For an unforgettable holiday, book in a night or two at one of the best luxury accommodation Lorne has to offer.
Is there anything better than a coastal escape?
With its popular surf beaches, magnificent waterfalls and vibrant food and arts scene, Lorne has been attracting holidaymakers and seachangers for over a century. Every day is different, whether you’re exploring the ancient forests of Great Otway or wandering through thought-provoking art galleries. Make your trip extra special with a stay at one of these stunning Lorne luxury accommodation options.
Cathedral Rock Lookout
Perched above the Great Ocean Road with sweeping ocean views, this art-filled coastal sanctuary is made for those who crave both adventure and indulgence. Three levels of effortless comfort await—savour sea breezes from expansive decks, sink into the outdoor tub under the stars, and let the wood-burning fire set the mood. Hike straight from your doorstep, wander to Cathedral Rock’s surf break, or roll into Lorne in minutes. Pet-friendly, beautifully designed, and unapologetically laidback—this is how you do the coast right.

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. Five minutes from Lorne yet worlds away, it’s a place for deep rest, good wine, and the quiet magic of nature—just as it should be.

The Charred House
Perched 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.

Minimalist. Secluded. Impossibly scenic. The Cabin is a Nordic-inspired hideaway with sweeping ocean views and a moody, magazine-worthy aesthetic.
