About this space

Originally built in 1914 to house Southport’s railway workers, Gray Cottage is a charming Queenslander that brings together century-old character and fresh, modern styling. Located just a 5-minute walk from Broadwater Parklands and Southport CBD, this beautifully restored cottage offers a calm, light-filled backdrop with a warm sense of place—ideal for lifestyle, editorial, and brand shoots.

Set behind a high front fence and automatic gate, the home offers privacy and flexibility across both indoor and outdoor zones. Two generous queen bedrooms and two newly renovated bathrooms provide versatile options for talent prep or styled content, while the open-plan living, dining, and fully equipped kitchen anchor the heart of the home with clean, considered flow.

True to its heritage, the cottage retains original features like 12-foot ceilings, stained glass panels, timber fretwork, and sash windows—each adding rich texture and visual interest. These details bring soul to every frame, contrasting beautifully with the fresh white palette and modern updates. Natural light pours through the cottage throughout the day, creating soft, flattering conditions for photography and film.

Outside, a large, flat grassed yard is fully fenced—perfect for family, wellness, or product shoots that require green space or a styled garden setup. The surrounding streetscape is quiet and residential, allowing for uninterrupted production and easy access for crew.

Whether you’re shooting content with a nostalgic, cottagecore, or coastal vibe—or simply looking for a refined, character-filled interior with natural light—Gray Cottage offers a seamless, story-rich canvas.

Located on the Gold Coast and designed to support creatives, this space is equally suited to full-day film productions, photoshoots, or small workshops looking for a setting that feels both grounded and elevated.
