On top of Lorne

The property is walking distance up the hill from the Main Street in Lorne which made it handy to get to the event we were staying for. We had plenty of space to sleep everyone and the kitchen was fully equipped for cooking for a large group. We had visits on the balcony from a few Cockatoos each night around sunset too.

Plenty of space for a large group or family

The owner Li is very friendly and responsive. We bought lots of food to BBQ but BBQ did not work. Li suggested we take the gas bottle to be checked and she would remimburse us but hey we were on holiday and had paid for the BBQ to work. Also, the balcony railings have a safety issue. If kids were playing and pushed on some of the the railings, they would fall 3 metres on concrete or a parked car. It is imperative that these railings are repaired ASAP. We did not allow our grandchildren on the balcony during our stay. One this is fixed, we would stay again.

Lorne

Stay mostly good but was not cleaned before our visit as set in dirt throughout house & musty. Mould in bathroom sinks, broken towel rail and linen supplied was dirty on beds. The kitchen was stocked with 3 wine glasses and one was cracked. Some dining chairs rickety & not able to use. Perhaps need to supply hand soap, matches & basics like salt & pepper. Enough accommodation for family & great deck out front. Good location & comfortable. amenities.

Great location to enjoy Lorne

The house is ideal for a group of people to stay together, with sleeping available for 10 in beds (on two levels) and plenty of room for a porta-cot for little ones. Ideal open set-up for enjoying each other's company which opens up onto a a large deck across the front of the property. As I said, a great place to enjoy, and explore, Lorne and all it has to offer.

2 families together after 3 years for a holiday

The house is in an ok spot. The house was dusty with lots of cob webs. The bbq was unusable and the lawns were not mowed. The WiFi was not connected. When we called the host she was very helpful.

Cup weekend get away

The property condition is as per the photos. The property is at the top of the hill. If you know Lorne, this is normal - all properties are up hill pretty much. Area is quiet. We only used the upstairs area and it was adequate. The place is a bit dated and needs an annual deep clean and update of some appliances but it was functional. The TVs are modern and web connected. Linen was provided and was clean. The downstairs area is a converted garage. We didn’t use it.
