Our house - Isikkivik - is located on the eastern edge of Narsaq, at the foot of the Savaasat Qaqqaat (Greenlandic for 'Goat's Mountain'). It's a blue cottage with a picture window and a large wooden deck facing south that provides a full view of the fjord, the entire town, nearby islands, and the ice cap.
A fully furnished house …
Isikkivik has 27 sq. m. of living space (290 sq. ft.), including a living room in the front with a dining table, a comfy fold-out sofa, well-stocked multi-lingual bookshelves, and plenty of drawer and storage space. There are chairs and a table for the front deck, and a tiny bedroom at the back. You can cook full-course meals in the well-furnished kitchen with its gas stove and oven. The house has hot & cold running water during the summer. Isikkivik is an ideal nest for two people.
… kept simple
Many Greenlanders live in small wooden houses, often without running water, central heating or flush toilets. Isikkivik has a chemical toilet that is emptied three times a week. There is no shower. A modern electric heater keeps the place nice and cozy on cold days.
