Lorne hotellia

Plussat: Close enough to town with a short walk to Main Street, with a great view of the ocean. We were extremely happy with everything and will be back for sure!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Great location. Beautiful views. Clean unit. Convenient parking. Helpful staff. Like that it's adults only.

Miinukset: Bed was really hard. If you book get a second storey unit. We didn't and we heard everything from above us incl the toilet flushing but especially the spa bath until midnight! Fridge was also really noisy!

Plussat: You could see all the way to the ocean. In the evenings kangaroos could be seen grazing on the open fields.

Miinukset: Internet is only available at the main office.

Plussat: Loved everything about Chatby Lane Lorne. We got really late while checking in, it was almost 11pm by the time we reached. But Karen was really helpful and looked out for us. We had a one bedroom suite, and all the facilities were excellent. Highly recommended. Wish we had more time to stay.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Miinukset: Bed a bit firm and would have been helpful to have a Webber bbq to cook as only a microwave

Plussat: Nice place to stay. Lovely view from the balcony.

Miinukset: A little more expensive than you would expect for some of the internal finishing.

Plussat: Nice location, clean interior, good beds, well equipped. Loved the feathered visitors on our balcony

Plussat: Location, quiet, nature, eco tents are awesome

Miinukset: Kids play ground was broken and not inviting

Plussat: The location and glamping feel

Miinukset: The hot water supply needs improvement

Plussat: Location - lovely and peaceful

Miinukset: Well equipped

Plussat: Good Location and views.

Plussat: Very cozy and private, kids loved the outdoor facilities like tire swings and Yabby fishing and cuckatoo feeding. had bbqs every night and the spa was another highlight with the kids. Good suggestions for activities from owner

Miinukset: Few more instructions for facilities (laundry et) would have been good

Plussat: Great location. Share space with kangaroos and birds who seem very comfortable in their habitat. Very relaxing stay.

Plussat: This is the most amazing introduction to the Great Ocean Road trip we were taking. The service was incredible and we were made to feel so at home. There are a lot of things included in the price, like a bottle of sake, welcome drinks etc. You are surrounded by native bush but a stone's throw from the restaurants of Lorne. We were so happy there and we have stayed in some nice places. Would recommend to all who want serenity and a lovely experience. Better than a hotel for value for money and the ambience.

Plussat: Everything - Gill and Graham were fantastic hosts. A welcome beer, great help with the locale and great breakfast! Not to mention lovely rooms and a view to die for ! Super sculpture and paintings too- we need to spend more time there !

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The location is quiet and peaceful and the host is warm and friendly.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Gill was super friendly and considerate. We felt super welcome and she was a fantastic host.

Plussat: The property is nestled at the edge of the national Park but is very close to everything Lorne. The hosts Jill and Graham were simply magnificent. Jill greets you like an old friend and is simply a warm and generous person

Miinukset: The rooms are a bit small but then again we are big people.

Plussat: The styling was excellent. The bed was super comfy... every detail spoke luxury. The breakfast was amazing... restaurant quality. The ladies were very friendly and have created a beautiful space with a lovely feel.

Plussat: Great room. Extremely friendly reception and interaction during our stay. Good proximity to town and beach (despite massive hill). Very high quality fit out.

Miinukset: Very expensive given the tightness and limitations of the property and lack of sea view. Tight parking and difficult access to small car park on property and little or no off street parking available.

Plussat: The gorgeous view and French linen plus the tasty & fresh breakfast every day!

Miinukset: Nothing. It was a perfect & Laurel & Sue were great hosts

Plussat: Beautifully appointed, stunning gardens, lovely hosts and very comfy bed

Plussat: Loved the room and decor. Except there’s no place to sit to do your makeup. This is a luxury property according to them and this detail should have been taken care of. Also the advice on where to see kangaroos was not helpful. Although they may be everywhere when you’re driving around you don’t want to see them near the road and it’s not safe to view them. Although Sue didn’t think much of it, Anglesea county golf club suggested by someone in Queensberry was the best place. There’s over 500 living free there and they do tours that are only 12 dollars. Sue might want to think about this good option in suggesting to her guests. We absolutely loved it.

Plussat: The friendly helpful staff & the great air conditioner during a 44 degree day!

Miinukset: Very minor criticism - when I booked I thought I had ocean views but it was actually a room with partial bay views- luckily when we arrived we could upgrade for another $30 and secured the front room looking out onto the bay and Lorne Beach

Plussat: Very happy. Clean comfortable and great service. Looking forward to my next stay here

Plussat: It’s in a great location

Miinukset: Not much

Plussat: Great value for money room with excellent beds, beach views, perfect mid town location and surprisingly quiet.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Beach view, close to shops

Plussat: Great place and nice view

Plussat: Absolutely amazing location. Right above a perfect breakfast spot, steps away from a beach with a lovely bar and restaurant on it. Lots of restaurants on the main road to pick from too. Just amazing! Thank you!

Plussat: Great spot, price. Great pool too!

Plussat: staff were amazing even gave me a heads up about the surf conditions before I went down had a great chat on check in and on check out again had a great chat to the bloke. Big rooms big bathrooms very clean tv reception was a bit in and out but I found that happens all the way along the great ocean road for some reason? Top location just grab your surf board and walk to the beach or anywhere else you need to go! Absolute top spot

Plussat: Great location . Comfortable bed . Plenty of eateries within walking distance.

Miinukset: Really disappointed with view compared to photos never trust photos shown on web. Air conditioner was unbearably noisy and was filthy needed a overall clean so did bathroom exhaust fan. Not very clean overall. Steep access to unit with car.

