About this property

Entire place

The Studio - Seclusion by the water with your own private beach.

In an epic location at the end of a very private road is a fully self- contained art studio designed by renowned Tasmanian architects Circa Morris Nunn . Beautiful and wild, historic and sensitive to its surrounds The Studio is surrounded by Pittwater Estuary and the Coal River and when you enter the building you will be immersed in a world of art.
This very private escape is accessed by a historical cutting which at the turn of the 20th century was a railway line. It is a remote hideaway for one or two, an escape where you can be sure of not seeing another person unless they are on a boat on the estuary. Here you can completely relax and unwind on your own private beach. It is an ideal place for a romantic getaway, reflection, a creative pursuit or to tackle that project you have had in mind. Here life slows and the act of relaxing becomes its own reward.
During your stay at this apartment building, you'll be close to Tasmania Golf Club. Features include laundry facilities. The apartment offers free WiFi and a kitchen.

So sad to leave

As soon as I saw The Studio on the website my heart was taken and I felt drawn to it. Our stay lived up to expectations and more. The location is magical, the private road winding through an entry cut through the rock, with wildlife grazing on the sides and then opening to a private perfect little house with a private beach area and fabulous 270 degree views. The house might look small but the amenities are more than adequate. The kitchen contains nearly all you could need and flows into a comfortable living area with a bookcase full of books and some games to pass the time, as well as a large TV. A table and chairs for two sits in the large picture window near the wood heater. The wood heater fire was especially wonderful and made our stay cost and warm. Nigel was very accommodating and taught us how to make a fire, and he cut and collected wood to set us up. The spacious bedroom area overlooking the living area has a very comfortable bed and space to move, and a reverse cycle heater. But if you get the fire just right it should keep the upstairs just right all night. There’s a door out to a huge deck which would be wonderful in warmer months. I honestly could live there and was so sad to leave. I hope I get to go back one day. Thankyou so much, Nigel and Denise.

Magic

A wonderful little house in a perfect spot. So close to the water for fishing, peaceful and serene. House was very comfortable. Check in was easy and we had everything we needed (a couple more towels would have been ideal though). Beware if you're scared of spiders that we had quite a few huntsman visitors. We don't mind them so no bother to us and they were perfectly quiet and courteous housemates. The wood fire was divine and the heat pump kept upstairs toasty for sleeping. The bed was a bit too firm for us but they do say a firm mattress is better for bad backs. Penna is a lovely spot and we didn't leave the property for the first 2 days. Caught a heap of sized flat head which we were happy about as only seem to catch undersize in the north of the state. The ones we had to throw back were only just under 35cm. A few little school sharks which we haven't seen before too.

Incredible Location

Unique accommodation with wonderful facilities. We were blown away with the private location and waterfront views. At the same time being 15 mins from Richmond and 25 min drive to Hobart central. We hope to visit many more times!

A little slice of Nirvana

What a lovely cottage in a spectacular location! The Studio is everything we expected from the posting. Secluded, natural, eco and peaceful. We loved being here and waking and sleeping to the sounds of nature and surf. This is a very special place. The cottage was incredibly well stocked with everything you would need, including a well furnished chef’s kitchen. We would happily stay here again.
