Built in 1929 as the “quintessential corner store” then later becoming a handbag shop and thriving photography studio, Studio One has now been creatively transformed into a unique luxury living experience.

Fitted out with high-quality amenities this Studio has all you need for a quick holiday or business trip to Geelong.
The space
Stepping through the shopfront door you walk into the open living and dining area, which is showered in filtered in soft light from the laminated front windows. You will be transported into a gorgeous, specialised open-plan living space with old-world original touches and all the modern comforts & conveniences you need.
Sink into the beautiful couch & position the many cushions to your liking. In front of you is a large 65” Smart TV ready for your entertainment with Free WiFi available. The entire wall in front of you is the original shop-fit slat wall, where they used to hang their handbags and now you may hang your own bags, coats and hats.
Continuing through the open space, the modern kitchen is fully equipped to whip up a tasty meal with an induction cooktop, full oven, microwave, cookware, utensils, crockery, cutlery & glassware. And of course, a dishwasher for the clean up! If you don’t feel like cooking you can always wander across the road to the local favourite: The Yardz Hotel with many delicious meals on offer!
In the evening, enjoy the gorgeous central Old World pendant light as it sends a beautiful cascading pattern across the ceiling & walls, creating a gentle, soothing atmosphere.
After a big day of work or exploring what the region has to offer, a spacious King suite awaits you when you’re ready to unwind. Luxuriate in the plush King Bed with crisp white sheets & many comfy pillows. The suite also offers a workstation which can also be used as a makeup station with the portable make-up mirror provided. The house is split level with two steps to gain entry into the suite.
Adjoining the King Suite is a gorgeous Bathroom/walk-in robe/Euro Laundry with washer, dryer & iron. The bathroom evokes luxury, dressed in floor-to-ceiling marbled tiles comprising of a sumptuous rain shower, vanity with light-up mirror, and toilet.
Studio One is heated and cooled by a powerful split system and the King Bed suite has a ceiling fan as well.

Please note that we are a part of a larger block of two more living spaces, we kindly ask that you respect others by avoiding loud noise such as loud music and loud TV. And of course we do have a “no party” condition.
Traffic Noise: Studio 1 was originally a shop front Corner Store. Built on a main road (Church St) for maximum exposure. While the new commercial windows and doors at the front do a great job of filtering out the noise, you will get some reduced traffic noise, especially during the day. At night time in the bedroom (window closed) you will have a lovely peaceful sleep.
