Coolart Studios

Loved staying here on multiple occasions with my partner as a nice getaway for a few days each time. Beautiful location, well maintained and gorgeous rooms, highly recommend.

We took our two young kids here for a weekend stay and it was the perfect Peninsula retreat. Set amongst the trees outside each window, we all felt like we were a world away, even though it was just 80 minutes from home.The hosts were extremely attentive and hospitable with some great local knowledge on nearby family friendly eateries and attractions. Their tips did not disappoint. From the studio it was just 8 minutes to Jackalope. 20 minutes to Montalto. And 6 minutes to The Funky Farm. A highlight for all of us was holding a baby crocodile, a snake, feeding the wallaby, emu and wombats. We'll definitely be back.

Excellent place to unplug with many good wineries, restaurants and other sights minutes away from the property.

Love, love, love Coolart Studios! Fabulous accommodation, well appointed with luxurious linen, throws, towels and accessories. Such a lovely place and lovely people. Marianne is such a great host.

My husband and I stayed in Studio 2 for 1 night. We booked it for our anniversary but it ultimatley became a nourishing space to nurture ourselves through the shock of a recent death in the family. It was just what we needed, calm, restful, quiet and beautiful. We did the hotsprings in the morning, bought wine from Merricks General Wine Store and nibbles from the Red Hill Bakery Deli in the arvo, and then went back to the room to relax in the huge day bed, before heading out to Le Bouchon in Balnarring for Dinner.As an interiors junkie I wasnt dissapointed, the room felt luxurious but not stuffy, an upscaled coastal relaxed vibe supported by the soft cosy colours and textiles in the space, and subtle earthy styling accents (on a personal nit picky note I felt the stong blue in the Pier art work jarred with the restful vibe in the room, and the sensitive opening drawers and cupboards in the kitchen and bedroom were, well annoying! but in the whole scheme of things not a big deal)The images online dont do its size justice, its an abundant space for a studio, which added to the feeling of luxury, we thought we could easily live in it! It had absolutley everything we needed, plus little extras. The Bed was to die for, comfortable and super soft, best sheets ever! didnt wanna get out. And really enjoyed the bath with a view of the tree tops.Its a great location practically for Wineries, Foodies, close to Balnarring, Merricks, Flinders, Somers, Main Ridge etc but a bit of a drive to Hot Springs, St Andrews Beach, Rye or further down the Peninsula. Definitely feels like its away from all the action, which wouldnt be for everyone, but for us was just perfect. Will return again when looking to chill out, and be nourished in Luxury.

A great property, very well fitted, designed beautifully. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you Marianne.

Well this place was very clean and looks very luxury at first.Very nice room which decorated very nice.Had Netflix,aircon,wifi.They even left us milk,bread,butter and honey which was very kind.Only problem was we booked this place as 2 bedroom studio which wasn’t !It was a 1 bedroom studios which had the second queen bed in leaving room.It might work if you are going with couple kids but if you are going as two couple, it won’t.Biggest problem is there is only 1 bathroom which is in main bedroom.So if you need bathroom you have to go via main bedroom.Also it was very expensive compare to practicality of the place.We have paid 896 for 2 night.Overall if you book in advance you should be able to book a very nice accomodation with this money.Any way thanks to there hospitality and clean rooms.We enjoyed our weekend.

No need more for a great escape from your daily life. Beautifully surrounded by the forest and a spacious sized living room and a bedroom. Very cozy place to stay and the host was absolutely welcoming us.Highly recommended.

Stayed at studio one for two nights. Beautiful, clean and cozy. The studios are secluded, surrounded by lots of trees and natures. The ensuite is big and feel luxurious but can be very cold in winter as the heated lamp doesn’t help much.Great location, close to Balnarring town centre and the beach. The owner also gave really good recommendations for food and places which come in handy. This is one of very very few places that accept cat to stay and all we have to do was to bring our own cat bed, litter tray and bowls.
