Dear readers,
The northern lights begin appearing in August, and many guests have witnessed this enchanting spectacle with us—often seeing it live for the first time.
Stracta Apartments, part of the Stracta Hotel brand, offers 28 self-catering accommodations on Orustustaðir farm in southeastern Iceland.
The main landmark here is Orustuhóll (Battle Hill), renowned for its impressive shape and the legends of Iceland’s hidden people that surround it.
Stracta Apartments provide two accommodation options: two-bedroom apartments well-suited for families or groups, and studio apartments ideal for couples.
Set in a rural location, Stracta Apartments Orustustaðir delivers an authentic wilderness retreat. A stay of two to three nights is recommended as an ideal base to explore local attractions such as Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon, Dverghamrar cliffs, Fossá river and waterfall.
This region is celebrated for its winter activities, boasting stunning views of Vatnajökull, Iceland’s largest glacier. From October through March, visitors can join guided glacier hikes and ice cave tours led by experienced local guides.
Skaftafell National Park, just an hour east, offers hiking trails for all skill levels. Atlantsflug Skaftafell – Flightseeing operates from Skaftafell, giving travellers the unique opportunity to see the landscape from above—a highly recommended experience. Only 40 minutes farther lies the celebrated Glacier Lagoon, where you can enjoy guided boat and kayak tours year-round.
We are truly at nature’s doorstep, and with some luck, you might catch the northern lights dancing across the vast wilderness of Orustustaðir.
Feel free to contact us at info@orustustadir.is. Our team is dedicated, service-minded, and has excellent local knowledge.
Winter wishes,
The Stracta Apartments Orustustaðir team
