The Garden Studio is a nature lovers retreat

The location wasn’t the best. The ad made it appear closer to the beach than it was, and the premium price paid also gave that impression. Alex was great at communicating what he needed from us, but it felt almost big brotherish. There were over the top signs and instructions everywhere telling us when to close skylights and cover furniture, even requesting we take out our rubbish (noting that the price charged for the stay would adequately cover something so small - I mean one gets away to avoid the daily hum drum ), when all that was adequately dealt with in the check in and check out instructions, as well as the farewell text message. This all took away from the stay - that is, it was really hard to feel comfortable there- to be fair, the studio was fresh and clean and Alex was kind enough to leave some bread etc, none of which my husband and I touched much of. We travel a lot and we pay for service and location - which, as noted above wasn’t to the standard we expected. It was my husband’s 50th get away and there was absolutely no room to stay an extra hour past checkout. In any event, a generally nice stay but I won’t be back there. This feedback has been given with kind intent so that Alex can hopefully take it on board. Kind regards, Carol

The accomodation was even more lovely than the photos. It feels very fancy, yet homely! The space is bright and sun-filled, with a beautiful private garden. It’s a lovely place to stay in to cook, drink, read, hangout with and relax in the garden area. The location was speculated and private. We saw a bandicoot one night in the yard at night.

We had a great stay at the property for our 10 year wedding anniversary. Alex was a great host, and the property was really well appointed and very private. We loved the peaceful location, wandered down to the wharf at the end of the street for a drink and snack at sunset, and an easy and beautiful walk in to Bundeena for coffee.

Alex was so lovely, the grounds of the home were so beautiful and the house was gorgeous and so clean. I definitely recommend staying here if you’re in need to disconnect, enjoy nature and relax.
