About this property

Ocean view house opposite the beach that sleeps up to 10 guests

"Lorne Ocean Front Escape" is a short term beach front holiday rental property with fantastic views overlooking Louttit Bay and with180 degree views looking across to the lighthouse in Anglesea and to the pier in Lorne and is only a 100 metre walk to the beach.
It is a 3 level house with 3 separate living areas, 2.5 bathrooms & 5 bedrooms that sleeps up to a maximum of 10 people. If you require 5 bedrooms for a booking for less than 10 people, you are required to book the whole house as in, book for 10 people, otherwise the extra bedrooms will be locked off but you still have access to all the living areas. Minimum booking is for 6 people in three bedrooms except on long weekends, public holidays & peak season where a booking of 10 guests is required to be able to book the property.
It also features 3 separate deck areas for lounging around or entertaining or if you want to find your own space to read a book or spend some quite time. There is a front loader washing machine in the laundry area and up to 4 car parking spaces under a carport.
It is only a 15 minute walk along the beach to the main town centre and 10 minute walk on a sealed flat footpath to the supermarket.
There is also an abundance of wild life that visit our property such as cockatoos, parrots, kookaburras and the odd kangaroo.
It is a short drive to Erskine or Sheoak Falls and there are some lovely bush walking tracks close by, along with Teddy's lookout with spectacular views overlooking the ocean and surrounding bushland.
Please note: We do not have Wifi

Great house to welcome in the new year
We were a group of 10 that stayed at this property for 2 nights. The house is set over 3 levels with amazing views from the spacious living area on level 2 and bedrooms on level 3. Plenty of areas both inside and out to relax and enjoy the Lorne vibe. We had a great stay and would return to this property again. Thank you Veronica for being a great host.

We had a great weekend away. The house is in a great spot with fantastic views, comfortable walking distance into town but still nice and quiet. The house is really comfortable and well equipped.

Short stay
Nice and clean holiday house with good water views. House is on a steep land so elderly people or people with special needs may find it difficult to walk up the steps. Otherwise, a great place and host was very responsive. Thank you Veronica.

Wonderful house
We had a wonderful stay. We stayed at this house over the weekend for the Amy Gillet Bike ride and it was just perfect. The house is well equipped with everything we needed. The view is stunning. It is very close to the beach and an easy walk to the town centre. Highly recommended for larger groups. There is space enough for everyone with 2 living rooms and a sun room. No bunk beds made it perfect for our group.

Beautiful views
Well equiped property and good for large groups. It was surprising there was no wifi and smart TV which I'd expect for a property of this caliber, it wasn't an issue for us this time but may prevent us booking again. I would just suggest to owner to ensure it's really clear on booking that smaller groups won't have all 5 bedrooms and what is defined as a small group. We were a group of 8 friends and assumed that would be considered large (given house max 10 people) however were disappointed this wasn't case and initially were therefore only going to have access to 4 rooms. Luckily the owner kindly changed this when requested.

About the host

Hosted by Veronica Daffey

Host profile image
My family has had property in Lorne for well over 40 years as we just love the natural environment with the bush and the ocean and there is plenty of birds and wildlife. There are so many lovely walking tracks along the beach to the pier as well as through many of the bush areas where waterfalls & rivers can be found.
I have been managing holiday rentals privately in Lorne for over 20 years so I have plenty of experience in this area and strive to give the holiday maker the best possible stay by making sure everything is as perfect as it can be so they can relax and enjoy every minute.

Why they chose this property

This property is situated in the perfect spot overlooking Louttit Bay with 180 degree views around to Anglesea lighthouse and back to the Lorne pier. You can see the waves crashing on the shore across the road and at the right time of the year, you can even see whales migrating south or dolphins or sea lions swimming by. You can walk across the road to the beach or take a 10 minute walk along a sealed, mostly flat footpath to the local supermarket or drive to the town centre in 5 minutes. The best part is, it is not in the heart of the town centre where in peak period can be extremely busy & noisy, it is in North Lorne away from the hustle & bustle where you can completely relax & chill out amongst the rolling of the waves and amoungst all the beautiful wildlife.

What makes this property unique

This is a unique property as it has 3 levels and can accommodate up to 10 people which overlooks Louttit Bay. We often have 2 families stay comfortably as it has several different living zones and guests can escape if they want their own peace & quiet. They can also come together as a large family and enjoy the outdoor living areas as well as a large dining, kitchen & living area, sunroom/office and smaller downstairs TV area for smaller children.
The kitchen is fully equipped to cater for 10 people so you can be assured that you will have most items you require if you enjoy cooking and entertaining and there is also a BBQ on the middle deck which overlooks the ocean with outdoor tables & chairs to enjoy in the warmer weather.
