The studio apartment is fully self-contained and sits just east of the main house. The studio comprises a kitchen/living space opening onto a north-facing front deck, a bedroom (3.8 x 3.8m) with garden windows to the east, an additional south-facing deck and a modern bathroom with luxurious free-standing bath and separate shower. Internal timber louvres provide separation between rooms whilst maintaining air-flow and connectivity throughout. Studio has tiled floors and reverse-cycle air-conditioning. Suitable as guest house, or for short or long-term rentals and previously let successfully on AirBnB. [search: Studio in the Valley, Pillar Valley, AirBnB, to see reviews.]
