Twin Gables Federation Retreat with Garden Studio

A spacious Federation home and self-contained studio combine to offer a convenient base for families and groups, just a short walk from Randwick’s lively dining hub. Fire up the BBQ for alfresco meals in the backyard while the kids enjoy the trampoline, then step inside to discover dedicated workspaces, a well-equipped kitchen, and thoughtful extras for longer stays. Spend the day swimming at Coogee Beach or take a peaceful stroll through expansive Centennial Park — both just a short drive away.
With a charming Federation home and a self-contained studio, this retreat is perfect for families and groups exploring Sydney’s East. The main house greets you with a leafy front yard, manicured hedges, and a timeless veranda, leading to a spacious living area with soft furnishings and a gas fireplace.

The kitchen includes a Nespresso machine, gas cooktop, dishwasher, oven, fridge, and a timber bench for casual bites. Dine indoors in the bright dining area or step outside to the covered patio for alfresco meals on the electric BBQ while children play on the trampoline in the leafy backyard.

The main house features three inviting bedrooms, each designed for relaxation and flexibility. The primary offers a king bed and a sunlit window seat, the second includes a double bed with a study nook, and the third provides two singles that can be converted into a king on request (no extra cost). Two bathrooms complete the layout, one with a bathtub and integrated laundry, the other with a walk-in rain shower.

The studio, accessed privately through the gate beside the carport, features a bright living area with comfortable seating, a TV, and a dedicated workspace. A compact bar area provides a Nespresso machine, microwave, toaster, milk frother, mini fridge, and essentials for quick snacks. A queen bed dressed in fresh linens and an ensuite with a walk-in shower, vanity, and toilet complete the space.

A private driveway allows off-street parking for one vehicle. The main house includes ceiling fans in every bedroom and the living area, along with a powerful portable gas heater for cooler months. The studio also features a ceiling fan and a portable heater. Children’s books and toys are provided to keep kids entertained.
During your stay, you and your group will have the entire house and studio to yourselves. Please make yourselves at home!

Set in one of Randwick’s most walkable pockets, this retreat places dining, culture, and coastline within easy reach. Just five minutes on foot brings you to The Spot — a lively precinct in Randwick at the intersection of Perouse Road and St Pauls Street — home to local favourites like Umamarin for fresh Thai, woodfired classics at Mammas and Papas Ristorante, French staples at Four Frogs Crêperie, and cocktails with Spanish flair at Del Punto. Catch a film just six minutes away at the historic Ritz Cinema, a beloved Art Deco landmark. For everyday essentials, Randwick Plaza is a 12-minute stroll from the studio. Buses nearby provide easy links to Coogee Beach, the starting point for the breathtaking Coogee to Bondi coastal walk.

Due to local regulations, we can happily host you for up to 90 nights. Any bookings that exceed this duration will be cancelled by Vrbo.

Please request your preferred bed setup for the third bedroom in advance, or at least one day before check-in. There’s no extra cost for advance requests. Changes requested after check-in incur an $80 fee for linen changes.
