About this house rental

CHANGES FOR 2025 - ALL ROOMS WITH PRIVATE BATHROOM/SHOWER

Please note the base price is for 12 people (or less), adding additional guests will incur an extra charge pp/pn.

Our house is a magnificent converted old school house in the southern lowlands of Iceland.
The Old School House is the perfect base to explore the many attractions of southern Iceland - Gullfoss, Geysir, The Black Beach or walk in the divide between the North-American and Eurasian continental plates at Þingvellir.

Our cozy guest kitchen is fully equipped for all your culinary adventures with seating for 30+ people. Most groups self cater; however, we can provide tray bakes or a dedicated caterer if you require. Please contact us for details.
Supermarkets and other amenities are a 10 min drive away in the town of Selfoss.

We have a beautiful atrium garden (protected from the elements), which provides the perfect place to sit (or swing in a hammock) and marvel at the stunning Icelandic countryside. There are many breakout spaces at The Old School House - so even in a larger group there will be always be somewhere for you to get away for some 'me time'.

There is a hot tub which, of course, provides a perfect spot for stargazing and admiring the Northern Lights.

We have become very popular with groups organising their wedding or retreat (yoga, wellness etc). We are able to provide many facilities/amenities to make such stays go smoothly - please contact us directly for details.

Great place to stay! What a special home with great hosts. It is very centrally located to a lot of amazing adventure stops. We had a group coming for yoga and there was a HUGE space to practice in and they even provided yoga mats, blankets, blocks. They really thought of everything. The kitchen is well stocked with two fridges and plenty of tables, dishes, etc. We really enjoyed our trip and would totally come back.

The schoolhouse was exactly what we were looking for with our large group with kids 2-6. Lots of space to play inside and outside. Good spot to explore the South of Iceland, close to the ocean as well as Selfoss. Fantastic smelling hand soap and a great Kitchen and dining hall to have meals in. The hosts were very helpful and responsive when we had questions.

We celebrated our wedding in Iceland and chose this amazing house to stay with our friends and family. There was plenty of space for all of us and we really enjoyed the fully enclosed atrium as well as the hot tub. It was also nice that the kitchen was separate from the area with all the bedrooms because we didn't need to worry about walking people up. Greg and Magnea were excellent hosts that were attentive to anything we needed and made sure we were well taken care of. The location is close to Selfoss when there's plenty of options for food as well as 2 grocery stores and a liquor store. Rt 1 is all about 10 minutes from the house where you can stop and see many popular attractions on the way to Vik.

Beautiful place to stay as we explored Iceland with day trips. The Garden room was a hit as we gathered at night to share our experiences. Magnea and Greg were very accommodating for our 50 year reunion.

We were so fortunate to find this rental as we had planned an Iceland wedding with visitors from Norway and the US. We had a large group of 22 people, and the eight bedrooms worked perfect. The beds were very comfortable, the linens were clean, and rooms were private with very little noise transmitting through the walls. The absolute best part of the property is the covered patio between the main house and the kitchen. It was a beautiful space full of comfortable seating, beautiful flowers, very well-kept, and heating lamps when needed. We spent most of our time in this space, because the weather was rather cloudy and windy. The hot tub is a fantastic addition, and we spent time in the hot tub every single day. The kitchen is large, two refrigerators, they have plenty of equipment and a dishwasher that makes eating with the big group very easy. There are lots of leftover spices, and also coffee filters. It was an absolute pleasure to stay in this space for all of us, all our guests were very happy with the experience. Thumbs up all the way.

This School House was perfect for our group. It was strategically located for all the photo assignments we were there to shoot. It was well accommodated for our group of 20 and was well outfitted for everything we needed. I would highly recommend this to anyone. Great hosts that made the stay special. They even found a guitar string for us since we broke one and we needed it for our shoot.
