We had a great stay

It is a classic Australian beach house, designed for going to the beach, coming back, showering and then having a BBQ. That said, we used the property as a base for a family get together in early Spring and it still totally met our needs. It was a cold weekend and initially the house was quite cold, but we bought wood from the local Foodworks and lit the slow combustion fire which burnt all night and was still going in the morning. There is also an electric heater in every room which warmed everything up in no time. Two of the bedrooms are accessed from the front upper deck (i.e. you walk into the main house and then out onto the upper deck to access these two bedrooms), with the main bedroom being inside the main house. We had 5 stay there and everyone enjoyed it, and we would stay there again. The host was a good communicator and was very flexible and adaptive to our needs.

Relaxed luxury

The beautiful beach home that has the best energy and views over the huge deck right onto the beach. A short walk from the township, so well located! These places in Lorne are few and far between in Lorne! A gem that's easy to live in and relax. Well worth a stay...in-fact didn't want to leave!

Just what is says it is!

We had a great time here, a lovely little original beach 'shack' that makes you stop and enjoy. Beach is across the road and views are to die for. Town is a super quick walk away. We loved staying here for a simple, relaxed, quiet time.

Good view but property requires attention

The view is amazing. It's literally beach front. However, the property is not value for the money you pay. The lawn had overgrown grass (needs mowing) and gave the property a shabby look. The house was cold and the outside toilet was unusable. There were cobwebs everywhere. For the money we paid, this was absolutely not worth it.

In need of attention

This is one of the remaining original holiday houses of Lorne and we were under no illusion about this. Yes magnificent views and location but this poor old house needs some serious maintenance. When we arrived there was an overwhelming smell of mould and we discovered that there had been a leak in the roof onto the (only) couch which was saturated (Foam couch). Both the fridge and hot water service were not on and the house was freezing (no welcome heater on to take the chill off the air). In our efforts to get the house cosy, we tripped the fuse to all power points, which required us to call the property owner to locate this. (Not in the external switch board but inside one of the bedrooms). Beware two of the bedrooms are accessed via the outside front veranda, which might be fine on a warm evening, but not when its freezing cold.The way this house was presented reminded me of days gone by when staying in with friends in the "family holiday house" and the family members had to turn everything on when they arrived. Payment was in property maintenance, not in cash payment..

Great spot, but overly priced for what you get.

Upon arriving, confronted by very long grass & cardboard rubbish in front of bins. No fans or air conditioning, furnishings very old & in need of replacing. Main bed was the most uncomfortable & old bed we’ve ever slept on. (We had to bring all our sheets, doona cover, towels etc) the outside deck in need of staining & table & chairs need to be replaced. Outside couch needs to go to the tip. Great spot & view but way over priced.

Beach front experience

It was a very simple and easy experience to organise our holiday. The hosts were easy to communicate with and the property was, while older, very clean and pleasant to stay in. The beach view off the large deck was wonderful and unobstructed.

Over priced for quality of accommodation

Great location and nice big deck but the quality of accommodation was lower than expected at the price point. Two of the three bedrooms are accessible only from outside and indoor bedroom very narrow. Bring your own linen is fine but we were rather surprised to see the house rules included the note that cleaners would inspect after departure and, if cleaning was needed, there’d be an extra charge. We do always clean and leave a place the way we found it but it’s a pretty basic expectation that rental properties are cleaned between guests - particularly in a time of COVID! It’s pretty standard practice and just came over as cheapskate. In general, we are absolutely fine with basic, and were expecting an old fashioned beach house but at the price charged, everything was just below par. As an example, no towel rail in the bathroom. It’s not a big thing but, why not just put one up? There’s space for one. We have stayed in several other properties in the vicinity in the past and paid less for equal location and better accommodation. So, in summary, okay buy too highly priced for what you get.

For us, this was a perfect property. It was a good old fashioned unpretentious holiday house that I remember before everything became an excerpt from Home Beautiful. Our hosts were very responsive and helpful. I would definitely love to stay in this property again. Thank you.
