Comfortable home with plenty of space to relax and enjoy the ocean views
This beautiful, four bedroom, two bathroom family home is the perfect place to relax in summer or winter in Lovely Lorne. The house is elevated enough to enjoy ocean views, but without the steep walk that often comes with those views. Wildlife abounds with kookaburras, parrots, cockatoos and many other birds visiting regularly and the odd koala and kangaroo stopping in from time to time.
Our home caters for up to 12 guests in a king bed, queen bed and queen/king single tri-bunk plus trundle upstairs and a queen bed and double bed in 'the Den' which is downstairs with its own massive lounge, tv and bar fridge (accessible from outside the house - no toilet downstairs).
The large open plan living space upstairs has something for everyone - relax in the reading/ TV nook overlooking the forest, sink into the comfy couch in front of the wood fire or simply take in the ocean views from the sun room (you can see the iconic Lorne Pier and Pacific Hotel lit up at night!). The children can stretch out on the carpet and play games at the table in the sun room, and there is even a desk and computer screen for those that need to work or study - there's loads of room!
The kitchen has been stocked with everything you need to cook up a culinary storm and the long dining table seats 10 -12, so entertaining is a breeze. Outside, take your pick from the gardens overlooking the forest at the front of the property, the afternoon sun on the back lawn, or the ocean views and BBQ on the deck.
Apologies to our school leavers, by request from our neighbours and after much heart ache, we no longer accept schoolies bookings or any party groups.

3 families just spent a fabulous long weekend here . It was everything we expected and Leonie was a great host and very easy to commune with . Highly recommend.
Leonie and Phil are very easy to deal with and very accomodating. Lovely home. Very spacious, clean and comfortable. Living areas are very large as well as the bedrooms. Beds are very comfy as well which is a bonus. Short walk to the shops and beach which is nice. Highly recommend staying here and will most definitely be back. Also, we had a visit from one of the local kangaroos and koalas! Thanks again.

A fantastic place for a holiday!
We came to this property to enjoy a long weekend away with friends- and enjoy it we did! The property was warm and welcoming- beautifully and comfortably furnished, with every little thing thought of. The new deck was fabulous for soaking up some sun while enjoying the amazing view and the bird life. Leonie was so easy to deal with, nothing was too hard. Thanks for a wonderful stay. We would love to come back!

Thank you Mel, you were a pleasure to deal with too! We are very proud of our holiday home and love hearing that our guests love it as much as we do. Look forward to you staying with us again. Leonie
We had a wonderful stay over the Easter break. A comfortable home with great living areas a well equipped kitchen for all your holiday needs , beautiful views of the ocean and easy walking distance to the shops and beach.Our granddaughter loved the birdlife she even got to see a Koala in the tree and a kangaroo out in the backyard, she also loved a little doll that was there, she carried it everywhere with her. Leonie is so lovely and very easy to deal with. Thanks Leonie and Phil for sharing your lovely house.Highly recommend, and our family can't wait to go back
A lovely spacious house, close enough (walking distance) to all the action of Lorne but far enough for a peaceful, relaxing holiday. This house was the perfect base for our family & friends to explore the area. My kids were especially thrilled when a koala perched in a gum tree in the driveway!! Leonie was the nicest host you could hope for. Ever so helpful and communicative. Highly recommend and we can’t wait to go back!
Very comfy, clean house. All was great except aircon was not working on heat setting. Being winter would have been great to have this as wood heater took a while to warm place.
We were fortunate to be able to stay before Melbourne went back into lockdown and as a family of 5 with 3 teen kids, were able to really enjoy our time with our kids bringing friends along during our stay. All of the kids had their own spaces and being such a quick a safe walk into town and supermarket was awesome. Leonie truly looked after us with having the wood for the fire stocked, and provided those lovely touches such as blankets to snuggle in the couch and milk in the fridge etc. this is an older beach place with lots of warmth and soul and it doesn’t pretend to be anything more but over delivers on your ability to sit back and relax. Thx for the lovely stay.

Our pleasure, Sally. We love our holiday home just as much and can't wait to get back down there post lockdown.
Great house, great area and just as importantly, great hosts. Accommodated 12 adults very comfortably which can be challenging & Leonie was fantastic throughout lockdown rearrangements and rebooking. No complaints at all, thx
Cosy and bright, elevated house with lovely tree views and ocean views. In a quiet corner of Lorne but easy walk to the shops and beach. Enjoyable and relaxing place to stay
We had a wonderful stay. The house has everything you need, plenty of room, comfy beds and furniture. Fantastic location with beautiful views. We will definitely stay again.
The property was absolutely beautiful. It suited us as a family, plenty of room for everyone and the little ones had a lovely area for their LEGO etc. views were wonderful.
It was a fabulous house we loved the location and it was so clean, couldn’t fault it.
We had some rainy days and there were plenty and games to play and books to read and fire to sit in front of. Quick walk to the Main Street. Very easy for families as there are 2 separate living areas. We loved it so much have re booked. Thank you so much for a great stay Leonie.
We stayed for the June long weekend and the house was simply perfect.
The layout is fantastic if you want a family getaway with adult offspring and their partners.
The location is great, the views beautiful, the accommodation very well presented and very comfortable and the kitchen well equipped for all your holiday needs.
We wholly recommend and Thankyou for a wonderful stay
