About this property

Experience the charm of Ecurie-osity, where beautifully renovated 150-year-young stone stables await you. Nestled at the end of the privately owned gardens of the historic Police barracks, built in 1874 and located in Milang on Lake Alexandrina, this unique accommodation offers a blend of history and modern luxury.

Indulge in your own self-contained private space featuring a king bed with an amazing mattress, adorned with luxury linen and designer furnishings that have delighted our previous guests. The tranquility of the surroundings complements the comfort of your stay.

Your accommodation boasts a well-appointed kitchenette for catering needs, ensuring convenience during your stay. The bathroom amenities exude sophistication, and the king bed is adorned with sumptuous linens, promising a restful night's sleep.

The stables, with their solid stone walls built a century and a half ago, naturally regulate temperature—keeping you cool in the warmer months with refreshing lake breezes and cocooning you in warmth during winter with a personal wood fire.

Ecurie-osity is conveniently situated within close proximity to the renowned Langhorne Creek wine region and all the treasures the surrounding Fleurieu Peninsula has to offer. Just an hour's drive from Adelaide, this hidden gem invites you to unwind and explore the rich history and scenic beauty of the region.

About the host

Hosted by Jodie and Manuel

We fell in love with the old police station and its "old" stone structures that reminded us of France. Being a South Aussie and French couple we enjoy meeting new people, great food and wine and occasionally being able to travel.
