We had a lovely 8 night family stay during winter at Mandy's Lorne Getaway apartment. The fireplace was already set on our arrival, a very nice touch. Enough firewood provided for our whole stay. Kitchen is excellent, everything one could need, lounge very comfortable with two couches, a big TV, and a big dining table. The apartment is very comfortable overall, and well located. I would say it's better than the pictures suggest. The upper bedroom has big windows and a partial view to the ocean. Lots of birdlife around the garden, including a cockatoo that visited the balcony a few times. Instructions on finding the shortcut path down to the main street were perfect - quiet at the apartment but not far from the bustle on the foreshore. A perfect base for walking around Lorne and surrounds. Although we didn't meet her in person Mandy was a friendly and very responsive host. We will be back!
