Featuring free WiFi, a barbecue and a sun terrace, South Central Guesthouse offers accommodation just 23 km from Selfoss. Free private parking is available on site. Urridafoss Waterfall is 11 km away.

There is a shared kitchen at the property.

The place was very clean, equipped with a large kitchen and different common rooms to hang out. The room was great and the beds comfortable. The whole guesthouse was probably renovated a while back because it's better live than on the pictures on booking.

This former schoolhouse turned guesthouse is 13 km south of Selfoss and the Ring Road. It offers a communal kitchen and free WiFi.

The Old School House - Gaulverjaskoli’s rooms are simply furnished and have shared bathroom facilities. All rooms offer views of the surrounding lowlands. Guests can cook their meals in the fully equipped shared kitchen.

We enjoyed a fantastic stay at the old school house! Greg and Magnea are very kind and welcoming. This booking is not just a place to sleep but an experience that I would recommend 10/10! The rooms are incredibly cozy and quiet with comfortable beds, the communal areas are super clean and the location is just very special. The surroundings are stunning, you can watch the stars at night from the hottub outside and if you’re there at the right time - catch aurora! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Louise is a great host, she’s been so kind and helpful and showed me the place and the room, which was really cozy and warm. Lots of friendly animals, the atmosphere is really nice. The position is great, part of the main road is unpaved but the farm is easy to reach and the view of the surrounding landscapes, including distant volcanoes, is beautiful
