***Free wine and beer on arrival***

You've been scouring online for the perfect getaway for your next anniversary, birthday, or special celebration.

Look no further.

With free beer and wine on arrival, you'll kick off your celebration on the right foot. This special place has it all. Enjoy the quiet beauty of the bushland and make memories among the gardens, trails, and natural beauty at Mountolive Studio. Plan a nice dinner and escape back to this quiet gem, as you're no more than 40 minutes from Perth.

Our amenities are the perfect way to celebrate. Enjoy a stocked kitchen and enclosed barbeque area, take a swim in the secluded swimming pool, or walk through picturesque gardens for social media worthy pictures. Once you've called it a day, cozy up and sleep on a comfy king bed.

This retreat is a gem of natural beauty. You'll have 20 acres to explore, leaving plenty of area to enjoy the natural landscape up close and personal. Visit with the local kangaroos at dusk or embark on early morning hikes to step away and make lasting memories. The loft is surrounded by bush, gardens, and beautiful birds so you'll be immersed in the quiet serenity of the bushlands while enjoying this cozy space inside and out.

There's enjoyment here for all seasons of the year! Whether it's swimming, hiking, barbecuing or relaxing by the fireplace, you'll be at home in this secluded, convenient getaway.

The greatest perk about this stay is how close it is to Perth. At less than 40 minutes to the city, It's a quick drive there for a night out, and a quick drive back to escape it all over again. No need to travel hours south to enjoy peace, quiet and a fresh getaway. Make reservations at a new restaurant, enjoy your time out and make it back for a relaxing night away.

We know celebrating without your dogs is tough! With 4 enclosed dog areas, a raised dog bed, and swimming areas throughout the property they're welcome too. Take them on long hikes or sit back and enjoy the outdoor seating areas as they run wild, they're in for a weekend treat too. And should you need a night out, we provide dog sitting and walking services! They deserve a little time to unwind away from working hard being our best buds.

Whether you're looking to celebrate a special occasion this weekend or you're looking for a spontaneous getaway, it's hard to beat the convenience, natural beauty and allure of this studio. Be prepared for an amazing natural experience that will wow you, your fur babies and sweep you away for the perfect celebration of your special moment.

Perfect Staycation
We absolutely loved every second of our stay at Mount Olive Studio. The studio was the cutest and cosiest base camp for our exploration around the surrounding bush land, tracks and pubs. The fact that it is dog friendly make it all the more better. Junko was fantastic to deal with and we are so grateful for her and her partner sharing their beautiful space. Can’t wait to be back!!
