The large villa on the shore of icelands largest fjord offers a luxery interior, great views and a "feel like at home" for some special holidays. Highly recommended. Special thank to Thomas for his help.

This is a gorgeous property with stunning views. Everything inside and out was truly perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub, morning coffees on the deck, and lounging until late listening to music. The entire space was meticulously decorated and very clean. Staying here is worth shifting your itinerary if necessary.
Make sure to go to Akureyri too. It’s just a short drive away, and a wonderful place to visit.

A stunning home overlooking the fjord and mountains but still close to a major town for necessities. Watching the sun set over the mountains at midnight from the hot tub is an experience I will remember for a long time. The home was nicely stocked and had everything we needed. Thomas was great with instructions and overall communication. The hot tub cover is a little tricky to use and takes a long time to fill but great once you are in! Otherwise I would just recommend some new pillows as a minor update. Overall though, this was one of the the most beautiful places I've ever stayed.

This is a nice modern house in a fantastic location overlooking the fjord. One of our favorite stays in Iceland. Note that the house was missing some basics, such as shampoo, body wash and coffee (but there is a coffee maker), which is quite unusual for Iceland and was a bit of an unpleasant surprise - make sure to plan accordingly. Otherwise, a perfect stay and a good base for exploring Lake Myvatn, Husavik, Akureyri, etc.

Another great stay at Nollur after an extended absence due to the Covid years. Everything as we remembered and lucky with the weather again

We loved this property and the views were amazing. We stayed for 2 nights and had everything we needed. We used this home to visit Akureyri and Husavik.

We could not have enjoyed our stay here more! The home and location are just beautiful beyond words, and the hosts were wonderful with a well stocked place and detailed info packet sent about the unit and the surrounding area. We will definitely be back!

An unforgettable view from a fabulous holiday home, including whale watching from the hot tub and northern lights.

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.

This is our 2nd time staying in Kaldbakur and by far our favourite house in Iceland or possibly in entire world. Clean, quiet, warm and very comfortable. We got snowed in for 2 days during our stay and we just enjoyed spending time in the house relaxing, listening to the music, soaking in the hot tub, appreciating the incredible views, etc.
We love this place and it certainly will not be the last time we stay here. Will be back again soon.

Our family of four enjoyed our quiet stay. There was plenty of things to do during the day: whale watching, waterfalls, lava falls, shopping and dining. The view from the house was lovely and we really liked soaking in the hot pot after a full day of sightseeing.
5.0
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

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.

As the title suggests, this is literally the best home rental I've ever purchased. The photos are beautiful, but it's impossible for them to capture the charming details of the space and the majesty of the mountain range and fjord that sit right outside the back door. I came with four friends for a trip around Iceland and we stayed here for two nights. My friends were equally floored; even more so when we caught a memorable Northern Lights show through the large glass windows with the crystal clear sound system playing in the background. I could go on, but just go ahead and rent this place -- you'll be so glad you did.

The property manager was very thorough, giving us a booklet on the do’s and do nots of the property. We did have to call on the person who oversees the property and they were very helpful with helping us. The views were stunning when we come back to Iceland we will definitely be staying here again..

Stunning property location with unsurpassed view !!
Our family cannot say enough about our overall experience at this location, whether it be the scenery from your front window, the sheep, oh how I loved the sheep neighbourhood, the property amenities such as the hot tub and nearby hiking, etc. etc.

Everything was wonderful
It started with the excellent communication with the host-- the guide to the rental was the best one I've ever encountered
The views from the living room and sauna were amazing
Appliances were high end and worked well
We also really liked the music system
only thing missing was a freezer in the fridge for ice
And the hottub was great and we made good use of it
The location was also was convenient for exploring northern iceland
Overall we really enjoyed ourselves during our stay and would recommend it to anyone staying in this part of iceland

We stayed in the Kaldbakur house at Nollur for 11 nights in July and it was a very enjoyable stay. The house is spacious, well equipped, and was very clean when we arrived. The view over the fjord is spectacular and we enjoyed many late nights on the porch taking in the scenery. There is a hotpot (jacuzzi) on the porch that takes a couple of hours to fill but is then very nice to relax in. Driving into Akureyri takes about 20-25 minutes which is worth keeping in mind for those that like more proximity. Communication with Thomas and his team was great throughout.
Three minor things I'd suggest for an even better experience: 1) The grill is a bit old at this point and could use being replaced (or at least thoroughly cleaned and having the burners checked). 2) As far as we could tell, the property has no freezer, so we couldn't bring things like ice cream and other frozen things back to keep. 3) Our rental was a hybrid but the only outside plug was in front of another rental property. It would be great to install a couple of other plugs since hybrids and EVs are becoming more and more popular.

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.

We have stayed in this house twice and would stay again. Everything was great. Location is almost perfect. Close enough to town but far enough to get away. High end furnishings and decor. As an American would like a freezer to keep ice in. Communication with hosts was great.

We don't want the secret to be out, but this location is incredible! The style of the house is unique and very picturesque. The location on the bay has stunning views in every direction. The house is well appointed with great amenities. Thomas was friendly and unobtrusive, but there if you need him. I would definitely stay again and highly recommend this property for anyone staying in the area.
PS: Sorry about the bird, Thomas. I didn't think there was an appropriate bin for it to go in.

We really enjoyed our stay. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen fully equipped, just bring your own coffee.
The hot tub and the view are mind blowing. We have been able to spot whales in the distance (bring binnoculars) from the hot tub.

This was an excellent rental property. Clean, well appointed, private, and with stunning views. It’s proximity to Akureyri, Husavik, and the Diamond Circle make for fantastic day trips. Communicating with the owners was simple and efficient. Will definitely return for a longer stay in the future.

This is the 2nd time we've stayed at this home. We've visited Akureyri for spring break with the kids two years in a row. Kaldbakur is such a perfect choice for us - cozy, clean and comfortable in a stunning natural setting. We look forward to our 3rd visit!
5.0
The pictures do not do this place justice! The views are incredible, king bed was very comfortable, and we loved the location for the solitude and privacy with easy access to Akureyri. While we didn't cook or use the hot tub, the kitchen looked to be fully equipped and we appreciated the thoughtful and detailed suggestions for day trips and dining. I highly recommend this place!

Absolutely wonderful place with views of the fjord that are beautiful. We stayed in the winter and greatly enjoyed soaking in the hotpot while watching the snow. Perfect size for a family.

This property is everything one could dream of for a relaxing and rejuvenating holiday. The house is perfectly situated overlooking the fjord, mountains, and lovely city of Akureyri. Just a short drive to town with amazing restaurants, shopping, and very friendly locals. The property owner Thomas was kind, responsive, and accommodating. Truly a piece of heaven on earth. The cherry on top is my Fiancé proposed to me here :)
