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.

Great Snowy Stay
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
