Studio Two Art Deco Escape - 5mins to Geelong CBD

Originally built in 1929 as the quintessential corner store before evolving into a beloved Milk Bar and later a thriving photography studio, Studio Two has been thoughtfully reimagined into a one of a kind luxury stay in the heart of Geelong West. Rich in history and layered with character, this unique retreat beautifully blends old world charm with modern comfort, creating a warm and memorable space to relax, work, or explore.

Perfectly positioned just a short stroll from vibrant Pakington Street, guests can immerse themselves in one of Geelong’s most loved neighbourhoods filled with cafés, boutique shopping, local restaurants, vintage stores, and everyday conveniences. Geelong’s waterfront and CBD are also only minutes away, making Studio Two an ideal base for weekend escapes, business stays, or longer coastal visits.

Beyond the private shopfront entrance, soft natural light filters through the original windows and fills the open-plan living space, highlighting the carefully restored heritage details and thoughtfully curated interiors. Every corner has been designed to celebrate the building’s unique past while offering all the comforts of modern living. The inviting lounge area features a plush sofa, large 65-inch Sony Smart TV, complimentary WiFi, and a calming atmosphere perfect for slow evenings indoors.

The fully equipped kitchen combines style and practicality with quality appliances, a full oven, cooktop, microwave, dishwasher, and everything needed to prepare meals with ease. Thoughtful touches throughout the home create a relaxed and welcoming experience, from the statement pendant lighting that casts beautiful patterns across the space in the evening to the artistic details woven into every room.

The bedrooms offer peaceful and character filled retreats, each thoughtfully styled with their own unique personality and original touches that honour the home’s heritage charm. Warm textures, soft lighting, and carefully selected furnishings create comfortable spaces to unwind after a day exploring Geelong. Sleeping arrangements include:

Bedroom 1: 1x Queen Bed
Bedroom 2: 1x Queen Bed

Adding to the experience is a beautifully designed Art Deco inspired bathroom featuring floor to ceiling tiles and an oversized rain shower, alongside the convenience of a second toilet and European laundry. Outside, the quaint private courtyard offers a quiet spot to enjoy a morning coffee or evening drink surrounded by hand crafted mosaic paving and soft ambient lighting.

With its creative soul, layered history, and beautifully curated interiors, Studio Two offers far more than a place to stay. It is a distinctive Geelong experience where heritage character and contemporary comfort come together in unforgettable style.