Miinukset: From moment of check/ in to check-out just a really unpleasant experience. Rude receptionist, no information provided, outdated room, uncomfortable bed, old bathroom, no wifi even though it was advertised.

Plussat: Comfortable bed, ocean view, large TV, cold fridge, hot shower, friendly and helpful staff

Miinukset: Wifi in room was patchy at best

Plussat: Clean bedding that’s all

Miinukset: Arrived to the hotel, had the door opened by a drunken party goer. Had to stand around waiting to be checked in for about 20 min why the security found the manager to check us in. While we waited in the lobby amongst drunk people. The whole hotel was used for a party venue. We were not informed about this. Full of young party goers. Loud dj music from two party areas all night then followed by fireworks right above our rooms. The main door had a broken lock. All the internal doors had Brocken handles. The outside light could not be switched off and shone in the bedroom all night. The fridge could not be used it stank of fish. Shower head leaked. Dirty glasses in the cupboard, still had fatty marks from been used. Over all not a great stay for the price charged. To top it off we had our payment of $950 taken off our card twice. We are still waiting for the refund to come back to us. Overall this is not the hotel to stay unless you are in late teens looking for a party.

Plussat: The apartment was a nice size with a comfortable lounge room space. We were worried when we booked this that we would hear a lot of noise from the pub however it was very quiet. Close to the beach and to the shopping street.

Miinukset: One bedroom had a fan in the room however the other didn't. We stayed on a very hot night and the second bedroom was unbareable. When we opened the windows to get air, a lot of small bugs came into the room. We had to spend some of the night sleeping on the couch in the lounge room. Their was an air conditioner in the lounge room however it was in the kitchen area and didn't reach the bedrooms. We had a baby staying and the hotel couldn't provide a portacot for the stay.

Plussat: Nice and central, room comfortable

Plussat: Absolutely perfect stay!

Plussat: Recently renovated room, nicely decorated. The staff was very nice and helpful. Great location in the center of Lorne.

Miinukset: The rooms are not very well isolated, you hear what is going on in rooms next to yours and the corridors.

Plussat: Clean tidy and quite

Plussat: The room was nice and cozy Staff were really friendly A nice place to stay during Great Ocean Road trip

Plussat: Great location to all restaurants and attractions

Plussat: The location was good, especially if you're looking to stay near (but not in) Lorne.

Miinukset: The window in the bathroom was broken and would not close. As a result there were many, many flying insects in the bathrooms and well as two spiders on the ceiling that would lunge after the insects. It was a bit like having the discovery channel inside the bathroom. The fridge needed a serious cleaning and there was an empty wine bottle left in there from a previous guest. The mattresses were not very comfortable. The walls had cracks in them (though the walls were quite solid and did a good job of keeping out noise from adjacent units. Also, the room was not cheap. I would have expected more for the price. However, I will mention that the property is under new management, and the new owners asked us to critique the property. Hopefully they will correct these issues.

Plussat: The manager was very helpful and gave us very good advice regarding where to eat.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Large room, very comfortable bed and super clean

Plussat: Facilities are fantastic. The jacuzzi bath was excellent. The bed was very comfortable. The location is perfect - you couldn’t have been any closer to the beach!

Plussat: The room location was great. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: 1)The air-conditioning unit in the room was smelling when we ran it. Smelled mouldy. 2) The sheets didn't smell right 3) We noticed that the cleaners mop smelt the same as the sheets??? Not nice. We didn't report it. We should have.

Plussat: Fulfilling breakfast. Location was fantastic and main street easily accessible.

Miinukset: The purpose of our trip was cancelled, and the hotel staff were very unapologetic and did not offer any solution or further hospitality for our situation.

Plussat: Staff were very friendly..... Great leisure facilities

Miinukset: Car parking-security needs upgrading....

Plussat: Great location and ammenities Staff very friendly

Miinukset: Our room only had x2 dinner plates (family of 4), no dish suitable for the oven and you could not read markings on oven to set, there was not a clothes drying rack.

Plussat: Perfect family destination

Miinukset: Comfortable, perfectly located

Plussat: Staff was good, special the bar, friendly

Miinukset: To much noise at night outside of room until 2am, I don't know if they were doing any maintenence, the bathroom was dirty , this was my fourth time there , they need to improve is a nice place

Plussat: Clean, convenient.

Miinukset: The sofa bed is too soft, my daughter who slept on it complained about it.

Plussat: Proximity to town, cost; very adequate re cleanliness, wifi was ok and important to me, bed comfortable

Miinukset: Am older adult traveling with pretty heavy bag. There should be a warning about this for older adults. We were on third level (1/3rd of units are there). There is no lift, the stairs are steep and there are 2-3 inch " small steps" in unexpected places that create fall risk. I'd say I'd stay again but only as an overnite pass thru and only if they keep the price low so as to justify stair inconvenience and fall risk

Plussat: size and kitchen included

Miinukset: had to ask for room to be tidied

Plussat: Clean room with an good room facilities

Miinukset: Internet service was very poor and the foxtel tv didn't have enough channels.

Plussat: Big room lots of space

Plussat: Staff refunded us nights unused after we left early due to falls festival being cancelled

Miinukset: Uncomfortable, noisy, run down

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Beds were terrible and window ledge in bathroom had large amount of dust and insect or other rodent droppings indicating not cleaned for a while. Door wouldn’t open fully due to location of fold out third bed. Needs a refurb for the price paid

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: The room needs a complete makeover. The entire place was extremely grubby. We found a badly stained under sheet on the mattress. We couldn’t get any sense from the staff.
