The Space:

Welcome to Joy Apartment 2!



The Joy Apartment complex is Lornes newest and most impressive collection of self-contained beach front apartments. Completed in December 2019 under the guidance of well-known local architect Lachlan Shepperd, each apartment has been meticulously designed, renovated, furnished and finally styled.



Features such as wool carpeted bedrooms, MCM house designer furniture, hand laid mosaics, polished timber floors, pendant lighting & Belling Ovens are just the beginning.



Located in arguably the best beachfront location in town, all apartments (excluding studio) take in spectacular ocean views from the decks and open plan living rooms. Central to all shops and amenities, and directly opposite the Lorne Sea Baths precinct, the Joy Apartments leave little to be desired when it comes to ease of access. Everything is truly at your fingertips.



The complex consists of 2 two-bedroom apartments on level one, 2 split level 3-bedroom apartments and one studio. All fully self-contained and all accessible via a central hallway with keypad access.



Both three-bedroom apartments have single lock up garages with 2-bedroom apartments allocated a laneway park. Smith Street adjacent to the rear offer all day parking within a stones throw.



Other features include Wifi throughout, smart TVs, gas BBQs and laundry facilities. Double glazed windows ensure sound proofing from street.

A lovely mid week get away

The accomodation and position was excellent and this apartment was clean, well appointed and had all we required. In relation to the property wifi /internet connection was very poor and improvement here would be much appreciated. There was a significant issue with the car parking spot provided to us for our stay with my car being damaged when the garbage was removed from a near by premises early one morning. I am hoping this will be resolved in a positive way but these arrangements need to be altered so the same doesn’t happen to others.

Lorne Beach holiday

This was an expensive apartment that didn't really deliver. It was what one could best describe as a "try hard". Fantastic location spoilt by an apartment that appeared to be built on the cheap. Noise from above was very evident. The apartment is spacious but has a lot of wasted space - again, attributable to a cheap design and build. Wifi was weak and only just useable. Overall a disappointing apartment for the price.
Response from VrboOwner on 21 Mar 2020
Richard, The owner has gone to great lengths to renovate and deliver not one, but 4 modern apartments and a studio for guests to enjoy. The apartments have been renovated to a high calibre and furnished impeccably. Are you an interior designer or builder? Probably not, for if you were you would not be making these comments. We have had no complaints regarding noise nor have we around Wifi strength. Had you have raised these issues during your stay we would have most certainly looked into these. We only hope unfair reviews such as yours will be seen by all potential guests for what they are, unfair!

It was a JOY!

JOY apartments in a word...Superb! What was promised was delivered. The luxury of parking our car and not needing it again until our departure due to the close proximity to everything Lorne has to offer was fantastic. The accommodation was spacious, had everything we needed and with a beautiful view of the beach/water. I would highly recommend, and would definitely revisit.
