We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the studio. Maria and John have put a lot of thought into the layout and design of the studio. It was very clean and in a aesthetically pleasing location. My wife enjoyed the short walk to the shops and John escorted me on a great bike ride up the Gib. We could not fault our stay.

Very welcoming, thoughtful hosts. The studio is roomy and very well set up. Great space for clothes/luggage and a well equipped kitchen.Excellent central location. Enjoyed walks along the nearby Mittagong Creek.
A beautiful, very well-maintained flat that was perfect for a weekend break in Bowral! Maria was very responsive, the place was spotless and had everything we need, and was walking distance from central Bowral. We’d certainly stay again!
Studio Rouge was ideally located and provided us with all we needed for a very comfortable 3 night stay. Good facilities, very clean and well maintained property.
We found Studio Rouge the perfect place in Bowral for our 4-night stay. It was spacious and very comfortable and tucked away from the street. We loved its central location, a pleasant walk from town.
A lovely quiet location only a short walk to town. A spacious, clean and very comfortable one bedroom cottage with everything provided for a relaxed stay.
Bowral is a great place to spend a weekend and this was a great place. Comfortable and well equipped. A bonus was easy walking access to town

About the host
Hosted by Maria French
We have been the owners for at least 19 years and have lived in this same street for 27 years. This property was transformed by us 13 years ago when we undertook building a major extension and separate building which is Studio Rouge. We live on site.
Why they chose this property
This property tells an interesting story about part of the history of old Bowral. We chose to buy this property to save some of that history which was being destroyed at that time. Many of the tools used by the saddler, whose wife lived here in the early 1930's and together until they passed the property on, were left behind in many of the sheds. We salvaged many of them and donated some to the Berrima Museum where they are on exhibit. It is so conveniently located in the heart of Bowral, in a very quiet and private location.
What makes this property unique
This property offers a mix of the old and modern, featuring some sustainable elements like double glazing, extensive insulation with the living area facing north and is clad in mini orb. The Studio space is light and airy and spacious,with considerable room to move and relax. If you step out onto Merrigang Street and head in any direction you will encounter ducks on the stream, a memorial walk which in takes you in and around the centre of Old Bowral or head up the hill and experience a challenging walk up "The Gib" through the unique vegetation and can learn more about our history on the way to the lookout.
