My wife and I had a great stay here for the long Easter weekend. Our host was really helpful, giving us great recommendations for places to eat and see. The accommodation itself was also really nice and comfortable. Would definitely recommend staying here

Krystine and Ray’s hospitality truly made our weekend stay feel like a home away from home. The studio is spacious, clean and very comfortable. We really appreciated the small touches that made this place feel like a home (e.g. decor pieces, games, travel brochures and food menus). Would recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful and humble place to stay.

Lovely deck overlooking the forest with sulphuric crested cockatoos and crimson rosellas visiting the feeder every evening. Location was at end of dead end street, so very quiet. Rental unit is as shown in the listing, bed was comfortable rooms were spacious enough for all our needs

The accommodation was clean and well set-up. Very cute. Lovely outlook from the verandah. Short drive to the beach. Owner was very helpful and responsive
The dog barks at the door when you shower or go in the toilet as your staying below the owner’s home
The place was very clean

Appalling review of the Studio it was unfortunate for you that we had to make a claim for damages caused during your stay .. your review seems to reflect a retaliation on your part ..as prior guests and recent guests have given the Studio 5 Stars
Your narrative was completely different when you checked out that day ?
This is a very homely property with at the edge of the bush. It's a very quiet elevated setting, with just the sound of bird calls and visits from native birds. It would be a good escape from the Summer heat. Very friendly and relaxed hosts.
Spacious, nicely done out and well provisioned with well equopped kitchen. Stairs at entry can be a bit of a challenge for anyone with limited mobility.
LWe were there from the UK for 7 weeks in March & April, unfortunately during the La Niña rains, but that did not detract from the excellent time we had there. Everything we needed was there, it was close enough to the beach and all other amenities when required. We will definitely be back.

Many thanks for your lovely review
An absolute pleasure
Always very welcome
Spent a lovely week exploring the fire trails directly outside the property. Beach is only down the road. Bird feeding out of our hands every day. Krys, Ray and Teddy are awesome.
We loved our stay at Studio 53. It felt like home straight away! So wonderful little details that have been applied to the studio. Highly recommended.

Comfortable and well equipped
We enjoyed our stay at Studio 53. We were a bit worried when the temperature forecast was in the 30s but the apartment remained cool with the help of the big fan. It was nice and quiet.

Wonderful, tranquil getaway
My husband and I have stayed here twice now and will definitely be back again. This is a quiet little spot, very easy to access and only a 5 minute drive to the beach with views of the bushland and ocean.
The studio is decked out with everything you could need to make your stay comfortable, all the necessities have been thought of - it truly is a little home away from home.
The little touches throughout make it a warm, welcoming environment (unlike a stark, sterile hotel room)
I'd highly recommend Studio 53 looking for a romantic, restful getaway or somewhere to stay within the Bulli region. You won't be disappointed!
