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!

Family Reunion

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.

Incredibly friendly

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!

Fantastic time in the spacious schoolhouse

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.

Old School House adventures

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.

This is an amazing property

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.

Amazing property close to Selfoss

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.

Iceland wedding with extended family

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.

What a fabulous stay at the Old Schoolhouse. Clean, cosy, comforting. A great base for our Southern Icelandic adventures. Our multi-family/friends party ranged in ages from 7 to 75 and everyone had their favourite spot in the house. The kids loved the atrium, the adults gathered around the table in the kitchen after long days adventuring. The hot tub, even in the rain (we had a LOT of rain). Would highly recommend to larger groups looking for a base in south Iceland. Thank you so much to Magnea and Greg for an amazing stay.
