The Cabin -
Really private, Lovely deck, Big views.
Nordic cool aesthetic with stunning ocean and garden views 4kms from Lorne.
The Cabin is a hand built, open plan and fully self-contained space that sleeps two.
It features a stylish timeless interior with many quality design pieces and is perfect for a serene getaway.
The Cabin's a hideaway that understands its commitment to the environment.


The garden is large and requires gardeners who are active on the property, if they are scheduled to visit we will inform you. At times Caretakers live or are close by to the property and we will advise if they are scheduled to visit.

The space
There is one luxury bedroom that has a plush handmade solid wood Queen bed with luxury linen, a dresser, wardrobe and stunning leather couch with soft luxurious cushions.

There is everything you could want to feel spoilt and have a romantic farm escape. If you’re a couple or travelling solo, the Cabin is the perfect haven to experience seclusion and privacy.

The property has beautiful gentle slopes that lead into deep tree fern gullies and over years we developed an extensive landscape of European and Australian native plants, shrubs and trees, which is ever changing with the seasons.

The farm garden has now matured. You will find an abundance of fresh herbs, seasonal fruits, foliage and flowers, which are picked annually and are grown using organic practices.

We hope that others will get as much enjoyment out of experiencing The Cabin as we have had creating this special place.

The Cabin Lorne what a beauty
My partner and I were looking for an escape from the city, this is just that! Private tranquil, a place to escape the hustle and bustle and close enough to Lorne town. The décor is to die for, incredible comfort lots of beautiful details, a fabulous bed. The garden is wonderful with views of the ocean and the wild life incredible. Everything you need is here, highly recommended. A full pantry which is a delightful surprise, breakfast was supplied thank you and quality fittings. We will be back, thanks Maria and Don for a wonderful stay. Cheers George

About the host

Hosted by Maria Bortolotto

Host profile image
A renowned foodie Maria Bortolotto (Cecconi's) and her master craftsman partner create the ultimate home-away-from-home in the Victorian seaside town of Lorne - hence everything you can think of in the kitchen.

Here we grow an abundance of herbs, seasonal fruits and foliage, if you love to forage this is it.

We have created a relaxed yet sophisticated interior, an all-white palette then introduced warmth and interest through timber furniture, ceramics and textiles.

"We wanted to achieve an effortless yet stylish Nordic aesthetic — the furnishings were chosen to bring modern comfort to the rural setting. What's important to us when purchasing products is that they are handmade or bespoke, and made of natural fibres and solid timber."

Our property liaison is a super host with Airbnb and attentive.
The gardens are extensive and there are gardeners at the property often.
We want our guests to feel special and take great pride in what we do.
We welcome feedback always so we can improve our offering.
