The peaceful township of Bellbrae is located far enough from busy summer crowds, yet close enough to enjoy that pace if you wish. The vibrant towns of Torquay and Anglesea are 10 minutes away (in opposite directions).
Our property is only minutes from the stunning Bells Beach and Point Addis beaches, and a great base from which to explore the iconic Great Ocean Road. Some of Australia’s best surfing, hiking and beaches are only minutes’ drive away.
If you’re a music lover, you’re in close proximity to venues such as Mt Duneed Winery (Day On The Green), Torquay Hotel and Torquay Common for iconic Australian and international music events throughout the year.
PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS
The studio is fully self-contained and private. It features a spacious queen bed for a restful night’s sleep, along with a well-equipped kitchen to create your favourite meals.
You'll also have a fold-down couch which can accommodate a third adult or two young children. A porta cot also available for infants at no charge.
Step outside under the verandah and soak in the fresh air, surrounded by the beautiful veggie gardens and friendly chickens, or have a beer after a day in the sun around the firepit. It’s a tranquil spot to unwind with your morning coffee or enjoy the sun setting over the coastal hinterland outlook.
COMFORT FEATURES
Our open-plan studio contains high-end furnishings, fittings and bedding giving you a luxe yet relaxed experience.
We’ve done our best to plan year-round comfort for you. The fireplace ensures you’ll be comfortable and warm all winter, whilst the space remains cool in the summer. There is a split system for air conditioning and additional heating. There are plenty of throw blankets if you wish to get cosy whilst sitting outside or on the couch.
You’ll immediate relax upon entering this space. The studio contains a full kitchen, including a fridge, oven and induction stovetop, fridge, Nespresso coffee machine and milk frother. Should you need/want other cooking items (i.e. a toasted sandwich maker, Soda Stream etc), we’re happy to provide these. The kitchen is stocked with coffee (Nespresso pods, grounds and instant), tea bags (black and herbal), hot chocolate, sugar, honey, UHT milk, olive oil, salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar and apple cider vinegar.
We’ve built a dedicated work desk, but we’re certain you’ll love working from either the kitchen table or verandah with their sweeping views. The internet connection is great too for those who need to be online whilst visiting.
The verandah is the perfect spot for your morning coffee, any meal or just to chill in the evenings with a drink. Listening to all the incredible local birds who visit, including our resident kookaburras, cockatoos and magpies, is truly special. You can open up the screen doors to listen to it from your bed too. They'll often be in the gum trees right in front of the studio.
We’ve got a BBQ for guests to use also. At night, before the sun goes down, you can light a fire in the nearby firepit and take in all the views across Spring Creek Valley (subject to weather conditions and fire restrictions). We’ll provide ample firewood for the firepit and fireplace.
Other small features we’ve considered include the warmest, fluffiest towels, a picnic blanket and basket for your use, as well as anything you might need for your little ones (porta cot, change mat, highchair, cutlery, serving ware, games and toys).
OUR SURROUNDING
Our small township of Bellbrae is a sleepy part of the Surf Coast with a few dozen homes in our area, large farms and lots of native bush. Every day we’re blessed to have an abundant variety of birds pass over our property.
As you enter through the wooden gates of our hobby farm, you’ll notice our fruit tree orchard, and at the back of our property nearer the studio, we have an extensive vegetable garden which you’re welcome to walk through and spend time in. We also have chickens which are contained away from the studio but close enough to view.
Strictly no pets.
Strictly no smoking or vaping inside the studio (permissible outside).
Strictly no parties or additional guests.
