I enjoyed my stay at Damon and Rachael's place. The place fits the description well. It's easily accessible from Sydney via train, while providing a smaller feel, with nice connections to nature. The sounds of singing birds is lovely. For those who like nature, the place is near a national park, but by foot somewhat inaccessible to the park (you can get there, but takes effort, due to the train line and main highway creating barriers). But a few blocks away is a reserve with a series of fire break paths that are lovely (I only explored a bit of the trails there).
The studio itself is behind the house as a separate unit, providing privacy. They have a lovely dog, who loves a good rub, but will leave you alone if you prefer. There were some basic dishes, along with tea/ coffee, microwave, and fridge. Nice lighting outside. It's a comfortable place for one or two people.
