Enjoy the unlimited WiFi to stream your favourite shows to watch on your own device. Listen to music on the Bose speaker or the Bluetooth turntable with a small collection of nostalgic vinyl. For those traveler's who don't plan on spending vacation time cooking, choose from the many boutique restaurants, cafes and eateries in and about the local towns, otherwise the kitchenette has a multi-functional microwave oven for heating up your meal or delicacies you have just purchased.
Accessed by a lock code, the studio has WiFi, a stylish bathroom, super comfortable and cosy double bed with quality linen, a kitchenette equipped with an under bench fridge, toaster, kettle, conserves with teas and plunger coffee.

Sit back with a glass on the deck, watch the sun go down, then marvel at the magical night sky, listen to music and reflect on your day exploring the region.
