About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Romantic 1bed/1bath self-cont. apart. for 2 Adelaide Hills, wineries & Hahndorf.
If you are looking for a unique stay you cant go past this one-of-a-kind old schoolhouse built in 1858. As seen on Series 7 of Restoration Australia! Your own church like self-contained sandstone schoolhouse wing with a fireplace and double glazed gothic windows awaits. With one bedroom, one bathroom with a claw foot bath to keep you in your own cocoon. There's just too much to do in this part if the world, so when you do decide to get out there is so much to explore -many wineries close by (with a drop off pick up service on offer by negotiation), cafes, pubs , gin & whisky distilleries all less than 5 minute walk away or more less than 5 minute drive away, Amy Gillet bike track and many historic towns to explore close by such as Hahndorf (4.5kms) and Uraidla (10kms). Guests are welcomed to the old schoolhouse by the owners/residents of the home who live in separate (thick stone walls throughout!) but attached old schoolmaster's wing. Guests enter through the verandah and front door and open the schoolhouse wing through a locked door on the right. The door on the left leads to the schoolmaster's residence. The home is on a large block - just under an acre, and guests have use of the barbeque area by prior agreement. The owners access the property by the rear doors, ensuring guests privacy. Please note there is NO TV at the schoolhouse! Its such a beautiful space we think a TV would ruin the romantic feel of the space. Please read the property rules.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a coffee maker, and an ironing board. Change of towels is available on request.

Easy to enjoy. Staying in a renovated 160 year old building was great. The modern comforts of heating and cooling ensured a great stay. Help was close at hand but not in the way. Could not fault this place.
The connection with history was still there in pictures and stories. Looking forward to June 2025 when this BnB features on television.

It's an old school built in 1858 converted into a little (actually not so little) Rock Star accommodation place.
A true example of an excellent renovation job where old and new beautifully unite.
Mon and Charlie are awesome hosts too (he's an absolute Pissa (funny great bloke) and Mons just gorgeous! Keep up the great work guys.
