Isolated Bliss
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.

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.

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.

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.

Really comfortable villa with a wonderful view
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.

Our favourite house
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.

Magical stay
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.

Great 2nd Visit
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!

The very best of Iceland !
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.
