Erskine Valley Eco Cabin

DylanRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Such an amazing property. Perfect setup to be able to switch off amongst nature. Very peaceful surroundings and the accomodation itself was everything we could have hoped for. Natalie was such a great host and gave lots of super helpful recommendations to explore the local area. Couldn’t recommend this accomodation enough! Will definitely be back.

CallanRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Such a cosy, modern stay. Brand new space with everything you need for a night (or multiple) in Lorne. Quiet street, while still perfect walking distance to the main street and beach front. Lauren was a helpful and friendly host. Recommend to anyone looking for a stay in Lorne.

The Deck House - The Great Ocean Road - Wye River

EmRating, 5 stars1 day ago
Our stay at the deck house was more than spectacular. The location is beautiful and the view is breathtaking! Easily the best accomodation I have ever stayed at! The deck house team were so helpful and the amenities in the home were great. My partner and I had such a great time that we didn’t want to leave. Will definitely be making a return sometime in the future!

Point of View Villa 4 of 5 - Couples Retreat

MeganRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Absolutely amazing, was only 5 minutes from Apollo Bay, and a tonne of great restaurants, the accommodation was very clean, very secluded, there was a bottle of champage and chocolates upon arrival. The spa with the view absolutely incredible! Everything was thought of. Comfortable bed and loved the gas fireplace so didn't have to cart wood in! I would absolutely recommend this experience and we will be back. Thank you for an amazing stay :)

NEW! Hilltop Hideaway Villas - Villa One

SamanthaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
A hidden gem just outside Lorne where the only drama is deciding whether to have your wine in the hot tub or by the fire. Spoiler: we did both. Peaceful, cozy, and the perfect spot to live your best relaxed life.

Your guide to Lorne

Welcome to Lorne

A pretty seaside town on Victoria’s spectacular Great Ocean Road, Lorne sits between the bushland of Great Otway National Park and a beautiful surf beach. The Lorne section of the Great Ocean Road is also the town’s main street. Rows of shops, cafés, and restaurants line one side of the road, facing a grassy foreshore and the sandy beach. The coastal road runs past the beach to Lorne Pier, a popular spot to swim and fish, before continuing on to the surf town of Apollo Bay.

With legions of foodies regularly visiting from Melbourne, the standard of the dining offerings in Lorne is unsurprisingly high. Expect excellent coffee and fresh local seafood and produce. Lorne is also well known for its thriving arts scene, with a vibrant community of artists and craftspeople. There’s a strong wellness vibe here, too, with wellness practitioners and spas offering healing treatments before or after your beachside yoga session.


The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Lorne

The ideal time to stay in one of Lorne’s holiday houses is from December to February, when the summer days are warm and dry and the nights are brisk rather than chilly. Lorne is a popular getaway for Melburnians, so it’ll be packed in the warmer months, especially during the school holidays from mid-December. The town is also inundated with indie music fans for the Falls Festival from late December. The waters of southern Australia can be chilly even at the height of summer, so pack a full-length wetsuit if you plan to surf.

From mid-autumn, around April, you’ll encounter more frequent rainy days, and there’s more rain in winter. Whales migrate past Lorne between May and September. The Lorne Festival of Performing Arts happens in October; the outdoor Lorne Sculpture Biennale, in October and November every odd year, marks the return of warmer spring days.


Top things to do in Lorne

Go waterfall hopping

You’ll find 10 waterfalls within a short drive of Lorne, with Erskine Falls the most photographed. It’s around a 15-minute drive from the centre of town, and flows all year round into a lush rainforest gully. Closer to town, the Won Wondah and Henderson Falls are not far from each other, while to the west the lovely Sheoak Falls also flows throughout the year.

Explore the walking tracks

A wide range of walks start from Lorne, from short strolls along the foreshore to all-day bushwalks in Great Otway National Park. The six-hour Cumberland Falls Walk takes in three of the national park’s most snap-worthy waterfalls southwest of Lorne.

Catch a wave

There are great surf breaks up and down the coast. Lorne Point is known for its right-hand break, and there are more surf spots between the town and Apollo Bay, including Baldy Rock and Sawmills. Cathedral Rock, between Lorne and Aireys Inlet to the north, is also a popular surf spot. And the world-famous Bells Beach is a 40-minute drive up the coast near the town of Torquay.
