Repeat renters

This was our second stay at Kaldbakur. We love the location and the view! And we especially appreciate the design elements of this house. Mr Sietz is a fabulous architect/designer! We cooked all of our dinners at the house. The kitchen is sufficiently supplied but you need to bring all food items except for salt/pepper. The bed is very comfortable and the hot pot a real treat! We hope to come back again.

Nordlichter

Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Das Haus ist wunderschön. Der Backofen war schmutzig. Der Kontakt mit dem Vermieter war freundlich und unkompliziert. Unser Backofenproblem wurde schnell gelöst!Einziger Nachteil des Hauses ist ein sehr durchgelegenes Schlafsofa! Wir würden trotzdem immerwieder buchen!

Beautiful location & home!

Very quiet and remote, which is what we were looking for. Spectacular views from all the windows! Perfect for watching the Northern Lights. Grocery stores and restaurants were only 25 minute drive in good weather. Very comfortable beds. Spacious 2 bedroom accommodations to spread out. Good cooking facilities. All appliances worked well! Missed that there was no freezer and had purchased frozen food. Lovely hot tub overlooking the water. If there is snow, you do need to shovel a very large area.

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.

Great Home, Fantastic View!

This home (Kaldbakur) and its location are remarkable. First, the setting: It’s on the Eyjafjörður Fjord and is very near the water with no structures in between. We had snow just before we arrived and the view was incredibly beautiful. The aurora arrived that first night (KP Index of 5) and it was amazing. This location is suitably dark (and beautiful) for aurora photography. So, if you don’t feel like trekking out into the darkness, you can a get nice aurora photos from your house (assuming the right camera and lens). Every morning, a herd of sleep walks between the home and the water to graze (usually away from the house). In the evening, they head back to wherever they spend the night. It’s quite fun to watch. Regarding how the hot pot (hot tub) works, it takes roughly two hours to fill. You fill it by turning a key in the kitchen pantry. It is large and deep so you do not need to wait for it to become completely full to get in (saves a little water, too). I’d guess the temperature is around 102-103 F. In other words, perfect for a soak. New hot water continues to feed into the hot pot, maintaining the temperature. It is surrounded by the house on three sides and is therefore protected from wind. After you get out, turn the key in the pantry and the hot pot drains. The house is nicely decorated in a modern style. Large windows bring the view into every room. It is a lovely place to spend time in. Would I recommend this rental? Absolutely!

Traumhafte Auszeit am Eyjafjörður!

Diese Ferienwohnung ist einfach ein Traum! Die Lage mitten in der atemberaubenden Landschaft am Eyjafjörður ist unglaublich schön und das Haus selbst versprüht mit seinem modernen Charme eine ganz besondere Atmosphäre. Ein Highlight ist wie immer der Hot Pot, in dem man nach einem erlebnisreichen Tag wunderbar entspannen kann. Wir waren jetzt schon zum dritten Mal hier und sind jedes Mal wieder begeistert. Der Service ist top und auch wenn das Interieur etwas in die Jahre gekommen ist, sieht man bei diesem Haus gerne darüber hinweg! Absolute Empfehlung für alle, die Ruhe und Erholung inmitten einer atemberaubenden Natur suchen!

Comfortable stay with breathtaking views

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.
