This is such a beautiful, very clean and spacious house; one of our favourites to stay in during our trip in Melbourne!
It would be a great place for 2 families with kids to stay here - the kids could have the lower living room and one of the two porches upstairs to themselves!
It's the small touches you appreciate when you're staying somewhere new. Had to pay for linen but it was worth it for us as it was convenient, and we appreciated how they were so neatly arranged like in a service apartment. We found the maps and brochures left on the kitchen counter helpful in planning our activities as mobile data connection was quite poor in that area.
Unfortunately, we didn't wake up early enough to look out for wild kangaroos in the adjacent field but we were visited by cockatoos and, to our pleasant surprise, a kookaburra!
The road/ street directions weren't very clear to us as we turned into the residential area from the main road but thankfully we could easily recognise this house from the pictures and spotted it on the corner of its street. The location was about at least 1-2 hours drive away from the key Great Ocean Road attractions, something we didn't consider when we booked this place. But it is close to Erskine Falls, Wye River and Grey River Road (where we stopped by and were very blessed to fnd koalas up close!). We drove all the way straight to the Apostles and enjoyed the scenic drive along the winding coast back to this holiday house in Lorne.
Won't recommend ordering takeaway while you're staying here but do drive out for dinner at nearby Lorne town, or bring groceries to whip up some dinner in the fully-equipped kitchen or BBQ (which we regretted not doing).
Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much and wished we stayed a few days longer. Thank you again, Joyce! :)
