About this property
LOCATION! The Beach House Studio is Unique, Seafront, Central and Affordable.
Coastal Charm with Ocean Views – The Studio
Tucked behind a charming 1928 duck egg blue bungalow, The Pt Mac Beach House Studio offers a cozy and affordable seaside retreat in the heart of Port MacDonnell. The main house is also available for rent in a separate listing, but The Studio provides a private space with a rustic beachside vibe.
The Space:
A comfortable queen-size bed in the bedroom
A double fold-out couch in the living area for extra guests
Smart TV, WiFi, and optional workspace setup upon request
Cheapest ocean views in town! Look down the driveway to the foreshore and watch the cray fishing fleet in the harbor
The compact kitchenette includes:
A portable induction cooktop, microwave, and basic cooking essentials
A small Weber BBQ with a sink and running water in the outdoor patio area
The bathroom and separate toilet are just off the patio, newly renovated to complement the property’s relaxed beach hut style. The shower is over a small bathtub with a shower curtain.
Guest Access & Parking:
A lockbox on the side fence provides self-check-in
Shared driveway with designated parking directly in front of The Studio
No private yard, but a beautiful park across the road for walks
Pet-Friendly Stay? Let’s Chat!
While the Pt Mac Beach House (main house) is better suited for furry guests with its secure yard, we’re open to discussing options for pets in The Studio. Dougal, our friendly Westie, and I lived here for a year and enjoyed meeting fellow pet lovers while out on our very regular walks!

About the host
Hosted by Nat Rowsell
I have been hosting for more than 10 years and love to meet guests and have a yarn. I have lived a very colourful life and I really enjoy hearing about other travellers adventures. I travel with my dog and appreciate a welcoming place to stay, I try to offer the same to all of my guests.
Why they chose this property
I live on the 'Shipwreck Coast' at Port MacDonnell because I love the rugged beauty of our coastline and consider it as good as if not better than the Great Ocean Road.
After growing up on Kangaroo Island, I spent 20 years living and working in Alice Springs before moving back to the ocean here at 'The Bay' ... What a relief!

What makes this property unique
The Studio is private and comfortable, it is decorated with my creative flair and offers a really affordable seaside stay. you can see the crayfish fleet from the bedroom and walk only a few steps to the jetty and local cafes.
