Just Wonderful

What a beautiful part of the world Point Lonsdale is and what fantastic accommodation. We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at Studio@8. Spotlessly clean, bright and just perfect for our stay. The bed was comfortable, the rooms well furnished and so close to the shops and beach. Louise was very accommodating and a delight to deal with. We will definitely be back.

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.

It was our second time at Studio@8 and we were not disappointed. It had everything we needed, extremely clean and well positioned to tour the Bellarine. Situated in a nice quiet cul-de sac it was very peaceful and Louise a very attentive host. We will return.
