Our family of 4 - 2 children aged 11 and 12 - spent 5 nights at Mardi's place in Lorne over Christmas. It was our first Christmas away from home and Mardi had decorated the place beautifully so that the kids felt at home. We had a Christmas tree to put our presents under and a few Christmas decorations around the place.
The house is ideally located - close to the beach, shops and restaurants. Everything is either a short walk or drive away.
The house was spacious with lots of light. All windows had black out blinds which were excellent in the morning.
The TV reception in Lorne was terrible and we could not pick up any TV channels so be prepared with TV you can watch on devices.
The house has a quirky layout but has a lot of space to spread out.
