You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Treescape, Seascape, Green Escape

Our stylish studio is set on a treed acre, down a quiet lane, close to Ocean Grove village and beaches and with a nature reserve nearby. You'll love the quiet bushland setting, giving the impression of being in the country and allowing you to relax and unwind in peace. From this backdrop, you are only 4 minutes drive to the beach, supermarkets and town centre and close to all the activities the Bellarine is renowned for. In no time at all, you could be splashing in the waves, stand up paddle boarding, paragliding, skydiving, cycling the beach or rail trail, meeting wallabies in the Nature Reserve, strolling around beautiful Blue Waters Lake, sipping wine or setting off on a Great Ocean Road adventure...

Plenty of room for boats, bikes, boards, kids and caravans. Free bike loan, breakfast, Wifi and Netflix. ️‍

We are aiming to make the studio as sustainable as possible. It is powered by solar panels and a battery; the hot water service and air conditioner are both energy efficient heat pumps; and we minimise the waste going to landfill by recycling and composting.

The accommodation is popular, with 200+ stays since we started hosting 3 years ago, with our guests recognising that we value their experience. They enjoy the "vibe" of the space and describe it as "restful", "restorative", "airy", "leafy", and "tucked away, yet central to beach and shops".

The studio is fully self-contained, open plan, freshly painted throughout and is light and spacious. It consists of:
- one bedroom with a queen bed (with electric blanket) and also a comfortable fold out double sofa bed (located in the living area).
- a fully equipped kitchen (full sized fridge/freezer, free standing cooktop/oven, microwave, toaster, kettle, saucepans, crockery, plates and a variety of tea, coffee and breakfast provisions).
- lounge/dining area (featuring a lovely, cosy freestanding gas fireplace and comfortable sofa, perfect for reclining on while you watch Netflix, leaf through a magazine or have an afternoon nap)
-private, roomy bathroom/laundry (supplied with body wash, shampoo and conditioner. There is a heater, hairdryer, ironing board and iron, washing machine and trough, and clothes/wetsuits can be dried on a clothes airer or shared washing line).
-private, fenced native courtyard garden

Guests can park undercover in a secure, remote-controlled garage and walk straight into the accommodation, so no lugging heavy bags over a distance. There is also a giant carport to shelter larger vehicles, including caravans, motorhomes and boats.

Guests have stayed with us for the following reasons so far:
- skydiving at Barwon Heads and Torquay
- as an excellent starting or finishing point for the Great Ocean Road
- golfing weekends at Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads and Clifton Springs Golf Clubs
- cycling the Bellarine Rail Trial and along the beach to Point Lonsdale
- attending weddings
- celebrating weddings, birthdays & anniversaries
-visiting local family & friends, but having their own space
-just hanging out at the beach or getting away from it all
-staging point for international travellers (Finnish, Belgian, Dutch, German. Italian, Canadian, Irish, Spanish, American, French, English and Singaporean so far)
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned apartment, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a full-sized refrigerator/freezer, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a water park or take in the view from a garden. Additional features at this apartment include barbecue grills and bike parking.

Short Ocean Grove break
Property very good, manager/owner extremely helpful and friendly, weather about as good as could be expected in the middle of winter! Only problem was in contacting manager to tell her our time of arrival. Neither Stayz or Vbro sites had direct contact details; obtaining a phone/SMS contact no. was a protracted and confusing process. At one stage I was required to supply a valid US mobile no in order to set up a VBRO app by which I could contact manager! Ridiculous! Communication with manager in person was excellent.

A wonderful and peaceful stay!!
What a wonderful weekend we had! The studio is just perfect and super cosy at night with the fireplace. It feels like a home away from home as Lorien’s attention to detail is second to none - from the cleanliness, the many amazing books, the quality furnishings and towels, to the ample pantry of food she provides. It is a true bed AND breakfast. We loved our stay in this peaceful locale away from the ‘suburbia’ of Ocean Grove. Waking to birdsong was just what we needed. As well as walks in the nearby Nature Reserve and along the beautiful beach. We WILL be back! 😊

Home away from home
Found this gem at the last minute and Lorien was kind enough to accommodate us. A lovely quiet location with everything you need. Perfect place away from the bustle of town but close enough to everything you need. The kitchen was well stocked. The pancake mix with fresh berries and maple syrup was perfect for a lazy morning without having to leave the house.

We loved the studio apartment. It was full of charming and thoughtful details and I loved the books and artworks! Breakfast supplies were very generous, as were the toiletries. Bed super comfortable. The setting in the garden is very pretty also. Lorien was very helpful and friendly and gave us a huge basket of lemons from the garden!

It doesn't get any better!!!
From the moment we pulled into the driveway and Lorien greeted us by our names, right through to the beautiful little touches of fresh herbs, flowers and farm fresh eggs, this stay was amazing. The place was exceptionally clean, provided such warmth and entertainment and listening to the birds in the morning made us feel like we were in the middle of the native bush. If I could give these guys 10 stars, I would. Just a brilliant stay, with incredible decor and great quality touches - like Sheridan towels and Sukin products. Thanks so much guys! It was so rejuvenating. 😀😀

Great communication with property owner and some beautiful touches to make the stay a little more special: breakfast provisions, quality linen and towels, shower gel and shampoo - great shower! - and chook food for the hens for when they came to visit us! A lovely ‘sustainability/eco-friendly vibe’ going which made our stay so relaxing and chilled.

Warm welcome, wonderful stay
It’s the many little welcoming touches that make this studio so special. From the lovely floral arrangements and excellent Sheridan towels laid out in the bathroom through to the fabulous treats in the kitchen. Jars filled with Lindt chocolates, wonderful Granola, oats, ground coffee, instant coffee, tea bags and more line the shelves. The fridge is stocked with fresh berries, poached pears, yoghurt, freshly laid eggs, juice, Prosecco- and more!!! The bed is comfortable, the washing machine excellent and hosts, Lorien and Dean are so accommodating and helpful. I can’t recommend this place highly enough!!

This was the perfect spot for a a relaxing and romantic breakaway as a couple. Thank you so much Lorien and Dean. The place is beautiful and well appointed.
