Lovely house - clean, nicely furnished and well equipped. Nice touches including bottle of wine and couple of beers - thank you! Walk to Lorne town and supermarket is less than 10 mins - the older folks we were with found themselves a bit breathless coming back up the hill, but for most it is an easy walk. The house was pretty cold (October) but there are heaters provided in every room, electric blankets on the bed, and plenty of wood for the fire so it's easy to get cosy. I do advise future guests bring slippers though as the bathroom floors were freezing!!
We didn't meet Patrice but she was fast to respond to messages and lovely to deal with.
We enjoyed playing chess by the fire and getting up close to the local king parrots and kookaburra that visited us daily. Overall would definitely recommend to other guests.
