Great place with a lovely feel in beautiful surroundings. Our family of three really enjoyed our three nights here in winter.
However, it can be a little chilly in Lorne in winter, so I would advise packing warm socks/slippers for wearing around the house. It is a very peaceful location surrounded by trees and a nice walk to Teddy's Lookout. We saw plenty of kangaroos and kookaburras. If you want to go to the beach I would recommend driving as I wouldn't want to walk up all the hills to get back to the house!
