Lorne Accommodation

It is for good reason that Lorne is known as Victoria's premier tourist resort. It is perhaps the most beautiful and the most protected bay along the entire Great Ocean Road. The township of Lorne is surrounded by the Great Otway National Park which in the close vicinity is home to quite a few spectacular waterfalls, including Lorne's most famous - Erskine Falls. This hinterland area of Lorne has some great walks and is home to a host of wildlife including a healthy, resident population of koalas. What makes Lorne different to many other coastal towns is that not only does it have a fantastic beach and main street, with shops, cafes and restaurants, but the fact that it has a temperate rainforest, waterfalls, rivers and walking tracks, which all run down to the sea at Lorne. Day trippers and people who don't know Lorne often don't realise this and as a result may book for only one night or decide to just pass through. Lorne really does deserve a stay of at least two nights. The beach at Lorne has appeal to a wide clientelle. Fishermen, swimmers, windsurfers and surfers alike all relish in what this secluded bay can offer. Families love Lorne because it is so safe for children. Not only is it patrolled in summer but it is a shallow beach and the surf is not treacherous like it is on many other beaches along the Great Ocean Road. The foreshore is the centre for children's games and all beachside action. There's an adventure playground, trampolines, a swimming pool and a skate park. Wherever you are in Lorne and from wherever you are looking, the views are simply breathtaking, both of the coast and the hinterland. Lorne has so much to offer both for families and couples. It has loads of cafes and restaurants, some very sophisticated and some more family orientated and a wide variety of shops to cater to all tastes and budgets. The accommodation in Lorne can likewise cater to a diverse range of preferences; from backpackers and budget motel style accommodation to an eclectic range of bed and breakfasts offering I might add some absolutely sumptuous breakfasts, throught to apartments, holiday houses and resort accommodation such as the newly refurbished Mantra Erskine Beach Resort which is located right on the Lorne foreshore. Lorne Accommodation is of a very high quality and is plentiful but if you are planning to visit in any of the peak seasons, especially the Christmas holidays, then please book in advance or you may miss out. Lorne Accommodation: Hard to beat!
