Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.
Lorne is a pleasant stopover on the Great Ocean Road. The Coachman's Lodge is at the eastern end, it's a bit out of the main part of town but an easy walk. The place is really a motel on three floors. The ground floor rooms are right on the car park. There is a space for BBQ at the end, but not large and taken over by one family when we were there. Otherwise nowhere to sit outside. The a/C was effective when I found out how to work it.
What a surprise Zahra Lodge was the perfect accommodation for our needs. There was definitely enough space for 6 adults and the facilities were top notch.
Great location a couple of km up the hill from Lorne town. Only the birds interrupt the quiet, and the stary sky is amazing. Cute setup in a safari tent on poles. Great mattresses. Great selection of tea! A bit to the chilly side despite an electric heater and electric blanket, bring your woolly clothes!
This is a wonderful place to stay just a few minutes out of Lorne. We stayed in the eco-lodge. It was quiet and well positioned overlooking the bush. Some friendly cockatoos and other birds kept us entertained. The tent was well contained and shower/bathroom simple but clean. We awoke early and enjoyed the kangaroos. We also spent some time in search of the yabby as well as playing on the volleyball court.
peaceful, cosy safari tent, the wildlife that greet you are adorable. Booking was easy, correspondence with owner was fabulous. Will definitely be back ☺️
