We loved our stay at this beautiful house in Lorne. The house overlooks a gully of eucalypts, into the bush and ocean beyond. It has stunning views, and a lovely open lounge dining with pitched ceilings. The beds were so comfortable, and the shower hot and steamy - perfect for a winter break. We found the reverse cycle heating was great, and you didn't need it on all the time, just for a bit in the evening. You can walk from the house to many nearby bush tracks, leading to the lookout and the coast. It is a very short drive down the hill to Lorne town. It was awesome showing our kids the three kangaroos (and maybe a joey in a pouch) chewing on the grass in the mornings, and the resident kookaburra and parrots. A lovely, peaceful antidote to city life.
