Philip New Zealand

My partner and I had a WONDERFUL two night stay at Chatby Lane, Lorne. Karen is a lovely, amazing, friendly host, and while we arrived late from Melbourne, she was patient and made the effort to stay and show us around our large One bed Spa apartment. Their photos don't do it justice ! The apartment is spotless and VERY clean. We loved the shower and spa. Everything has been thought of, in terms of kitchen, laundry and bathroom amenities, and it was like home away from home. The view was superb, and the peace was bliss. Be prepared to be joined by local birds on the balcony ! There are walking tracks to town 15 - 30mins, however it is uphill on return- good for walking off the lunch or cocktails..! For us, it was perfect, and exactly what we needed to escape the city noise. We can't wait to return to Chatby Lane very soon. Thanks so much Karen and team !!

Two balconies, one with ocean view. Soft but supportive bed. Quiet and peaceful location, but can still hear the waves. Large tv. Private, not overlooked. Can walk to shops. Very clean and homely. Loved the visits of the birds. Staff very accomodating, allowing us to store bikes on the balcony.

I love Lorne & know you will too. I am passionate about making sure every guest finds what Lorne has to offer them. I love hearing restaurant reviews & about the walks & experiences guests have enjoyed to pass onto the next guests. I love meeting people from all around Australia & the world, but also love that Lorne is still a holiday destination for 'locals' who live along the Great Ocean Road.
Lorne offers a diverse range of adventures for all! There are many things to do in and around Lorne and the Great Ocean Road. If you love nature we have many waterfalls to visit and some great bush walks, all along the coast there are large numbers of koalas and other wildlife we can help you find. Many of the water falls are only a short trip by car, so if the weather doesn’t suit a long walk you still can visit them. There is a wide range of restaurants, cafes, bakeries and bars in Lorne to enjoy. Our restaurants are wonderful & there are so many to choose from. The region also has a number of wineries and local produce farms to visit. Maybe go for a meandering drive along the Otway Harvest Trail. Or stay in Lorne and visit the Lorne Visitors Centre who stock a range of wonderful local produce. If you’re feeling adventurous try the tree top walk or Zip Line at the Otway Fly or give surfing a go! For a round of golf, Lorne Country Club is just up the road from us; or relax with a facial or massage. And of course you can always laze the day away on the beach or simply relax in your room with a DVD or two. This is only a small selection of what Lorne has to offer.
