“Two striking, thoughtfully designed studios in the gardens of a 19th-century house. Studio One has airy, loft-style interiors & space for four guests; smaller Studio Two feels minimalist & atmospheric. Both have lovely kitchens & expansive views of historic Castlemaine & the landscape beyond. Ideal.”
