We had a lovely stay at this accommodation. It was extremely clean and tidy. The linen and towels were crisp and fresh. A cosy and comfortable stay. The porch was nice to sit on and enjoy a cuppa or a meal, which we did do, it was tranquil and the sounds of birds around added to the experience. 2 minute drive to Lorne main street/beach. We had our dog with us too and she enjoyed it too. We will definitely stay here again.

The accommodation was simply lovely. Our little dog was very happy to have us with her for 100% of the time and loved walking down to the beach each morning, and after an early coffee, a slightly harder walk back up. Great for fitness. Our host family went above and beyond, on all occasions. We booked into the Lorne Grand Pacific for a meal and when the Uber failed to show Sue dropped us and picked us up. I will be recommending ours hosts and accommodation to our own friends and family going forwards.

Tranquil bush stay

My husband and I , along with our small cavoodle Tashi, enjoyed a relaxing getaway in April. The bush setting was a lovely contrast to our usual beach focussed experiences. We loved the access to fabulous bush walks snd our hosts were happy to share their extensive knowledge of tge area. The accomodation was well situated, very clean and comfortable. Thankyou for a great stay!
