About this property

The Studio | A Slower Stay in Normanville | 5 Mins to the Beach

There are some places that don't ask much of you.

Coffee in the courtyard. A good book you've been meaning to finish. Bare feet on the grass while the sun disappears over the hills. An afternoon that becomes an evening without anyone checking the time.

The Studio was created for slower stays.

Tucked away in a quiet corner of Normanville, this private coastal retreat offers couples (and the occasional little traveller) a peaceful place to pause, reconnect and enjoy the uncomplicated pleasures of the Fleurieu Coast. Just minutes from Normanville Beach and the township, it's close to everything, while feeling wonderfully removed from it all.

This isn't a place to rush through. It's a place to settle into.

The Space

Thoughtfully designed and beautifully simple, The Studio is completely self-contained with its own private entrance, courtyard and lawn area. Open country views stretch beyond the property, with glimpses of the ocean waiting from the lawn – best enjoyed slowly, coffee in hand.

Inside you'll find a light-filled space designed for comfort in every season, with reverse-cycle air conditioning in the living area and ceiling fans throughout. Outside, the private courtyard and BBQ invite long breakfasts, easy dinners and conversations that don't need an ending.
It's everything you need, and nothing you don't.

Sleeping Arrangements

The Studio is perfectly suited to two adults or a small family of up to three guests.

- Separate bedroom with a Queen bed
- Queen sofa bed in the lounge area

Whether you're planning a romantic weekend away or introducing little ones to the simple joy of a beach holiday, there's space here to slow down together.

The Kitchenette

Designed for relaxed holiday living, the kitchenette includes:

- Cooktop
- Small oven and air fryer
- Refrigerator
- Tea and coffee facilities
- Private BBQ in the courtyard

From slow breakfasts to simple evening meals, holiday cooking has never needed to be complicated.

What You'll Love

- Complete privacy with your own entrance and courtyard
- Open country views with glimpses of the ocean from the lawn
- Five minutes to Normanville Beach and the township
- Reverse-cycle air conditioning and ceiling fans throughout
- Separate bedroom plus sofa bed accommodation
- Linen and bath towels provided
- Quiet residential setting designed for slower stays
- Perfectly positioned to explore the Fleurieu Coast

Good to Know

The Studio is located within a peaceful residential neighbourhood and has been thoughtfully designed for quiet coastal getaways. Guests enjoy complete privacy throughout their stay, with independent access and no shared guest spaces.

To preserve the relaxed atmosphere of both the property and the surrounding neighbourhood, The Studio is not suitable for parties, events or excessive noise. Quiet hours apply after 10.00pm.

Please note that the property is not suitable for small children due to an unfenced retaining wall. An external security camera monitors the entrance gate for guest safety.

Some holidays are about seeing more. Others are about needing less.

What a great little place for a getaway! My wife and I were after a little overnight getaway on the Fleurieu and came across this place. Quiet, clean, comfy and everything we could ask for a quick getaway! And the complimentary bottle of bubbles made our arrival all the more special! Thanks Andrew!!

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely place. Our host greeted us personally with tips and suggestions for our stay, which we welcomed. I only have one suggestions and this would be a slightly bigger fridge. I'm sure that's planned already. Thanks again for hosting us...
