"Absolutely stunning location and a MUST for northern lights. The house was perfectly equipped for our needs and added to our magical experience. "

"Loved the amenities! Had a hot tub, sauna, darts and billiards!"

"This was one of our favorite stays in Iceland, mainly because this is where we got to see the most incredible Northern lights! The place was nice and cozy. Very little outside lightning to allow guests to wait for the northern lights. Wonderful place, could’ve had more bacon, but loved our stay here!"

"Amazing hot tub with good view of the sky to view aurora. Comfortable room in quiet part of town with shop near by."

"Very nice and cozy"

"Communication was excellent. Nice, quiet location. You have to fill the tub yourself on arrival which takes some time, but instructions were clear and easy. A great spot!"

"The ultimate in relaxation, peace and calmness. This was our third stay in one of the properties at this location and we fall more in love each time. The accommodation has everything you could need, and between the hot pot and the views, you’ll never want to leave."

"Really great location to stay the night before the ferry ride to Grimsey Island!"

"The setting could not have been more gorgeous at this house, set along a lovely fjord with crystal blue ocean waters. We spent hours relaxing in the Icelandic "hot pot" (hot tub) in the rear of the property, soaking muscles and clearing our minds. (Unfortunately we were not as lucky as other reviewers and did not see any whales, but we did spot a seal near the local harbor.)The house was clean and spacious, easily big enough for 4-5 people. Owner Thomas emailed us a very helpful, 30-page guide to the house and surrounding region, with advice on local attractions. If you like to kayak, I'd recommend checking out Cape Tours, which is based a block away, and whale-watching in Hauganes, directly across the harbor.Grenivik is a bit out of the way. It's about a half-hour's drive from Akureyri and adds that much more time to trips to Lake Myvatn, Dettifoss, Husavik. etc. But to us, it was worth it to enjoy the beauty and isolation. We loved our stay."
