✨ Welcome to Mellons Bay Little SeaView Studio ✨

Wake up to soft morning light and a glimpse of the sea in this fully private upstairs suite, just a 5-minute walk from beautiful Mellons Bay Beach and lively Howick village.

The studio is tucked away at the back of the house with its own access. Once you go upstairs, the entire guest level is completely private – your own quiet space to relax, work or spend time with family.

Inside your little seaview studio, you’ll find:

A cosy double bedroom with a partial sea view

An additional child’s single room, perfect for a child, teenager or extra guest

Your own private bathroom with shower, toilet and basin

A comfortable lounge area where you can read, study, work or unwind after a day out

The whole upstairs floor belongs to you during your stay.

🍽 Kitchen & Dining – Free to Use Like at Home

Downstairs, you are warmly welcome to use the family kitchen and dining room just like at home:

Full access to the shared kitchen for everyday cooking

Use the stove, oven, fridge, microwave, toaster and kettle as you need

Enjoy meals together in the dining area, a relaxed, home-style space

There is no need to book time slots – the kitchen and dining room are simply shared in a friendly, respectful way. We only ask that you:

Keep the area clean and tidy after cooking

Be considerate of normal quiet hours, especially late at night or very early morning

This setup works especially well for:

Families and study trips who want to cook proper meals

Guests staying for several days or longer who prefer healthy, home-style food instead of eating out every day

🌞 Light, Privacy & Easy Access

The studio enjoys plenty of sunshine throughout the day and looks over a quiet residential neighbourhood.

Access is via the garden and laundry area, with your own internal staircase leading directly up to the guest level

Once upstairs, your bedrooms, lounge and bathroom are completely private – not shared with anyone

There is off-street parking on the property, so you can come and go easily and safely

It feels like your own small apartment, with a homely atmosphere and a host nearby if you need help or local advice.
