Description
Experience a relaxing stay in Husavik at Askja Apartment, a three-minute walk from the harbor where whale-watching boats leave throughout the day. This three-bedroom apartment sleeps six and puts restaurants, shops, and museums within walking distance, ideal for families and groups wanting a central, self-catering accommodation in North Iceland.
Location & Nearby
Askja Apartment sits on Gardarsbraut in central Husavik, a fishing town on Skjalfandi Bay known as Iceland's whale-watching capital. The location is close enough to the harbor, shops, and restaurants that a car is not needed to get around town, whether you're headed out on a boat tour or back for the night.
Within a few minutes' walk, guests reach restaurants, cafes, a swimming pool, banks, and grocery stores. The harbor, where boats leave several times a day for whale-watching tours, is a short walk from the apartment.
Husavik's timber church and the Husavik Whale Museum are both an easy walk from the apartment, as are the GeoSea Geothermal Sea Baths, where outdoor pools look out over the bay.
Husavik Golf Club is 2 miles (3 kilometers) away, and Godafoss Waterfall is a 29-mile (47-kilometer) drive. Lake Myvatn, with its geothermal fields and lava formations, is about 34 miles (55 kilometers) away, roughly an hour's drive.
Asbyrgi Canyon is 38 miles (62 kilometers) from the apartment, and Dettifoss Waterfall, Europe's most powerful waterfall, is 57 miles (92 kilometers) away on a mix of paved and gravel roads. Akureyri, North Iceland's largest town, also makes for an easy day trip.
Facilities & Amenities
At 170 square meters (1,830 square feet), Askja Apartment has three bedrooms: one with a queen bed and two with twin beds, sleeping up to six guests. Floors are a mix of tile and parquet, with each room having a wardrobe, and beds come already made, with fresh towels provided.
The single bathroom has a walk-in shower and a hairdryer. Past guests often mention its size, useful when six people are sharing one bathroom.
The kitchen is fully equipped with a refrigerator, oven, stovetop, microwave, dishwasher, coffee machine, and toaster, plus a dining area for meals in. The living room has a flat-screen TV with Icelandic and international channels.
A private balcony looks out over Skjalfandi Bay and the mountains beyond, a good spot for morning coffee, an evening view, or watching for the northern lights on a clear winter night.
Free Wi-Fi and free on-site private parking are included, and the apartment is non-smoking throughout. Check-in runs from 4 to 10 p.m. and check-out is by 11 a.m. Children of all ages are welcome, with a crib available on request, though pets are not allowed.
Why Choose Askja Apartment?
Look out over Skjalfandi Bay from the private balcony at Askja Apartment, especially in the evening as boats return from whale watching and the light shifts over the water. Three bedrooms and a full kitchen make it easy to cook, relax, and spread out as a family or group after a day on North Iceland's Diamond Circle. Check availability now by choosing a date.
