Response from VrboOwner on 4 Nov 2023
Firstly let me say that this review is written by the worst guest I’ve ever hosted in 6 years. The list of disgusting and disrespect that accompanies this guest is long. Firstly let me say that the curtains are fine and close as any curtain does. Secondly the area that was chosen by you Ross not your wife is clearly not Airlie beach and had you wanted to stay in Airlie maybe you should have picked accomodation there. I wish you had. The studio is located central to Proserpine for shopping, the waterfalls, dam and the beautiful Hideaway Bay. As for the part about the garage? The external cladding of a dwelling does not define the interior. Lastly the privacy. You came and drank your wine and chatted with me when it suited you until your rude wife who obviously wrote this arrived. Never drawing the curtains and also asking for my help with sorting your tyre problem. That I helped you save $200 fixing. The studio was left in a filthy state and now this review. Any one looking at this can see that these people are the first in six years that have felt that they need to write lies and be those who are just not nice people.

Great place, clean, impressed with the inter

It was hard to find a place for our small furry friend, Bruce made us feel very welcome and there was no judgement in having a pet as most places will not accept your pet. Excellent host, very welcoming, you were made to feel at home. Would highly recommend staying here. 10 out of 10.

Lovely location for the quaint, rustic studio!

We really enjoyed our 2 nights here. Not far from Proserpine, not far from the Dam and lovely drives on the doorstep. Bruce the host is very friendly and helpful. The studio is basically, but perfectly adequately appointed

Great little studio away from the crowds!

Butterfly Studio is a unique place, a few kms from Airlie Beach and ideal if you prefer peace and quiet to the noise and bustle. The studio has been built by Bruce and is completely unique! While it is small, it has everything you need and Bruce and Mardi are great hosts. However it's still only 10 minutes or so to get to Airlie Beach for trips and Bruce can recommend things to see and do in the region as well and runs his own local tour company. Great place and we'd definitely stay again.

Cosy studio overlooking the garden

The property is quiet and serene. Very green surrounds. We had a very enjoyable stay. The hosts are very hospitable and happy to share information about the surrounding attractions. Great for a couple / 2 people.
