Treescape, Seascape, Green Escape

Our stylish studio is set on a treed acre, down a quiet lane, close to Ocean Grove village and beaches and with a nature reserve nearby. You'll love the quiet bushland setting, giving the impression of being in the country and allowing you to relax and unwind in peace. From this backdrop, you are only 4 minutes drive to the beach, supermarkets and town centre and close to all the activities the Bellarine is renowned for. In no time at all, you could be splashing in the waves, stand up paddle boarding, paragliding, skydiving, cycling the beach or rail trail, meeting wallabies in the Nature Reserve, strolling around beautiful Blue Waters Lake, sipping wine or setting off on a Great Ocean Road adventure... Plenty of room for boats, bikes, boards, kids and caravans. Free bike loan, breakfast, Wifi and Netflix. ️‍ We are aiming to make the studio as sustainable as possible. It is powered by solar panels and a battery; the hot water service and air conditioner are both energy efficient heat pumps; and we minimise the waste going to landfill by recycling and composting. The accommodation is popular, with 200+ stays since we started hosting 3 years ago, with our guests recognising that we value their experience. They enjoy the "vibe" of the space and describe it as "restful", "restorative", "airy", "leafy", and "tucked away, yet central to beach and shops". The studio is fully self-contained, open plan, freshly painted throughout and is light and spacious. It consists of: - one bedroom with a queen bed (with electric blanket) and also a comfortable fold out double sofa bed (located in the living area). - a fully equipped kitchen (full sized fridge/freezer, free standing cooktop/oven, microwave, toaster, kettle, saucepans, crockery, plates and a variety of tea, coffee and breakfast provisions). - lounge/dining area (featuring a lovely, cosy freestanding gas fireplace and comfortable sofa, perfect for reclining on while you watch Netflix, leaf through a magazine or have an afternoon nap) -private, roomy bathroom/laundry (supplied with body wash, shampoo and conditioner. There is a heater, hairdryer, ironing board and iron, washing machine and trough, and clothes/wetsuits can be dried on a clothes airer or shared washing line). -private, fenced native courtyard garden Guests can park undercover in a secure, remote-controlled garage and walk straight into the accommodation, so no lugging heavy bags over a distance.
