Fantastic Views

Large house, with plenty of room for the family, perfect if you have teenage/adult children or two couples as one bedroom upstairs, two downstairs with a second bathroom. Great views from the balconey. The garage was handy, and comfortable home. House is up a big hill, so be prepared to walk or drive down to the shops, although they are close by.

BEAUTFUL VIEWS

Peaceful location with spacious deck to sit and watch the ocean. If you don't mind a steep uphill walk you can leave the car in the lock up garage for your whole visit. Lorne has everything you could want for a beach holiday which is why we keep coming back. One note - there is no cd player as listed on the site so being your own speaker for music.

Amazing View

Great place for a family holiday. The view was spectacular and the house was very well equipped. Parents retreat upstairs was particularly comfortable and the garage was a bonus for ease of access. Bathrooms and laundry excellent. We will book again if owners keep a similar price which is reasonable. Extra fridge in the garage would be handy.

Great for families!

Great location, a steep walk up a hill but loved the views, so it was worth it! Also lock up garage was a bonus. Good setup for families with 2 rooms and bathroom downstairs and main bedroom and ensuite upstairs. Noted there was beach equipment (toys, chairs, etc) but was not sure we could use them so would have been good to know. Well stocked kitchen in terms of cutlery and utensils. Would book this place again.

So comfortable and easy with great views

Such a warm and comfortable beach house- set up just like home. From the double garage with perfectly stacked firewood, to the balcony with stunning uninterrupted views over the coastline. Spacious, and great for a family with cosy beds. Great for a shared family holiday with kids and grandparents. We'll be back. Again.
