From the owner

The cabin is located in Vaðlaheiði the exclusive residence area of Akureyri. This location offers you a quiet atmosphere and a touch of the nature. You will have a view over the bay and Akureyri . In the winter time you can enjoy the aurora Borealis and in the summer time the midnight sun.

Akureyri is just 10 min. drive. In Akureyri you have all kinds of shops, restaurants, many cafés, different galleries and there are lots of professional music concerts as well all summer music festival

There is an easy access not only to the center of Akureyri but also all the interesting sites surrounding.

From the cabin you can take a hiking tours, you can walk up to Sulur, the mountain above Akureyri, you can hire horses for daily tours or a midnight sun ride, visit naturally heated swimming pool, you can hire kayaks or join professional diving, play golf on the northern most 18 whole golf ground, go on a angling trip, have a walk along the fjord and then I like to tell you about the birthplace and home of heli skiing in Iceland, the Troll Peninsula in the country just below the Arctic Circle. In winter, ski or do cross-country skiing in the best ski resort with view of the fjord, amazing! Or dog sledging with our huskies and snowshoe walks or fishing through ice.

And then it is very popular to drive the road skirting the beautiful western shore of the Eyjafjordur Fjord, visit the magnificent waterfalls, Goðafoss and Dettifoss, Dimmuborgir, Mývatn, the Grand Canyon of Jökulsárgljúfur and whale watching in Húsavík. It is also possible to take an organized day trip from Akureyri to the island of Grimsey, which straddles the Arctic Circle.

It is easy to get to Akureyri!

Icelandair is offering flights to Akureyri. So it is as well just a 45 Min. flight from Reykjavik downtown to Akureyri. It is only a 7km drive from the airport to our cabin. If you are driving, Akureyri is on the ringroad and is a approx. 5 hour drive from Reykjavik. To stay in Vaðlaheiði you need a car.
