My family and I loved our time at Banu’s studio. We were welcomed so warmly and nothing was too much trouble. Banu had organized flowers, went above and beyond with tasty treats and made us feel right at home. The children loved their tradition of feeding her fish, patting Luna and playing around in the garden. The studio itself has a great layout and we found that we had enough space for all 4 of us. Very comfortable beds, cosy seating area with a lovely outlook onto mature trees, plenty of natural light and a nice hot bath are some of the highlights of the space. Location wise we felt so safe in both the studio setting and the neighborhood. Short walk to beach parks, st Kilda beach, Botanical gardens, acland st. Short drive to Ormond shops and Elsternwick park. We loved exploring the suburb of Elwood amd St Kilda and all that it has to offer- so much for kids to do. A big thank you to Banu and her lovely family and friends for making us feel so welcome, we hope to see you all again.
