Just Perfect For A Couple And Sesational That It Is Pet Friendly
Fay the host was just lovely and welcoming! Couldn’t fault the accomodation and great that it was in walking distant of the main streets. Sensational it was pet friendly so it made it even more special... Fay was so helpful giving us local and touristy info! Will definitely be back xx

Superb Studio Accommodation
Studio 8 B & B is beautifully appointed and meticulously maintained. Many special touches from the very welcome provisions, footstools for the lounge chairs, right down to a clothes' brush reflect the enthusiasm and enjoyment Fay shows as a host. The Studio was CLEAN, private and quiet with a very efficient air conditioner that kept us cool on a 41 degree day! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend Studio 8 without hesitation. We hope we'll be back!

Beautiful hide away
Fay, is an amazing host, great to be welcomed on arrival. Fay's attention to details was amazing, she has thought of everything. I loved the studio it was immaculate clean and private. Our little dachshund had a wonderfull time Playing with Milly. I felt very safe and secure, and it in the right spot for shops and gardens for a walk. Thanks again Fay, Carolyn and Nigel.

It was my pleasure to host you all, and I am sincerely thankful for your friendliness and your FABULOUS entry in my guest book! Milli waited at the step for Roger after you left... Hope to see you back again sometime very soon. Warmest regards, Fay
What a fabulous stay we had. The pictures don't do it justice. Everything you could possibly want plus the kindest host I've ever had. Fay picked us up and drove us back to the bus station, took us to see the Lakes the day we arrived, recommended lovely eating spots and was so kind as to leave English Muffins, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, milk, water and candy for us. She is a delight to talk to and her puppy (11 years old but you'd swear she is a puppy) is the cutest thing ever. Without a doubt I will stay here again when I come back through. Fay, thank you again for your wonderful welcome and fabulous rental (I'd move in if I could. )

Thank you for your very kind review. Likewise you were the loveliest and most thoughtful guests. I hope you do return to Mt Gambier before you return to the US. Sometimes people come into your life who you wish didn’t live half a world away.
Safe travels and hope Australia treats you well 😀
Our two night stay in Mt Gambier was very enjoyable with the Studio's position perfect for exploring the area and within a short walk to the city centre for dining - NO driving!!!!!. Host provided plenty of valuable insights re local attractions and dining options. Very enjoyable.
Fay was extremely helpful when making the booking & accomodating when I mentioned I had 2 dogs that would be in the trailer for the Easter shows. Unfortunately due to an ill dog at home I couldn't get there but Fay was happy to allow my friend to 'take my place' for two of the four nights which worked out well for everyone 🙂 this review therefore is my friends although I'm sure it would have been the same had I got there my friend loved it & would definitely recommend!
Thankyou Fay everything has been greatly appreciated.

Thank you Rachel. It was a pleasure in accepting your friend Michelle as your substitute as both for yourself and Michelle your show dogs were housed in trailers undercover from the elements and not able to enter the Studio. We managed to stagger yard times with my dog Milli simple be text. I would welcome you both back unreservedly
This studio accommodation is so comfortable, clean, provides privacy and is so well appointed. It is in easy walking distance to main street and eateries etc. A great sanctuary to return to at the end of the day. Faye is a remarkable host and ensures you have an enjoyable stay in the area. Highly recommend.
It was nice, Fay is a great host & it is easily accessible to everything. Unfortunately our stay was cut short because of issues back home however Fay was very understanding and we look forward to completing our stay at a future date.
It was a pleasure meeting you, Cecelia and Anthony. Thank you for taking very good care of the Studio and leaving it do very clean. All the very best for the new year.
Loved my stay. Beautiful accommodation and Faye was really lovely.

We had a lovely, but short stay. Felt welcomed by Fay who was friendly and ensured we had all we needed. Studio was fresh and clean. Our fur babies loved the enclosed back yard and it was great being able to relax knowing that they were safe and secure while exploring their surrounds. Will recommend to all.

Set in the garden of owners property, Studio 8 is very private, quiet and in a good location for shops, restaurants and The Blue Lake. Breakfast supplies provided and lots of little extras which were much appreciated. Lovely bathroom with toiletries . Great communication from Fay who is friendly and a wonderful host.
