Experiences like this are what keep me coming back to Airbnb. Charming 1980s era unit in a tranquil, secluded location with views to sea amongst the tree tops. Efficient, no hassle communication & checkin. Mandy granted us late checkout as there were no guests the following evening. Would book it again when in Lorne.
Some caveats: A house best suited for the warmer months. Simple kitchen with 2 element hotplate and combo-oven, probably not for those who love to cook extensively. While the main street is close, it's a steep walk up and when surfing, we chose to drive and park to avoid lugging boards up the hill.
