Weekend at Pt Lonsdale

We really enjoyed Louise's property. It is in a great location - off the main road and secluded in a cul de sac but only a short walk to Pt Lonsdale strip and beach). The place was clean and bright, and the furnishings modern and comfortable. While attached, the property is very private and separate from the main residence.

The perfect studio apartment for the two of us. A great location being so close to the beach and the Point Lonsdale shops. But tucked away in a quiet court away from the holiday crowds. A comfortable bed and couch for relaxing. Will definitely consider staying again.

Beach getaway

The property was clean, tidy and in an excellent location, only a short walk to the beach and shops. A short drive to Queenscliff, Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads offers wonderful opportunities to explore the coast, local produce and excellent fare. Lousie, the property manager was friendly, touching base with us briefly to ensure we were enjoying our stay and we had everything we needed.

Studio 8

We have now stayed at Studio 8 several times and it's become one of our favourite spots. We love that it's self contained, has all the amenities of home, is in a tranquil setting not far from the water and is clean, airy and comfortable. Louise is a wonderful host too. Looking forward to our next stay. Thanks as always for having us, Louise.
