Lorne's place has a real beach shack feel to it. It's a perfect place to relax and unwind, away from the hustle and bustle!
It has a simply amazing view out over the ocean towards Maria Island from the large deck that comes off the living area's which is perfect to sit and relax with a beer or wine from one of the local vineyards, listening to the sounds of the waves crashing onto the shore and the birds chirping in the trees. We spotted an echidna wondering through the garden at one point, too. :)
The apartment is spacious and has two bedrooms, a bathroom which has a small bath at the base of the shower for the smaller humans like our 1-year-old daughter who was travelling with us. The kitchen dining and living area is big enough for a family and there is a second, smaller living area through the main bedroom which would be perfect for parents to have some quiet time while the kids are watching TV in the main living area.
It is directly opposite Spring Beach which is a beautiful and secluded beach perfect for families to enjoy. Lorne's place has everything you could need for a beach stay as well!
Just a short drive away (10-15 minutes) to Triabunna through Orford where you've got some local places to eat and drink. We tried the restaurant at the East Coaster on the way to Triabunna and the fish and chip takeaway place at the Marina, both fantastic!
Lorne gives all the profit of her AirBNB to charities and there's information regarding which charities she has donated, only keeping enough to cover running costs. This is amazing and it should be reason enough to book here, in my opinion! Not to mention all the other great things I have mentioned.
The Maria Island Ferry is near the fish and chip shop mentioned above, so only a 15 minute drive away.
Highly recommend staying here if you are travelling in the area, it's a perfect gateway for those wanting to travel to Maria Island. No wifi but phone reception was perfect with Telstra.
Oh, and Spring Bay Distillery is just a minute or so drive up the road. We stopped in for a tasting and walked away with a couple of bottles! (currently closed during the week but we got lucky on a Tuesday)
Will definitely stay here again!
