Why Choose an Apartment in Husavik

A Husavik apartment gives you more flexibility than a standard hotel room, especially in a small town where restaurant options are limited. Here are some of the main benefits:

  • Cook your own meals: Prepare breakfast before an early whale watching tour or enjoy dinner after a day exploring the Diamond Circle without relying on restaurant hours.
  • More space for families and groups: Separate bedrooms, a living area, and laundry facilities in many apartments make longer stays more comfortable than a standard hotel room.
  • Ideal for road trips: Most apartments include free parking, so you can explore North Iceland's top attractions easily with a rental car.
  • Great value for longer stays: Self-catering facilities and extra living space help reduce travel costs while giving you more freedom throughout your trip.

How To Choose the Best Apartment in Husavik

Choosing the right apartment in Husavik depends on your location, group size, travel plans, and preferred amenities. Keep these tips in mind when comparing properties and planning your stay.

  • Choose your location: Stay near the harbor for easy access to whale-watching tours, restaurants, and the Husavik Whale Museum. Properties on the edge of town offer more space and convenient parking.
  • Consider your group size: A one-bedroom apartment is usually enough for couples and solo travelers, while families and groups may prefer multiple bedrooms and more living space.
  • Look for useful amenities: Full kitchens are handy for preparing meals, while laundry facilities can be useful during longer road trips around North Iceland.
  • Think about your itinerary: If you're using Husavik as a base for exploring North Iceland, choose an apartment with easy road access and parking.
  • Book early for summer: June to August is the busiest period in Husavik, so reserve your apartment early for the best selection.
