The house is of contemporary design (a definite plus for us) and one of a group of three detached houses set into a steep west facing slope overlooking the Eyafjord. We stayed 8 nights at the end of June and enjoyed watching the midnight sunsets, passing cruise ships, whale watching vessels, bird life and occasional spouting and diving whales from the terrace. Don't forget your binoculars if you go.

The property is located close enough to Akureyri to take advantage of the supermarkets and other facilities (we especially enjoyed the aviation museum and Botanic Gardens).

We self catered and thought the kitchen adequate for most things but would have found a conventional oven useful. We also missed not having a washing machine. We really enjoyed using the hot tub which is under folding doors on the terrace but found the doors heavy to use and you have to be careful to prop them open properly. Nollur is within reasonable driving distance of most of the best known attractions in northern Iceland including the volcanic areas and waterfalls around Lake Myvatn and the nearby whale watching centres at Grenavik and Husavik. There is an interesting folk museum at nearby Laufas with Icelandic turf "Hobbit houses".

A really good place to stay, close to the bright lights of Aukureyri and the main route around Iceland but far enough off the beaten track to be quiet and secluded. The self catering facilities help reduce the eye watering cost of visiting Iceland and the views, terrace and hot tub mean that it would be possible to spend your whole visit just relaxing there.
