Lorne Hotels with Balcony

The draw card here is the location. On the beach, beautiful. We made a booking for an ocean view room, when we arrived our room had been given to someone else at the error of junior staff. We ended up with a partial ocean view room. The staff handled the situation best they could and provided us with a complimentary bottle of wine which was appreciated. Despite the excellent location, the room was very worn out but clean. The bathtub enamel was coming off in patches which was a little gross to put your feet on. You can see by the beautiful landscape and design of the original hotel that, in its heyday, it would have been the height of luxury. Overall, we were disappointed by the rooms but thrilled with the location. There is a lot of potential here but the pricing doesn't reflect the standard of the rooms at this stage.

Perfect spot with great amenities, very comfortable and enjoyable stay with a 3.5year old. Trampoline park is a win for the kids. Room was very clean, modern TV with all the streaming services for when the weather was bad and needed an indoor night. Walking distance to plenty of great coffee / food options. Staying again soon.

Feelings: The hotel is in the forest 5 minutes drive from the town of Lorne. We saw wild kangaroos, cockatoos and eagle here. In terms of safety, the hotel has more than a dozen independent houses, and the popularity is high. The old couple of the hotel owner live in the house in the center of the hotel, so the friends in the city quickly bring the children to feel it. The wild kangaroo looked great and powerful, and the zoo was much better.

Sanitation is actually okay. Is that there are so many small flying insects, especially when a light is turned on, all swarm. I hope the store can improve the indoor environment! What is more unique is that each room is a theme room in a different country. Very innovative!

Not good and not recommended. The whole property is very rundown and in urgent need of refurbishment. Complete painting, upgrading bathrooms, toilet and general presentation. Finishes are old shabby and grubby. The sunken shower in a spa is difficult to access for some and is slippery. To reach the toiletries you are required to walk across a slippery and sloped base to use. This shower aspect should be highlighted to every guest when the booking is being made. Almost impossible to enter and exit the shower safely. In fact it is very dangerous despite a handle to hold on the wall. These showers should be removed without any delay and replaced with walk in showers. Completely unacceptable. Window in bedroom faces walkway from lift and from stairs. It is noisy, hearing people walking, talking and slamming doors. The window allows light into the bedroom all night and if the blind is up, it is easy to see into the room from outside. Requires replacement window covering such as a shutter to prevent light and allow some privacy. Lift was filthy and floor covering requires replacement. For the cost of well over $400 per night in the off season, the room did not provide the room facilities that is expected for such a high tariff. Certainly not even 4 star. 3 star in our opinion. The balcony is dirty and uninviting. Not the place to sit and admire the view of the beach. Furniture requires replacement with such more in line with price expectation of the owners. It is time management sat up and took notice.

We went in on off-chance and had a choice of rooms. We chose to go for the sea view ‘Executive’ room on 1st floor to front of building with a balcony. Great bed, lovely warm room (one I worked out that AC was also a heater), tea/coffee making facility inc. milk in the fridge, heating lights in the bathroom. There was even a walk-in wardrobe area! Didn’t take a photo inside the room but did take a couple of the view. A little gem of a place in Lorne. So glad we found it.

Living in the RV, don’t have a flavor, the road is very convenient for the supermarket.

What a beautiful caravan park. Short walk to the river/ocean. Sites very spacious. Plenty of trees and it is really relaxing. The camp kitchen is amazing. Plenty of things for the kids to do. A couple of great playgrounds. Inside room for toddlers. One downside which has stopped us from staying longer…..the cost. Only stayed here for 2 nights. Other than the cost, I give it 5/5.

Terry and the team at the Anchorage are welcoming. The Motel is spotless clean and the rooms are brilliant too. Location is perfect for the foreshore and close to all the local shops, etc. We had a studio, bright and decorated clean, with a microwave and tea making / fridge. On site pool if you want one. Free parking. Support a local business. A fantastic one-night stay. Thank you (Liam & Jon), woof, to Ziggy!

My mother likes it very much, watching the sunrise and sunset are great, just my own balcony.
