Peaceful retreat

Pros: It is off the beaten track
Cons: Curtain on the front door. The front door is also incredibly hard to lock.
Location: Lots of beautiful bush walks, and waterfalls nearby. But also close enough to the front hustle and bustle of Lorne
Was lovely and peaceful setting to sit back and just enjoy the serenity.

Perfect. Absolutly beautiful.

We stayed for 2 nights in the winter months. Our stay was fantastic. From cozying up to the fire, listening to music and relaxing, cooking our own meals with the equipt kitchen, sitting on the verendah listening to the birds and the creek. The place was beautiful. Everything was provided. Right down to the board games. No bad things to stay about this place. Already booking it for the summer.

rustic retreat yet close to centre of Lorne

Pros: Quaint, rustic setting that was very homey.
Cons: Loved it all
Location: About a 10 minute drive from the main area of Lorne. Easy to get to. Quiet setting.
Our family of four were very pleased with the cozy, comfortable cottage in the woods. There was ample space for my husband and two teenage daughters. The fire was welcoming during cool evenings and the kitchen was well equipped to cook family meals. I would recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for a reasonable place to stay near Lorne.

Lovely cottage with plenty of room. No phone coverage was all the better and just a short walk/ drive to get back in range. Had our own space but knew the owner was around if we needed anything. Enjoyed the leave and quiet and breakfast with the birds within a short trip to the beach and shops.

Great spot with wildlife and access to trails

Very homely cottage in the forest. Fire place and heater, roomy and well set out. Too birding spot. Handy to walking trails etc. Highly recommend.

Peaceful cottage in gorgeous bushy surrounds beaut

Cons: The fire door needs a little bit of attention.
We loved our time at Kero Cottage and hope to return. Peaceful, relaxing and beautiful. Environment is like stepping back in time in a lovely way and feeling cocooned in an old style cottage but with all the modern conveniences. So comfortable. A great place to rest and read.
