It's difficult to put in to words our wonderful time at Lorraine's. We had high expectations already and they were all exceeded. We've been there for a month, and since day one Lorraine made sure we felt right at home. The house is beautiful, the breakfast is delicious and generous (if you are lucky you may even find some hot-crossed buns!), we were able to use awesome bikes whenever we want, and most importantly we got to share very good moments of conversation with her and other awesome guests.
She is vey knowledgeable of Melbourne and its surroundings..and life itself! so whatever you need to know she'll be able to recommend stuff or give you direct solutions.
Altona is lovely and location is perfect. The house is just a few blocks away from the beach and from the train station that will get you wherever you want to go (around 30 min ride to CBD). Also a 15 min walk from Pier St, the lovely heart of Altona where you can find lots of good cafés and places to eat.
Hope we can come back to Lorraine's in the future! best host ever :)
