We had a lovely stay at this accommodation. It was extremely clean and tidy. The linen and towels were crisp and fresh. A cosy and comfortable stay. The porch was nice to sit on and enjoy a cuppa or a meal, which we did do, it was tranquil and the sounds of birds around added to the experience. 2 minute drive to Lorne main street/beach. We had our dog with us too and she enjoyed it too. We will definitely stay here again.
