About this property

Comfortable home with plenty of space to relax and enjoy the ocean views

This beautiful, four bedroom, two bathroom family home is the perfect place to relax in summer or winter in Lovely Lorne. The house is elevated enough to enjoy ocean views, but without the steep walk that often comes with those views. Wildlife abounds with kookaburras, parrots, cockatoos and many other birds visiting regularly and the odd koala and kangaroo stopping in from time to time.

Our home caters for up to 12 guests in a king bed, queen bed and queen/king single tri-bunk plus trundle upstairs and a queen bed and double bed in 'the Den' which is downstairs with its own massive lounge, tv and bar fridge (accessible from outside the house - no toilet downstairs).

The large open plan living space upstairs has something for everyone - relax in the reading/ TV nook overlooking the forest, sink into the comfy couch in front of the wood fire or simply take in the ocean views from the sun room (you can see the iconic Lorne Pier and Pacific Hotel lit up at night!). The children can stretch out on the carpet and play games at the table in the sun room, and there is even a desk and computer screen for those that need to work or study - there's loads of room!


The kitchen has been stocked with everything you need to cook up a culinary storm and the long dining table seats 10 -12, so entertaining is a breeze. Outside, take your pick from the gardens overlooking the forest at the front of the property, the afternoon sun on the back lawn, or the ocean views and BBQ on the deck.


Apologies to our school leavers, by request from our neighbours and after much heart ache, we no longer accept schoolies bookings or any party groups.

Birthday get together
Very comfy, clean house. All was great except aircon was not working on heat setting. Being winter would have been great to have this as wood heater took a while to warm place.

A lovely Lorne hideaway
A lovely spacious house, close enough (walking distance) to all the action of Lorne but far enough for a peaceful, relaxing holiday. This house was the perfect base for our family & friends to explore the area. My kids were especially thrilled when a koala perched in a gum tree in the driveway!! Leonie was the nicest host you could hope for. Ever so helpful and communicative. Highly recommend and we can’t wait to go back!

It was a fabulous house we loved the location and it was so clean, couldn’t fault it.
We had some rainy days and there were plenty and games to play and books to read and fire to sit in front of. Quick walk to the Main Street. Very easy for families as there are 2 separate living areas. We loved it so much have re booked. Thank you so much for a great stay Leonie.

Get away Gem
We were fortunate to be able to stay before Melbourne went back into lockdown and as a family of 5 with 3 teen kids, were able to really enjoy our time with our kids bringing friends along during our stay. All of the kids had their own spaces and being such a quick a safe walk into town and supermarket was awesome. Leonie truly looked after us with having the wood for the fire stocked, and provided those lovely touches such as blankets to snuggle in the couch and milk in the fridge etc. this is an older beach place with lots of warmth and soul and it doesn’t pretend to be anything more but over delivers on your ability to sit back and relax. Thx for the lovely stay.

Perfect Surfcoast getaway
We stayed for the June long weekend and the house was simply perfect. The layout is fantastic if you want a family getaway with adult offspring and their partners. The location is great, the views beautiful, the accommodation very well presented and very comfortable and the kitchen well equipped for all your holiday needs. We wholly recommend and Thankyou for a wonderful stay

Was very surprised that the property was available at the price it was 3 weeks out from our intended stay. Beautiful home that has everything you need, comfortable beds, all the utilities and utensils. Owner was lovely and allowed us to have late checkout without hesitation.

Comfortable and welcoming
Immediately we all felt at home and settled into enjoying our stay. Weather was and very cold but we,soon warmed up. Being winter the outside staircase in the wet and at night was a disadvantage particularly for those nocturnal toilet breaks but no one complained. Kids found the games fun. We didn't stay long enough to read the any of the many books. Would happily return, maybe summer though.
