About this property

Ravenswood - Unique and Historic

Heritage listed, dating back to the late 1800s, this iconic Lorne property, previously offering two B&B style studio apartments, now opens all its doors as a luxurious 6-bedroom, 5-bathroom, 3 living area masterpieces.

Located one street back from the bustling cosmopolitan Lorne, this highly sought-after location will allow you and your family to be on the beach in a matter of minutes. Majestic features throughout include separate, and somewhat royal, dining room and sitting room, both complete with open fires, second sitting room expanding into the spacious open plan kitchen and informal dining area. Sleeping quarters boast three fully En-suited master bedrooms, 2 separately accessed both with spa baths.

Comfortably accommodating up to 14, Ravenswood is best suited to multiple family or group of couples. Newly renovated bathrooms and modern kitchen facilities offer guests the romance of an historic property and functionality of modern technology and design. Central heating throughout and air conditioning in the open plan kitchen dining area allow for year-round comfort, so to the fully covered wrap around balcony.

Once upon a time Ravenswood was set on a full acre and compliment by a bathing house on the foreshore. What remains today, is a stunning landscaped garden, symbolic of a time when outdoor style and function was as important as the main residence itself. Take the time to stroll through these gardens and discover the private grassed areas ideal for whiling away the hours in the sunshine.

If you are looking for a location the envy of all, a property that breathes the history of a thousand holidays and a home for all the family and friends to spread out and enjoy, look no further than Ravenswood.

Reunion - work friends
This property is stunning. We had a group of 9 adults and there was plenty of space for all. The outdoor area was great for our Friday night BBQ. We were all excited to light the fire as the nights were cool. The location was ideal for those not wanting to climb the hills of Lorne. We will definitely be back

Fabulous
If you love period homes this one is for you! Great for large groups or two families with lots of nooks if you want some quiet reading time. The best equipped kitchen I have seen in a holiday rental! Great location, walk to everything.
