Holiday rentals in Iceland

A trip to Iceland is like joining a special club, nobody can quite understand the beauty and charm of the place until they have visited for themselves; expect knowing smiles and nods from fellow Iceland holidaymakers upon your return. Across this small island you can encounter some of the most incredible natural wonders, such as the Vatnajökull ice cap, volcanoes complete with flowing lava, deserted highlands, and the incredible northern lights. A holiday in Iceland is not just about the scenery though, as there is plenty of hip and happening goings on, with capital Reykjavík well known for its music scene – Björk and Sigur Rós – art, restaurants and nightlife.

Renting holiday accommodation in Iceland

If you want to party like the locals then follow their lead and drink at your Iceland holiday rental to avoid the costly bars, joining up with the crowds after midnight when they start to fill up; this would not be possible in your hotel, where you would be much more restricted. On top of freedom to cook meals, drink some of the local tipples and hang out in your own privacy, your Iceland apartment or house with HouseTrip will also save you money when compared to pricier hotels.

Where to stay in Iceland

Given Iceland’s relatively small size, it is an easy to navigate island with decent transport links. HouseTrip boasts a growing array of Icelandic properties for all sizes of groups. Within a couple of clicks you can book your dream self-catering Icelandic property. The capital Reykjavík is easy to walk around, so wherever you choose to stay, from a larger house in the suburbs to a trendy city centre apartment or cosier flat around the stunning docks area, you will still feel that you have experienced the true Iceland experience. There are a number of options available to match your every need and requirement with HouseTrip, for couples, families and groups of friends.

Iceland with the family

There are a number of family friendly activities to take part in across Iceland, from natural landscapes and wildlife to outdoorsy activities and more. Whale watching is a must in Iceland, and is particularly popular in the summer months, where your family can expect to spot over 20 different types of whale. If you are a family of adrenaline junkies then there is plenty to fill your time with, from white water rafting and caving to horse riding and swimming in the infamous hot waters of the Blue Lagoon. Although Reykjavík is a relatively peaceful city when compared with many others around the world, a trip to Snæfellsnes, with its beaches, ice caps and fjords, is a peaceful escape.
