Outstanding stay in an Icelandic treasure
Amazing views and an amazing space. Huge and comfortable home with all the amenities, close to the best spa in Iceland and the beautiful city of Akureyri. Owner was very responsive and accommodating and hot tub was an added luxury that was well appreciated. Overall an excellent stay, very highly recommend for any kind of weather or adventure.

Great stay in Akureyri
Amazing property just minutes from Akureyri centre, and close to most activities in this area and Diamond circle. The house is comfortable and has everything you need for a nice stay. Our favourite part was the outdoor hot tub, especially late at night while enjoying the spectacular Northern lights (two nights in a row). Looking forward to come back during summer time!

Perfect setting and location for northern Iceland stay
The house was in great condition sitting on the side of a snow covered mountain and overlooking Akureyri. It was overcast every night, yet on our last night it cleared up and we fulfilled our bucket list of seeing the Northern Lights around midnight from the driveway of the house. Highly recommend this house, and before, during and after we left, Thomas was very responsive to every message we left for him.

Amazing location in Akureyri
Beautiful location and property.. very clean and tidy..well apointed facilities. Great hot tub..lighting was a bit confusing but managed to sort it out by the end (our fault).couldn’t get any tv channels working or the sound system..minor issues really as we was out most of the time..i did find the bedding wasn’t warm enough at night and might suggest bigger and warmer quilt . And only 3 beds made up and couldn’t access any additional bedding.but would recommend this property and we would stay again if we come back to Akureyri.

Beautiful place, wonderful stay!
We were so pleased with our stay at Nollur Leifsstadir! It is very close to town, and at the same time very private - a great combination. We received a very detailed and informative guide to the property ahead of our stay. It included not just good information about the house but also about activities, restaurants etc. We can verify that Bakaríid vid Bruna is a fantastic bakery, and Strikid is a really good restaurant. (We went for Sunday brunch and it was lovely.) The view from the large living area was so good that we did not even have to go outside to see the northern lights! The kitchen was adequately supplied, bed was very comfortable as was the living room furniture. Bathroom was very nice with an *amazing* shower. It was especially helpful to have access to washer and dryer. And we loved the hot tub which gave us a view of the fjord and the chance to stargaze and listen to ducks and geese. Unlike a Jacuzzi, this tub is so simple: flip a switch inside the house to fill it with perfect clean, clear (no chemicals) very warm (~101°F) water, wait about an hour, then soak to your heart’s content. Afterwards, flip the switch back to drain the water. Perfect! I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an exceptional stay in Akureyri.

Big and bright house, a lot of space
House is great. big and bright. The inside it might be more of a villa. It is out given for eight people but only has 3 beer glasses and 3 red vin glasses. The lamp in the living room is broken and taped up and tv old and small. Outside is a big terrace but no comfort in sheers or anything there . Also I would recommend cleaning stuff for the guest if they need.

Great Home Base in Northern Iceland
We stayed at this property for 5 days. Beautiful location with views into the fjord and mountains. Cannot beat the hot tub for an end of day soak after hiking hard. Location: The house is a mile outside the city which is convienent. It's 1 to 1.5 hrs from Havik (whales), Myvatn (geothermal), Gotafoss, Drangey (puffins) and most of the "true" northern attractions. Beds: It says it sleeps 8 but I would say comfortable sleep could be found for 6 adults and 2 kids. If someone is willing to sleep on a hard fold out and or living room couch you could stretch it to 8 adults (be aware if you have back problems, the beds are not great). Bring a pillow if you can as there is only 1 per person. Kitchen: Has most of the basic things you might need. Limited cookware will hamper a chef but basic cold meals can be done. We were a bit disappointed that the knives there were poor quality and dull as we did a fishing trip and brought fish back to clean but had no way to do so with these knives. Washer and Dryer: Washer works great and can handle small/med loads. Also provided detergent which was nice to avoid wasting a bunch. The dryer simply doesnt dry, you need to run 2 or 3 cycles tonget clothes dry. Alternatively you can use the clothes line outside which works fine if not in a rush. Administration: We had some great interactions with the host as well the management/cleaner. Seemed like it was wellmanaged.
