    We had fun and games trying to get a shower that wasn’t cold or scalding! But otherwise nothing not to love about this place.

    Amazing, remote location with spectacular views. Modern, clean “kit house” with excellent kitchenette. And lovely Nespresso coffee machine :-)

    Nothing to point out.

    First of all the hosts Karl and Hanna were really helpful and responsive, the house was one of the most unique houses i have ever been, also the location was very unique and remote with a beautiful view towards the ocean, also its 13 min drive from the town Akureyri. I got engaged with my girl here, so this place will stay like one of the most special memories that i will have in my life. I highly recommend this houses on north for everyone who is traveling the ring road.

    Hands down the best place we stayed in in all of Iceland (7 days). The tiny house was cozy, clean, and outfitted perfectly. Would 100% come back here. The beds were wonderful and the view was unforgettable.

    I didn't like the fact the window in the bathroom left really cold air in because it didn't quite shut tight.

    The location, view and the amenities left for us was great.

    The bed is on the second level and I think the stairs might be tricky for folks with limited mobility.

    The location is close enough to Akureyri that you can quickly travel in for a meal but far enough away from town to feel like a little wild. The cabins are small but comfortable and have this perfect combo of modern and natural design -- they fit perfectly into the landscape. The space stayed warm, the wifi was strong, and the beds were comfortable. The views are beautiful, and we saw the northern lights on our first night!!

    The views are stunning and I could imagine a wonderful spot to stargaze and if you're lucky catch the Northern lights. Unfortunately for us, it was raining and the clouds made it hard to spot any stars. Location was great - close to Akureyri, and just off the highway. Really beautiful spot.

    Windows don't have screens so be careful in the summer with flies

    Full privacy in your own cabin. Stove top, toaster, griddle, coffee maker with pots and pans. Small fridge, full shower and bathroom, we also had a fan in the bedroom and spectacular views. Short drive into the city. This has honestly been the best place we've stayed on our entire trip of the island

    The price was high.

    The key to this property is the self-contained, freestanding unit, over-looking the Fjord. ( Unit 2). There is no TV, but with those large windows looking out at the world who could want one. We were able to prepare meals with the small but good facilities, & had access to a laundry for the vital re-stock of clean clothes.

    Lovely house with amazing views

    • Couple

    The blinds weren't good enough to make the place dark, which is evident during the summer months, but it was decent. The temperature during the night got quite hot even when it was 10 degrees outside. We couldn't open the windows as the area is very exposed and had high winds. If a window is open we heard loud whistling between the window and door (which has gaps in it's insulation). We asked the host for dish soap, and they didn't respond in the 2 days we were there. The bathroom was also tiny, but usable.

    A lovely small house with great views to the ocean bay and multiple mountains. A bit far from Akureyri but this wasn't a problem from us as it was on the scenic road avoiding the toll tunnel (views are beautiful during the summer on this road). The house is easy to reach from the road (no long gravel roads as in other places we visited). The accommodation is comfortable and has pretty much what you need for a day or two stay.
