We stayed for 18 days through the Christmas/New Year period and couldn't be happier with our decision to stay at Orchard Lodge.
We spent most of our time at Lorne beach, a beautiful 30 minute drive away, but also enjoyed cycling in Forrest, horse riding in Bellbrae, some lovely drives through the Otways, and a few quick rounds of golf at Birregurra Golf Course in between. Orchard Lodge is so close to everything and can cater for any type of break you desire.
The Birregurra General Store has most things you'll need, but our big Christmas shop was done in Colac, only 15 minutes away.
Orchard Lodge was great to come back to after a busy day and had everything we needed. Even our dog felt right at home.
Shanti is a fantastic host, so quick at getting back to us about any questions we had.
We would definitely stay again.
