My wife and I spent our mini moon at Braelee Studio, which was the perfect place to relax and decompress after the chaos of our wedding preparations.
The views are a highlight, and did not disappoint. Even though our weather was a little cloudy and average, we were still treated to spectacular sunrises and sunsets, and there were so many vantage points to marvel at this little slice of paradise! Grassy hill on a picnic rug, benches around the fire pit, swinging in the hammock, table on the balcony, sitting in the spa, eating at the dining table or sprawled on the bed or couch - that view is always within sight!! We really appreciated this thoughtful design to make the most of it! We couldn’t bear to close the curtains once during our stay!!
The studio is full of homey touches, and tastefully decorated with character and care. The furniture and bedding was all very comfortable, and the kitchen was adequately equipped for us to prepare some simple meals. The crackling log fire kept us warm and toasty the whole time.
The spa on the deck has fantastic views, and is a great spot to sit in the afternoon. It was ready for us to hop straight into when we arrived, and was the perfect temperature for our wintery stay.
Be mindful of a slightly challenging driveway at the entry, and some nearby unsealed roads that are not noted on Apple Maps (when we drove from Rolland Plains to Bago Maze and Vineyards, we ended up on km after km of unsealed road without warning, which was a little nerve wracking in a new car!!)
Debbie and Collin were stellar hosts - so attentive and responsive. We had more questions and requests than we usually would when staying at an AirBnB, but nothing was too much trouble for them. Their hospitality was the cherry on the top of an already amazing trip!!
All in all, this was a perfect stay, and we can’t recommend it highly enough. If you love a view, this is the place to enjoy it!!
