Warrandyte Retreat. Modern, Calm, in the Treetops

STUDIO DETAILS
Bright, open, and cozy. Panoramic, frameless double-glazed windows give you unbroken views of the valley to the North to enjoy in pure privacy, while the warmth of the beautiful Siberian Larch flooring permeates through your feet. The back of the studio is cut directly into the rock, giving you the perfect temperature and sound isolation all-year-round.

Take in the views of the nearby valley as you relax with your morning Nespresso style coffee on the sun-soaked deck. Make a day out of the most sought-after corners of the Yarra River, and relax or float in the sun at our local swimming spot.
Don't miss the chance to experience Victoria's best wineries and tastings, less than 10 minutes drive. Or a little further out to the beautiful Yarra Valley.
7.4 KW Electric vehicle charging station is available @ .40c per kWh

***PRIVACY***

We have never had a guest mention a lack of privacy, but for your peace of mind:
Rest assured that any of your privacy concerns will wash away upon arrival. The studio is 'architecturally' part of our main house above (set back and further above on the hill), but it is entirely separate in the sense that it has its own private entrance in front of the main house (no need to pass any main-house windows), and it is cut into the rock UNDER the main house, meaning the only accessible part of the main house that comes close to the studio is the deck on top of the studio.

Guest access
All interior space in the studio is accessible. The studio is situated in the front underside of the main house. Guests will be able to access most of the outdoor garden areas of the property in the immediate surroundings of the studio, as well as the entire west (car park) and north gardens.

It is important that guests monitor host communications, particularly when getting close to check-in time, on the day and the day before. Most necessary check-in messages seem to go unanswered.

“If you break any of the house rules you will be immediately evicted and you will not receive any refunds”
