holiday with a view

We can fir 3 nights and woke each morning to a stunning beautiful sight of the ocean. Walked 5 min to the beach where our Whippet “Boy” had a great time running and playing fetch. We met so many nice people who like us came to relax in Lorne.

Great place in a fantastic spot

We had a great stay here - the house had everything our family of four needed, was clean and neat, and the location is so good - the sunrises from the lounge and main bedroom alone are worth it! Will definitely be back.

Short getaway

This appartment is close to the beach and shops. It has a good kitchen and bathroom, however it is an older property and has a very musty smell going up the stairs. Good value for money though.

Easy holiday Unit

Had a great time in Lorne over the weekend, Nice clean and comfortable accommodation very close to the main part of lorne beach and shopping. Was great that it was pet friendly as it meant we could bring little MOMO along who loved the dog friendly beaches of lorne. Thanks for a great weekend

Excellent location, perfect for us

We stayed here for a long weekend and it was exactly what we needed - excellent location, spacious, warm and comfty beds. We also brought our dog and the courtyard was perfect for her. The new kitchen and bathroom are ideal and the balcony and main bedroom catch the brilliant sunrise. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Summer Holiday

Bayview 2 was great. The location was fanastic, very central and being the busiest time of year it was great to leave the car behind and walk everywhere. Most of all we loved that we could bring our dog along with us. Unit was clean and comfortable.

4/10 Poor

Unclean & musty apartment with great location

A bit average. 1st time in the place it stunk and was covered in dog fur. Spoke to the agent at Great ocean and he sent in the cleaner. Unfortunately this did little as it needs a steam clean so we had to put up with the smell and dog fur for the next 4 days. Place is really quite tired and a lot of things are either broken or not working. Also it just lacks a lot of the touches that makes a place special when you head on holiday. In saying that the location is fantastic and the bbq is a good little webber. Unfortunately the state of the place over-rode this and overall this spot was below average.
Response from VrboOwner on 6 Mar, 2020
Sorry to hear of your experience. The apartment is a pet friendly, snd we were able to provide immediate additional cleaning. We are very pleased to announce that a new kitchen and bathroom were installed in October 2016 and we think that it looks great! GORH

Great location!

We stayed here for a week, the location is fabulous. Short 1minute walk to shops and beach with views of the ocean from the main bedroom and lounge. Clean and comfortable. Kids loved the pool table and hookey board!
