Gorgeous studio stay

The property is very appealing. I didn’t realise there are 2 studios under the same roof and communal lounge. We had the whole thing to ourselves. Gas log fire was lovely. The whole place has a calming peaceful atmosphere. The host was lovely and very accommodating. The shower is above the spa both, so anyone with bad back or older may find it a tad tricky getting in and out, but the shower was divine! The 2 sofas were so comfortable to relax in as well. Smart tv is available to log your account into (just logout before you leave). Tv in bedroom as well. No cooking amenities only a microwave. An airfryer would have been brilliant. We took our little pup with us and she loved it. Sitting outside listening to the birds and kookaburra was so relaxing! The bed is very comfortable. Air con/heating also in bedroom. We will most definitely be back!! 10/10

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!

Beautiful stay

A fantastic place to put up those feet and relax. Sussan the host was lovely and knowledgeable about the area and walks to check out. We were lucky to have a beautiful koala staying in the tree just outside olthe verandah to share our morning coffee with the view of the ocean. 5min walk into the main section of town 15min walk back uphill. Would highly recommend to stay and look forward to coming back. Thanks again for a lovely romantic weekend away.

The rest we needed

My husband and I spent 5 nights at this beautiful place, enjoying the peace and quiet after a very stressful year to date. We were greeted by our lovely hostess and some local birdlife also made us feel very welcome. All the facilities we needed were there, including the outside BBQ to cook some easy meals, comfortable sleeping arrangements and a relaxing downstairs lounge. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Balderas

I have worked within the Tourism Industry for over 20 years.
Assistant Coordinator of the Lorne Visitor Information Centre.
Ocean Lodge Lorne , Cleaner
London, Plaza Hotel, Reservations and Sales.

I enjoy meeting and accommodating travellers, plus helping them have the best experience possible, while staying in our Picturesque Town.

Originally from a small country town, I love the community feel of Lorne.

Having met my husband from Lorne I settled here and eventually managed to build a house with a business attached to enable raising our two boys.

The perfect scenario.

We have been running the business for fourteen years.
It is still our passion to make everyone who stays with us feel relaxed and comfortable.

To drive away from our property feeling refreshed, ready for whatever is next on the the agenda.

Why they chose this property

If you want a quiet setting with a bush feel, but close to the beach, that is us!

The house was purpose built with the business drafted specifically to give as much privacy as possible to our guests.
It is completely separate to our living space, however semi detached.
You are at the front of the property. We live at the back.

What makes this property unique

The house was designed to replicate one of the original guests houses of Lorne.
It has Character, however with all the mod cons provided for a comfortable, warm, cosy stay .

French doors which lead onto the deck, allow a strip of Blue view of the Sea.
Gum Trees out the front to house the birds that visit regularly, plus the odd Koala.
Middle of Town to allow easy and quick access to the main street and Beach.
Remember, we are on a hill.
