Pet friendly and lovely quiet surroundings. Easy walking access to the boardwalk. Very comfy bed. Easy parking off street. Lush green garden around the property with birds visiting in the evening.
Tracey, our host, was very welcoming and hospitable. We stayed an extra night and felt totally relaxed when we left. Thank you Tracey for everything. Kindest regards, Trish and Les.
Well presented accommodation, quiet and peaceful with a lovely host. Perfect if you are looking to stay with your dog. Tracey was able to look after the dog while we had the morning at the Hot Springs…a fabulous bonus.Highly recommend this location.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the studio and would happily recommend it. We were sad that we couldn't work out how to use the record player though. The host included a number of little surprises - on our way out we even found an umbrella hanging on the door. I've driven through Metung but never stayed, but what a delightful spot it is. Always love beach meets bush. Thanks The White House. Chris
We had a beautiful weekend away with family and couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. The property was beautifully presented, clean, and comfortable. We had everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable time. Thank you to our wonderful host Tracey for making the experience so seamless and welcoming. Regards, Aneeta

Thank you for the amazing review. I look forward to hosting you all in the future .
We were pleased to find a great place where we could bring our dog. Comfortable beds. Kitchenette with a microwave, fridge, toaster and kettle allowed us to prepare simple meals. Although we didn’t use it, there appeared to be a BBQ available. Room available for parking our boat.
Place is clean, equipped and comfortable. Walking distant to the lake, pub and jetty.Tracey who runs the property is helpful and responsive. Love your vinyl records collections!Will revisit soon when the weather permits..

The Host Tracey is a sweetheart and as I needed something it was right there.
She is very warmhearted and communication with her is very easy.
I highly recommend the place and I will for sure come back. Thank you Tracey 😊!
Hi Karen, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. The Studio is exactly as described — a cosy space designed for travellers who prefer a simple, motel-style setup with a kettle, toaster, microwave, and fridge. It’s ideal for guests out exploring Metung who just need a comfortable base to come back to, which helps us keep it at a more affordable price.
For anyone wanting to cook full meals, our Loft offers a complete kitchen and is reflected in its higher rate. I’m sorry this wasn’t the right fit for your stay, but I truly appreciate you pointing it out so future guests can book the space that best suits their needs.
Hopefully next time the Loft would be a better match — we’d love to welcome you back.
We had a great time at the studio. We didn’t know the kitchen didn’t have a sink and you needed to take water from the toilet tap. Is it doable but not ideal. Other than that, great stay. Good communication and clean and beautiful studio. Thank you for having us .
Hosting is a win win for me. I love meeting lovely new people and sharing my beautiful home with the people I meet . Metung has given me an opportunity to meet so many new friends, I wouldn't of without being a host.
Why they chose this property
I moved to Metung because of my love for the water . Metung is also a lovely dog friendly community with many tracks to explore. Metung feels like a playground for the adults. Once you come, you may never return home.
What makes this property unique
It holds two separate accommodation properties at 27 Christmas street. Book both studio and loft house for bigger group /family catch ups . The loft house has full kitchen where the studio has breakfast bar only. A pop up sink in bathroom to wash dinnerware. Both are surrounded by stunning gardens and birdlife. It is a 1km short walk into town from the accomodation. Private off the street parking. Travel with you fur babies don't leave them home.
