Wonderful property in Lorne, scenery and wildlife is incredible around property. Small basic kitchenette but we ate out. The King Parrots were a highlight.

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.
