About this property

Nestled under a 300 year old gum tree is a mud brick studio. Adjacent to, but separate and private from the main house. Spacious but cosy with air conditioning and electric log fire. North facing to capture the winter sun and a patio to sit and enjoy the stunning bush views. Well in off the road to enjoy the bird life and the natural environment.

Sleeps 4 comfortably. Queen sized bed with electric blanket. Fold out sofa bed (double).

Full kitchen with china, cutlery and glassware for 4 people. Wine glasses provided. Glass Cooktop, (No oven) Microwave, snack maker, air fryer plus cookware and microwave containers. Out door bbq also.
Guests may explore our 24 acre property and browse the extensive garden of mostly Australian native plants.

PETS are welcome indoors but we do ask that they do not sleep on the beds. There is a safe off lead space for a dog to exercise.

A short 5 minute drive to our local village (Strathfieldsaye) for supplies, fuel or a meal. 10-15 minute drive to Bendigo for all it has to offer. Outstanding art gallery and restaurants. Magnificent heritage buildings.

We are within easy cycling distance to the O’Keefe rail trail (6kms) and I provide pamphlets on the cycle trails of Bendigo.

A great central location to visit Castlemaine, Maldon, Echuca or the wineries.

PLEASE NOTE - there is an additional fee of $30 per person over school age. The base fee is for two guests.

Idyllic Spot for a Break

We really enjoyed our stay at the studio under the gum tree. We found the space and set up ideal for our needs while travelling with our two pups. The large living space was comfortable and everything we needed was provided with a kitchen that made the prep of simple meals easy. The location was also ideal, being a short distance from Bendigo in a quiet bushland setting. The perimeter fence allowed for space for our pups to explore in safety and we enjoyed sitting on the deck to take in the view. Jan provided an extra night stay for us on our return journey home as we headed off to the Gippsland region before heading back through Bendigo to return to Adelaide. It was a pleasure to return to the studio for that night of rest. We hope to stay again at some stage and explore the local area.
