Okay

The host was easy to communicate with and the house was well equipped, however subpar cleanliness and upkeep were a big letdown for us. After months (or years) of rushed surface cleans the house really needs a good scrub - spider webs formed in the light fixtures, dirt accumulated in the corners and under beds/couches, sickly soap scum ring formed in the bath, and we even found someones used ear plugs. It’s not very accessible and family friendly, so I would definitely not be staying here again.

Great stay over the busy Xmas new year period

Our family of four (2kids aged 11 and 14) stayed here for 9 nights over the very busy xmas new year period. The place was fantastic - very clean, good air conditioning in all but one bedroom, very functional kitchen with all the supplies and crockery/cookware required. The rooms are quite spacious and the large open plan kitchen/living area was great. The location lacks a significant view but is in a nice quiet cul-de-sac and is a good escape from the more hectic ‘main drag’ of lorne. The house doesn’t have much of a beachy vibe and to us felt much more a town house not a beach house, but this is very clear by the look of the listing - so if you’re after a spacious house for pretty good value in walking distance to town and don’t mind missing out on a beach view etc then I’d very much recommend it.

Disappointing stay in a beautiful location

Our family have been visiting Lorne over the past 60 years through 4 generations and this is the only time we have gone home disappointed. We were told a few days before we left that we had to bring our own linen and towels, even though advertised linen provided on the Great Ocean Road listing. Was also listed in the terms and conditions documents that they provide linen. Instructions for key collection were unclear for collection and drop off. Had to call the host again who said she’d emailed me the info, which I have searched my inbox and the HomeAway app and nothing was provided. No firewood or matches or instructions on the fireplace, fireplace is advertised. One of the main reasons why we chose the property. The host told us they don’t deliver firewood in Summer. It was 2 December and 11 degrees during the day. No wifi, this was correctly advertised but you would think this would be a basic service in 2019. No heating in children’s room. We paid for a 3 bedroom home and could only use two rooms as it was too cold for my baby to sleep in there. Appauling customer service when we were told the power was going to but turned off for 6 hours. The host offered no solution or help in any way, she simply passed on the information as an FYI. We had no option but to cut our stay short as I needed to keep my baby warm and heat up her food. Whilst we understand this was out of The Host’s control, we were left stranded and were only refunded up 3/4 of the daily rate when we were forced to check out 24 hours early. No plug for bath so had to dangerously shower with my baby. I had previously informed The Host I would be bringing an 8 month old baby upon my booking. We paid a service fee and were asked to sweep and vacuum the floors, wipe down the fridge, empty dishwasher and put away all dishes which equates to 2 hours of work for a 2 night stay. With a large security bond at stake we followed all the rules and still managed to have funds deducted from our bond as a small piece of coal fell onto the cheap mat which was placed directly under the fireplace. It took over a week to get our security bond returned after having to follow up the refund a week after we left. Host is quick to respond however was most unhelpful, condescending and lacked compassion when we needed assistance.

Located just a short walk to Main Street and supermarket. Beautiful nature around the property.

Beautiful contemporary style townhouse sitting up high amongst the trees. The queens size bed up stairs is very comfortable & outside deck is lovely. We had a very relaxing break, enjoying this property immensely. We would love to rent it again.

Comfortable and peaceful stay in a relaxed setting

The house was ideal for our family - everything we needed to cook at home and within walking distance to everything (beach, shops etc). A koala living in the tree out the front was a hit with the kids.

Hidden Gem

We had a long weekend up our sleeve and decided to head to Lorne in winter time. This place was fantastic. It is hidden a short distance away from the shops (walk to for a lazy breakfast) in a beautiful quite location. The accommodation was clean, tidy and had everything we needed. The cupboards were clearly marked for what is where. The open fire was perfect for sitting back and reading a book. Awesome place, lovely owners. Thanks for a great weekend.
