Summary: Down for marathon weekend with family groups. Place is great with a beautiful view and very clean. Communication clear and easy.

Lorraine S. Dec 27, 2024 03:00:28 PM

Summary: A comfortable house for 9 family members. Location is excellent and accessible to pier, walks to beach (15mins) and with breathtaking views (apart from house newly built in front!). Room for all the family and outdoor deck appreciated. House is well equipped (especially the kitchen) with heating, fans and cooling. We appreciated the table tennis in the garage.

Debra W. Oct 3, 2024 05:00:22 PM

Summary: For over 20 years, myself & 2 mums have taken our 7 children (& now 1 grand children) away. Lorne was a great spot, with the house accomodating everyone. Plenty of beds, great viewing deck, walking distance to beach, pier & street. The house was clean & fully equipped, you just need to turn up. We were even fortunate to have dolphins riding the waves in our last day. Steve was easy & pleasant to deal with - would definitely rebook.
