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 with an amazing garden and lovely neighbors! We stayed here with our extended family of 15, and it was perfect for our needs. The owners were very accommodating, and the space worked beautifully for our group. Highly recommended!

Greg and Magnea were amazing hosts. Their property is absolutely perfect for a big group like ours were. Plenty of rooms so you can spread the group out while also having big community areas to all hang out in. You could also spread out and have smaller group hangs outs as well. I could go on and on about how amazing this place was!

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.
