04/2026Beautiful home, perfect for our small family. Kids loved the fire pit in the backyard, everything was set up well (wood in the fire and fire pit etc), a lovely bottle of sparkling on arrival. We had a very relaxing weekend.

12/2024We had a fabulous stay. The bushland setting adjacent to a walking track to Erskine Falls is stunning. There is a beautiful deck set in the trees. We spotted so much bird life and the kookaburras and cockatoos were cackling around the house. The kitchen was quite well equipped. There are two excellent double bedrooms and with en suites and two indoor seating areas as well as two outdoor seating areas. I would have liked one sharp cutting knife, but we sorted that out by leaving the knife sharpened for the next guests. It is an easy walk to the supermarket, beach, and cafes.

09/2024This was the perfect location to relax for a long weekend. The property feels secluded, cosy and spacious. The forested back yard, the outdoor spaces and indoor living areas are perfect for chilling out or socializing.

08/2024Was more than we'd hoped for, the pictures didn't do this place and its surrounds justice. It was the perfect way to start off our wedding weekend and to reconnect together after a hectic lead up in such a peaceful location. Family arrived the next day and we were pleasantly greeted by a family of King Parrots. The house then turned into the grooms house and the whiskey that night was more enjoyable with a fire, the bush sounds and waves in the distance. But the main reason I picked this place was I knew it would have just the vibe I needed to be getting ready to be wedded. We got great photos on the balcony and the tranquillity of the bush meeting the sea was truly special. Will absolutely be back, possibly every year on the 24/08 ; )

08/2025Great location and spacious house with everything you could need for a short stay. The hosts were friendly and responsive and the accommodation is much closer (5mins max walk) to the Main Street of Lorne than mentioned in the listing
