Escape to the beautiful Great Ocean Road and experience the ultimate relaxing holiday at Bowerbird at Lorne. This spacious and stylish beach house, just an 8-minute walk from the sandy shores of Lorne Main Beach, offers everything your family needs for a memorable coastal retreat.
As far renovated beach houses go, we think Bowerbird is right up there. Modest from the outside, the inside is something special. This is a classic example of a once loved beach shack, given some more love and meticulously transformed into an adventurous, contemporary coastal escape.
It features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms to the rear, with spacious, open plan living at the front taking in beautiful views across the bay and into the deep blue. Bowerbird is all about attention to detail, style and character. See for yourself, the pictures tell a thousand words. What they will not tell you is what you can discover for yourself. Like the cheeky little landing area to wash away the sand, store your boards, and escape the midday sun with a cold drink and a good book.
Bowerbird ticks a bunch of boxes. Warm, carpeted bedrooms with ample storage, all complete with reverse cycle A/ C units for maximum comfort. The kitchen is both styled and stocked to have the whole family gravitating towards it, while the lounge will have you gazing out through the floor to ceiling windows in the hope of spotting the next pod of dolphins or visiting bird.
Relax and unwind on the wrap-around deck with outdoor seating, a BBQ, and a couple of funky lounge chairs—ideal for family dinners, games, and enjoying the fresh coastal air.
Other features include undercover, off-street parking, Meile appliances and all those little things that make you feel right at home.

We had a great time over Christmas - the house is just as it looks in the pictures and the owners have fitted it out beautifully. Great views and an ideal location. Would have been 5 star but no WiFi - otherwise, the perfect rental!
Cosy beach house with beautiful views in perfect location!
Beautifully renovated beach home in a great location with everything needed for a fun and relaxing weekend away with friends.
We all had a great time.
Only feedback would be the back deck could do with some reinforcing otherwise was perfect 👍

Your rating means a lot to us, Nely, thank you! We can't wait to welcome you back.
Super comfortable house with everything that you could want for a group trip away - kitchen superbly kitted out, nice water views and even the local cockatoo's and parrots come to say hello on the the balcony
Lovely house in a perfect location with walking distance to the main street and Lorne Pub. Gorgeous views out to the ocean from the living room kitchen and deck, very much enjoyed our stay.
We had the most amazing experience staying in your beautiful and well-appointed home. The location was terrific for the whole family to be able to walk the beach and shops. Relaxing on the balcony, taking in the views to the beach and lighthouse was spectacular! The spacious layout of the house has everything that you would want for a family holiday. We would definitely love to stay here again!!!
We had a lovely time staying at this rental house. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and the property was clean with good views of the ocean. We would stay here again. The only issues were that the barbeque wasn't clean and there was red fungus growing on one of the outside doors.
Very clean and perfect for our family. So relaxing eating breakfast outside with a view of the ocean and the nice long couches make for great movie nights!
Lovely bright home, beautiful views, well equipped, close to everything - walkable but very steep hills around.
Children's bathroom very small.
Internet a little weak during high demand times.
