Gem of the Yarra Valley
My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at the gorgeous Bundjil Studio for 2 nights and our only regret is that we should have stayed for longer! Lianne was a great host and waited for us till we arrived after 9pm as our flight was delayed. The studio was well equipped, clean and is extremely quaint. Situated close to the best of the Yarra Valley and is truly home away from home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back. For the very least to pat and say hello to their uber friendly Labradoodle, Pip.

Want a great get away? Can't go past this place!
We stayed over Easter, and to spend 3 nights here was such a delight. The busy life style we lead in city life, you can actually have a relaxing time away without having to drive for hours to find a little piece of paradise.
The cottage was immaculately presented, and the surroundings were so peaceful and beautiful.
Our hosts; Lianne and Paul have done a great job with the place, and when we asked for anything, nothing was a problem!
Thank you!
If ever asked, I will not hesitate to recommend Bundjil to anyone looking for a bit of time away.
Would not think twice if ever back in the area!
Hard to beat.

Superb, doesn't disappoint!
From the moment you drive down the driveway you feel relaxed. Set in the bush and only a 3km drive, walk or bike ride from the main st of Healesville, Bundjil Studio is a little gem. A gorgeous cabin, so homely, comfortable and clean and clearly owners Lianne and Paul take great pride in making your stay so enjoyable. Completely self-contained, great linen, even few treats like cereals, jams, yummy chocolates, tea and coffee. We loved exploring Healesville and coming home here throughout the day and at night. So quiet and peaceful at night and all the time! We feel so rested, couldn't recommend Bundjil Studio more highly for a weekend away. Or more if you have time!!

We had a lovely welcome on arrival by Lianne and Shea. The accomodation was wonderful, comfortable and perfect for our weekend stay. Our dog and Shea got along really well, they spent lots of time outside together. This made our stay more enjoyable having such a great dog friendly environment.

Hi Jessica,
Thanks for such a lovely review, it was so nice meeting you both and Butters, hope he’s being a good boy back home.
He was a cutie pie.
Hope to see you back someday.
Loved my stay at this property close to everything I needed. The hosts Lianne and Peter are fabulous anything I needed was in the studio very clean and cosy. Will definitely be back again.
Bundjil studio was exactly what we needed in a short stay away. The studio contained nice amenities including fast wifi, chromecast for the tv and the kitchen had everything that we could need. Only a short drive to all Yarra valley attractions.
We will be back again

This is a beautiful property just out of Healesville in a lovely bush setting. The room was immaculately presented, and had everything you could possibly want. Lovely outdoor area for relaxing amongst nature, and great BBQ for cooking up a feast. Lianne and Paul were great - really responsive to any requests and made sure our stay was perfect. 4 nights wasn’t enough!

About the host
Hosted by Lianne Slinger
Paul and I love to share our bush setting and guest studio with nice people, so you can enjoy and relax. Happy to recommend places to visit or tours to take. We love music and enjoy the outdoors. Love to travel when we can. Our dog Meia is almost 2 years old and is an Aussie Shepherd and is our welcoming committee, she loves people and just wants to say hello, will take as many cuddles and pats as you want to give, she’s still being trained and very vocal and energetic, she’s in her own run/resort. We leave you to your privacy, but here if you need us.
Why they chose this property
We offer something quite unique being a rammed earth studio, with all the comforts you need, feels like your in the middle of the bush but only a few minutes drive from town with everything you need.
What makes this property unique
Not your ordinary style of build, something a little different, with the story of how it was built by Paul & his father.
