Weekend getaway
The perfect studio apartment for the two of us. A great location being so close to the beach and the Point Lonsdale shops. But tucked away in a quiet court away from the holiday crowds. A comfortable bed and couch for relaxing. Will definitely consider staying again.

It was our second time at Studio@8 and we were not disappointed. It had everything we needed, extremely clean and well positioned to tour the Bellarine. Situated in a nice quiet cul-de sac it was very peaceful and Louise a very attentive host. We will return.

Beach getaway
The property was clean, tidy and in an excellent location, only a short walk to the beach and shops. A short drive to Queenscliff, Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads offers wonderful opportunities to explore the coast, local produce and excellent fare. Lousie, the property manager was friendly, touching base with us briefly to ensure we were enjoying our stay and we had everything we needed.
