Peace and quiet

Guests say this home is in a quiet area.
"The Studio" is a spacious, peaceful and self-contained retreat with a large open plan dining/living space as well as two good-sized bedrooms with up to 5 beds available (3 Queen and 2 King singles), a bathroom with bath and shower, a separate powder room/toilet and a laundry cupboard. With a fully equipped kitchen, espresso machine, huge dining table, wi-fi, a 75 inch TV, two 3-seater sofas, books and DVD's.. Guests can enjoy a game of table tennis, a BBQ, or a bounce on the trampoline.

The space
Set at the rear of our large block and nestled amongst the fruit trees, "The Studio" is an eco-friendly building designed and built by Andrew a few years ago. The building is fully self-contained and private being located around 90 metres from our main house. Eco features are double-glazing, solar power, north-facing windows and maximum insulation.
One bedroom has a queen size bed, a chest of drawers, a small TV and a built in wardrobe. The other bedroom has two king single beds, one queen size bed, a chest of drawers and a hanging rail. A Babyhood Dormire portacot can be set up in either bedroom if required but you will need your own linen/blankets for this. Each bedroom has reverse cycle air conditioning as does the main studio room.
If required, one end of the studio room can be set up with a queen sized bed behind a privacy screen. The floor plan in the photos shows the layout of The Studio and the dimensions with the main Studio room itself being around 60 square metres and the entire building is around 135 square metres.

Guest access
The entire Studio and the surrounding garden is accessible to guests. The space is very private with the Studio being set about 90 metres away from the main residence. Also, only one booking/group at a time can stay at "The Studio". Plenty of off-street parking is available for several vehicles.

Other things to note
"The Studio" is a self-catering stay with some basic breakfast provisions supplied to get you started: cereals, milk, spreads, tea and coffee.
We aim to keep the Studio very clean and tidy. All towels and linen (including always washed doona covers) are long cycle hot washed at 60 degrees for extra thorough cleaning.

Up to two dogs are permitted to stay but must not be left unattended on the property. We have two dogs that are friendly to people and other dogs so please ensure your dogs are also well socialised in case they are in the backyard at the same time. The property is fenced and gated but in some places the fence is low so it would not suit a dog that likes to jump and escape.
