the Eyjafjordur (Island Fjord) 20 minutes north of Akureyri. Every room in the home has a breathtaking unobstructed view of the water and mountains on the other side of the fjord. The home is constructed of concrete with high-end finishes that make for a modern, elegant, and functional respite. We found the home to be incredibly quiet and peaceful. We used the hot tub every day and enjoyed spectacular late-night Summer sunsets over the water. The owner and the property manager were incredibly friendly and accommodating. We’ll definitely be staying here again during our next trip to Iceland!
