Great interior design
Nice little place, perfect for a couple. The interior is very well thought out, feels homely and cosy. Location was nice and secluded, away from big roads. Only downside is that the bed and the pillows weren't the most comfortable but doable for a couple of nights.

Perfect relaxation.
This tranquil and stylish studio is the perfect getaway. Sharlene the host, has created the most soothing and relaxing environment with beautiful decor and a homely feel. Thoughtfully full of everything you could need including beautiful beach blankets and towels, generously supplied with beautiful bath soaps, room sprays that smell amazing, and much more. The perfect place to relax and unwind, with local beaches and wineries close by, and less than half an hour to the hot springs. Shalene was more than accommodating to make the weekend unforgettable, providing the perfect place to get down on one knee. We hope many more people find this place as amazing as we did.

Relaxing tranquil stay
A beautiful weekend away at arakoola studio. From the moment we walked through the door we instantly felt relaxed by the beautiful styling. The bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable, and the location was perfect for a lovely stroll down the path to the shops or beach. Sharlene was the most hospitable host and ensured everything was perfect for our stay. Lots of generous surprises included too!! Would recommend to anyone - we will certainly be back.
