Gillian was a very good host- she provided plenty of information by email before our arrival and a detailed list on arrival of info about the studio and things to do in the immediate area and at Margaret River. My wife and I spent 5 nights in Gillian's Studio 1.
Gillian respected our privacy- we didn't meet her in person until just before checking out, but during our stay she was only a phone call/text message away if we needed anything. I'm glad we had a chance to meet her before we left- she is a charming and graceful lady.
Our studio was an upstairs apartment, part of a beautiful house located in a residential beachside suburb about 10 mins drive from Margaret River township. The studio is beautifully furnished and very comfortable. The listing was accurately described and suited us perfectly- we wanted a quiet getaway and didnt need/want to cook at home- not need to cook at home with so many excellent pubs, cafes and restaurants nearby! The neighbourhood is residential and very quiet.
A car is essential to get around- the nearest beach (which is a stunner!) is about 1km away and the other attractions of the Margaret River region (the restaurants in & around Margaret River, the many wineries, caves, amazing beaches etc) are spread out over a 50km radius from our studio.
In summary, we had a great time in Margaret River and the studio was perfect for us. Definitely recommend Gillian's studio to other couples.
