Make your trip extra special with a stay at one of Lorne’s stunning luxury accommodation options.
Sea Ranch
Sea Ranch in Wye River is a showstopper holiday home carved into coastline and sky. Four bedrooms, two living areas, floor-to-ceiling glass and decks that look out over Sturt Point to Kennett River — it’s ocean views by day, stars in the ensuite by night. Just 50 metres above the sea, the house hums with light, design and wild-coastal energy. The kitchen chefs would envy, the living areas invite unhurried moments, and the proximity to beach, bushwalks and café keeps you tethered to the best of the Great Ocean Road.

Cathedral Rock Lookout
High above the Great Ocean Road, this art-filled sanctuary proves you really can have it all — adventure, indulgence and a sea view to match. Three levels of coastal cool deliver decks made for breezy aperitifs, an outdoor tub begging for a starry soak, and a wood fire with serious mood-setting powers. Step out to hiking trails, paddle out at Cathedral Rock, or zip into Lorne in minutes. Pet-friendly, design-savvy and gloriously laidback — coastal living doesn’t get sharper than this.

Blackwood
Deep in the Otways, Blackwood is a one-bedroom hideaway where the forest hums and time slows. A mezzanine bedroom offers a serene escape, while the wood fire crackles below. Sip coffee on the deck as morning mist drifts through the trees, or fire up the BBQ after a day chasing waterfalls. Just five minutes from Lorne, it invites deep rest, good wine, and the quiet magic of nature — exactly as it should be.

The Charred House
Set on the banks of the Erskine River, The Charred House is all about sleek, understated luxury. Designed with a modernist edge, it’s a striking yet supremely comfortable hideaway for up to six guests. Expect sprawling open-plan spaces, designer furnishings, and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame Lorne’s lush coastal bushland. The best part? You’re only a stone’s throw from the beach, but tucked away just enough to feel worlds away.

Surf Haven
Kick off your shoes and sink into the plush, oversized sofa — the essence of Surf Haven is pure relaxation. Here, your days are dictated by the sun: sip your morning coffee on the deck, watch king parrots flit through the trees, and toast the evening with a glass of local wine as the ocean hums in the distance. This eco-conscious sanctuary is as stylish as it is serene, with warm timber tones, expansive windows, and a master suite that feels like a hidden treetop retreat.

La Perouse
Think Côte d’Azur without the long-haul flight. La Perouse brings Parisian polish to Lorne, complete with Aesop in the bathroom, linen robes for lounging, and organic breakfasts best taken on a sunlit terrace. Ocean views spill from every room, verandahs call for a glass in hand, and a kitchen garden plus petite library seal the deal. Boutique luxury, but with salt air in its hair.

Ocean House
Few homes make a statement quite like Ocean House. Designed by Rob Mills Architecture and featured in Vogue Living and Elle, this five-bedroom masterpiece is a study in contemporary coastal luxury. Circular bedrooms, a glass-walled pavilion, and an outdoor lookout that feels suspended in the trees — every inch of this space is designed to elevate your stay. Just 100 metres from North Lorne’s secluded beach, it’s as close to barefoot luxury accommodation in Lorne as you can get.

The Wensley
If seclusion is the brief, The Wensley answers with style. Set on 80 acres in the Otway Hinterland, this striking timber-clad retreat fuses eco-minded design with rugged elegance. Drawing inspiration from Australian shearing sheds and American ski chalets, it’s a place where mornings begin with mist drifting over the hills and nights end by the fire’s gentle crackle — an escape that feels both elemental and exquisitely considered.

The Cabin
Minimalist. Secluded. Impossibly scenic. The Cabin is a Nordic-inspired hideaway with sweeping ocean views and a moody, magazine-worthy aesthetic. Floor-to-ceiling windows invite the outside in, while the surrounding farm garden overflows with herbs, fruits, and flowers. Whether you’re curled up inside or exploring the nearby Otways, this is slow living at its most luxurious.
