Charming hotel in a great location along the Great Ocean Road.
Pros:

The location of the hotel is fabulous and is within easy walking distance to the beach, restaurants and shops. The check in staff were friendly and helpful and dinner at Totti’s was a highlight. The hotel, while old, has been updated and some of the original features are charming.

Cons:

The wi-fi in room 9 did not work.

Perfect stay
Pros:

We had a family function at the Lorne hotel and many family members decided to also stay there. It is a charming old hotel with spectacular views of the beach and ocean. Rooms are very comfortable, modern and clean. The hotel has wonderful meals with a great outdoor deck area overlooking the beach.
