L’Vista is wonderful - the house was perfect for our group and had everything we needed. The location is excellent if you want to be a little further out of the main part of town, and the view from the balcony and proximity to bushland was exactly what we wanted. Nicole was great to deal with and we loved our stay. We’ll be back!

The house is spacious, very comfortable, beautifully presented and extremely well equipped. The owner was extremely helpful and easy to deal with. We could not have had a better stay and will certainly stay here again next year if we can. Highly recommended.
Great location surrounded by lush bushland and magnificent views of forest and sea. House is well appointed and comfortably accommodated 5 adults with plenty of space to eat and socialise together amor have time alone when required. Communication with host was excellent and Nicole very accomodating of our requests. Thanks for a wonderful stay.
Super clean and well presented home in an idyllic bush setting with sea views - daily visits by a family of kangaroos, kookaburras and cockatoos were a delightful bonus ! Nicole was a delight to deal with - especially helpful in arranging an extension cord to accommodate the charging of our EV. Will definitely stay here again.

I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay Siew. We would love to welcome you back soon.
We very much enjoyed the peace and beauty of the house and surrounds. A view to Lorne and also the surrounding bush provided a delightful and restful space for my wife, our children and grandchildren. Plenty of space for everyone and the house is very well supplied with games and toys for all to enjoy on those rainy days.
A lovely house with great views, lots of space and lots of wildlife.
Very comfortable , books, games, tourist advice. Perfect for 2 families or group of friends.
Just a short drive into Lorne, (steep hill and drive)

Thank you Louise. Glad you and your friends liked L'Vista.
my family and I loved our stay at L’Vista Lorne. The house is clean and spacious and has everything you need for an easy and enjoyable stay. We particularly enjoyed kangaroo watching in the mornings and eating our dinner on the balcony under the stars in the evenings. Nicole was a great host who provided clear instructions for our stay and checked in with us to make sure everything was expected. We only wish we had booked an extra couple of nights!

Thank you Jessica. I’m so glad our local family of kangaroos came to visit during your stay. I hope you enjoy the rest of your Australian holiday.
We had a wonderful stay at L'Vista. Nestled at the edge of the forrest with views to the ocean the property had a great deck to sit and relax. The property was spacious and clean throughout, with large windows allowing in the magnificent views. It was pleasing to find the kitchen supplied with more than enough cutlery, plates, glassware, pots and pans for cooking. The outdoor BBQ was also a bonus for cooking outdoors on the warm evenings.
Nicole, the owner, was very thoughtful and always on hand to make our stay feel very welcome. We will be back.

About the host
Hosted by nicole kendall
Hello, I'm a mum of 3 teenage girls. L'Vista is our holiday home which we try to visit as often as possible. However with our daughters' many weekend sporting commitments we don't get there as much as we would like. So the house is available for guests to rent.
Why they chose this property
We love Lorne and chose to purchase L'Vista back in 2014 because of its quiet location, size, views of both the ocean and forest and the modern, clean interiors. The added bonus was the proximity to the adjoining forest. We love going for the 5 minute walk to the ridge were we sit on our favourite log and watch the sunset over the Otways without a person or house in sight.
What makes this property unique
L'Vista provides a wonderful holiday house for a beach holiday during the summer months. Whilst the open fireplace ensures the house is a peaceful, cosy, retreat during winter. The house is large enough to comfortably accommodate a large family, a couple of smaller families or a group of friends. We often have extended families staying to celebrate a significant anniversary or birthday as there is plenty of room to spread out. We also have overseas visitors as the balcony and windows provide views over the surrounding forest with its kangaroos, echidnas and Australian birdlife.
