Studio on Forktree – Modern Coastal Retreat

Blocks Road
Perched above Carrickalinga’s rolling hills, the Studio on Forktree blends contemporary architecture with natural beauty. This newly built, open-plan studio offers a seamless connection between space and scenery — with soft stone textures, timber accents and expansive glazing that frames the rural and coastal views. Designed for calm and comfort, the studio includes a queen bed, a stylish kitchenette, and a bathroom with a freestanding bath — ideal for soaking in the stillness. A thoughtful balance of modern luxury and natural simplicity, it’s a serene base to explore South Australia’s Fleurieu coast.
Guests have private access to the Studio on Forktree.
Dedicated entrance to the studio (separate from the main home’s entry).
Easy access from the parking area.
Once inside, the studio is entirely your own space for the duration of your stay.
Check-in is via key safe with full details provided before arrival so you can arrive at a time that suits you.

Hosted and managed by Blocks Road, Studio on Forktree offers the comfort of a private studio with the reassurance of responsive support if anything comes up.

Studio on Forktree is located along Forktree Road in Carrickalinga, a sought-after pocket of the Fleurieu Peninsula known for its mix of rolling rural land and sweeping coastal views.

You’re a short drive from Carrickalinga Beach, with its long stretch of sand, clear water and relaxed, family-friendly feel.

The nearby township of Normanville offers cafes, bakeries, supermarket and dining options – perfect for picking up supplies or enjoying a meal out.

The wider Fleurieu Peninsula region puts you within easy reach of wineries, bushwalks, golf, coastal drives and day trips to other seaside towns.

It’s the kind of location where you can spend the morning at the beach, the afternoon exploring or doing very little at all, and then return to the studio to watch the light fade over the hills and coast.

A few helpful things to know before you arrive:

Attached studio: Studio on Forktree is attached to the main home. The studio is self-contained and oriented for privacy, but this is not a completely standalone dwelling.

Best suited for: Singles or couples looking for a quiet, comfortable base rather than a large entertaining space.

Views & setting: Rural and coastal views are part of the charm here; weather and visibility will vary with the seasons, but the sense of openness and calm remains.

Strictly no parties or events – this is a quiet retreat space.
No smoking inside the studio.
Only registered guests are permitted on the property unless otherwise agreed in advance.
Please respect neighbours and the main residence, keeping noise to a minimum, especially after 10pm.
Please report any breakages or issues during your stay so we can address them promptly.
Check-in and check-out times as per your standard policy (e.g. 3pm in, 10am out) unless previously arranged.

Arrival instructions provided to the guest directly by email. You will receive your lock code by SMS when the Studio is ready for arrival.

About the host

Hosted by Andrew Quixley

Host profile image
Studio on Forktree is part of a contemporary home designed to make the most of its position along Forktree Road – where rolling hills meet glimpses of the sea and the sky always feels big. Rather than adding a separate holiday house elsewhere, the owners chose to carve out a dedicated studio within their home’s footprint: a place where guests could experience the same views, light and calm they enjoy every day.

The studio’s architecture is deliberately simple – clean lines, natural stone and a soft, neutral palette – so that the focus stays on the landscape outside and the ease of being inside. Partnering with Blocks Road, the owners have opened Studio on Forktree to guests who appreciate a space that is modern without being cold, and restful without being remote: a small, well-designed studio in a beautiful corner of the Fleurieu.

Why they chose this property

Studio on Forktree was created as part of the owners’ vision for a modern home that truly sits within its landscape. The studio offers a way to share that outlook and sense of calm with guests while keeping the main residence as a family home. By partnering with Blocks Road, the owners are able to welcome guests in a thoughtful, considered way – with a focus on comfort, privacy and respectful use of a space they genuinely love.

What makes this property unique

Inside, an open-plan layout combines a queen bed, cosy living area and well-equipped kitchenette, with large windows framing the rural and coastal outlook. A contemporary bathroom with bathtub invites slower evenings and unhurried mornings, while the studio’s modern finishes and natural stone elements bring a calm, restful feel throughout.

The overall feel is calm, contemporary and uncluttered – a studio that’s easy to live in for a few nights or a longer stay.
