If your creative energy is sapped or you just want to relax take it easy in Studio 500’s surrounding property. There are always vibrant colours and fragrant blooms in the cottage garden, and, from the rear verandah, you can observe the bird life on the dam in the valley below.

Or take a seat, have a glass of local wine and enjoy convivial conversation with your friends, with views of Mount Macedon, Hanging Rock and The Jim Jim in the distance as you talk about the day’s activities and achievements.
