Spring Creek Studio is a unique property. This hidden gem is set on a beautiful bush block that spills out onto Spring Creek Reserve. It is protected from the daily hustle and bustle, yet is in the heart of Old Torquay so remains an easy stroll to the foreshore, surf shops and cafes (approx 20 mins). This is one of Torquay’s best kept secrets, quietly boasting the best of both worlds.
Nestled on the edge of Spring Creek Nature Reserve, the property will stop you in your tracks as every outlook highlights the beauty and tranquility of nature at its best. It is a contemporary, open-plan space with modern amenities and quality features throughout.
The Studio is completely self contained and has separate access and entrance to the main property so your privacy is guaranteed at all times. The deck and gardens are also private and available exclusively for your own enjoyment during your stay.
Designed by the owner, the Studio is influenced by her passion for interior design and the natural world and features original artwork throughout. Double glass doors open onto a large deck which is surrounded by a series of indigenous gardens, home to a huge variety of Australian birds, frogs, lizards and skinks. You may even be lucky enough to spot our resident wallaby!
The reserve and creek are literally in the back yard. Kayaks are available for guests to use, so you can paddle along the creek which leads directly to the beach.
There are also a series of walking tracks and bike paths that take you to Torquay front beach or the Jan Juc Cliff Tops and further on to Bells Beach if you prefer. The tracks meander under the Moonah trees where you will find hidden fishing platforms where you can rest if you wish.
Enjoy a day out, then come back and chill out in the hammock under the gum trees for the afternoon, soak in the outdoor tub or snuggle up by the indoor fireplace with your favourite glass of wine. It is the perfect retreat in any weather.
Your time spent here will be a unique experience of tranquility and rejuvenation set in comfort and style - perfect for anyone wanting to unwind, relax and completely let go.

EXTERNAL LIGHTS
There is a two-way light switch for the external stairs. One switch is at the very top of the stairs and the other is at the bottom above the umbrella stand. If you are heading out for the evening, I recommend leaving the lights on so that the stairs are safely lit on your return. Please make sure to turn them off again once you retire.
