Akurgerði Guesthouse 8 - Country Life Style

Akurgerdi Guesthouse 8 - Country LifeStyle is a well-equipped vacation home situated under the hills of Ingolfsfjall mountain in Olfus. This wooden lodge has the best of both worlds - everything you need is close by but in the tranquility of nature – and benefits from fantastic views over the surrounding countryside. It’s an ideal place to stay for Iceland Golden Circle tours or self-driving tours.

Location & Nearby

The most remarkable feature of Akurgerði Guesthouse 8 - Country LifeStyle is its idyllic surroundings. Guests have described it as paradise and the views of the surrounding scenery are simply breathtaking. Close to the accommodation, there are hiking trails, opportunities for kayaking, and places for horseback riding. Iceland is famous for its hot springs and this area is no different. You can hike to the lesser-known Reykjadalur hot spring which is usually quieter than some of the Golden Circle sights. If that isn’t enough swimming for you, Hveragerdi open-air swimming pool is also nearby. This geothermal pool just north of town also offers a natural steam room and is a great option for families as children love splashing about in the warm waters. Just 12 miles (19 kilometers) away is one of Iceland’s famous waterfalls, the Ljosifoss waterfall. This waterfall is used to generate green energy for the country and so there is a power station next to it.
