Kast Guesthouse provides accommodation, camping and nature

The silver and white lines of Kast Guesthouse stand out in stark contrast to the earthy tones of the surrounding nature here on the south shore of Snæfellsnes Peninsula. To the south, the waters of Faxaflói Bay lap gently upon the shore and to the north, craggy rhyolite mountains rise up directly behind the guesthouse. In the distance, the glacier-topped Snæfellsnes Volcano sits serenely in all its splendour, just waiting to be explored.

Just a few minutes walk from the guesthouse is the Lýsuhólslaug swimming pool; one of the few pools in the world where you can bathe in naturally carbonated geothermal water with not a drop of chlorine. The water is rich in minerals and its healing properties are especially effective for eczema and psoriasis. At winter time the opening hours are irregular but they try to keep it open when weather allows, so look them up on Facebook to keep tabs on the opening hours. hestar 10.02.2015 128
