The view is exactly as described and it is a special place to stay and wake up with native parrots and cockatoos on the balcony. If you sleep in the master bedroom you can wake up to a wonderful sunrise over the ocean, pretty unbeatable :) The house is open and airy and we had everything we needed in the kitchen. The weather was cold during our stay and there is no heating in the bedrooms, there were electric blankets on the beds though. The laundry service (extra charge) only supplied the minimum so I would definitely recommend bringing your own. Lorne with it's beach, restaurants and shopping is only a short walk down the steps but far enough and high enough up the hill to be quiet, especially as we were there during the crazy busy Easter break, it was nice to climb back up the steps to our peaceful spot. It is a pity that there is no wifi, it would definitely be nice for next time, an essential these days I would think.
Overall it was a lovely place to stay and I would definitely recommend it.
