We had such a wonderful time @ Waverley Retreat. It is incredibly well catered for, even for our two pooches, who were quite content in the enormous decked entertaining space. There are so many things to love about this place; it is spacious, plenty of room for everyone (and guests); upstairs and downstairs separate living rooms were perfect. The kitchen was excellent and incredibly well stocked with bits n pieces. A fabulous Webber BBQ and the best part, was the huge outdoor decked space. Really lovely to have a BBQ, relax and enjoy the sounds of the birds and the distant sound of the crashing waves and chill out with our mates. The views are partial, but that didn't matter, because everything else was beautiful. The location is brilliant, just down the bottom of the road and you are at the foodworks supermarket, then straight into Loren central. There are some comments on here about the road being steep - yes it is - but it is a fairly typical hillside street in beautiful Lorne, certainly nothing to worry about. We will be back!! Also want to make mention of Great Ocean Road Holiday Rentals people - they are first class and offer a level of service that is second to none. We were even offered a late 2pm checkout, which was a deight.

Best kitchen we have ever stayed in on a holiday. Kids LOVED the swing and the deck was great (shame we went on a cold, rainy weekend and had to stay inside). Kids want to go back so we will probably book this house again in the future. Thank you! ##### Lisa C.

Handy location to shops and beach. As other reviewers have said, be mindful of the steep hill. You need to be fit if you intend to walk it. Large enclosed wooden deck for dogs, but they will need supervision on the unfenced grassy slope at the back. ##### Glen M. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Anna M. 11 Feb 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Short family trip with doggos Good neat little place - even if the super steep hill was tricky with the dogs at times. The properly isn’t new and modern but fully equipped and cozy. Great large rear private deck and front area is an added bonus as it’s all fully fenced so perfect for the dogs to run around on. Wi Finwould be good but not crucial - with the only AC unit up STI imagine the downstairs bedroom and lounge area might get pretty warm in the summer. All in all though great place and great value for money. We’ll be back for sure ##### Anna M.

The location was great. Short drive to the beach and town centre. Great outdoor area and the dogs loved it. ##### Trisha Y. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Marcus C. 30 Nov 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### AMAZING VIEW, quiet getaway! This location and setting was perfect for escaping the city and looking out over Lornes main beach. The house could sleep lots of people but I think would quickly become crowded if every bed was taken. Great for spotting wild life and getting away from the noise. We enjoyed walking up the super steep hill after our evening meal to work off our dinner. Warning that hill is not for the faint hearted. This dog says dog friendly but there is only a fenced decking area and no fenced grassy area. Overall 4/5 ##### Marcus C.

Neat and tidy with plenty of cutlery and crockery, towels and extra blankets. The tree swing was a big hit with the kids (and adults) and we loved that we could bring our dog with us. The one thing is really needed at the house is some sort of child safety gate at the top of the stairs. The staircase is quite steep and very close to bathroom/bedrooms, so you definitely need to be vigilant with small children. Overall we had a fantastic time and will definitely stay again in the future. ##### Melissa D.

The outdoor deck is brilliant as is the well appointed kitchen. We really enjoyed the well appointed property and were very appreciative of the timely communication in the lead up and throughout our stay. The kitchen facilities, downstairs retreat and outdoor decking were sensational spaces. We loved the little treats we received on arrival. That was super thoughtful. We also wanted to acknowledge the special arrangements made to compensate for the issues that arose at the premises prior to our arrival. We were very appreciative of this gesture. Thank you sincerely! ##### PamY This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Simon 21 Dec 2018 #### Nice house in Lorne, close to beach Cozy environment and nice place, on top of a hill.

This house was clean, well stocked kitchen, set amongst the trees and had two living areas so was great for kids. The DVD selection for the kids was helpful too. The only downside was the huge hill. Was great for exercise but a bit hard lugging beach stuff up and down. Apart from that (which is truly not even that bad just takes more effort) was great house and great stay! ##### Sally This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer 18 Mar 2018 #### Beautiful spot!

It was spotless and we did our best to leave it that way when we left. Our dog could wander in and out of the house without being able to get away (she likes to explore). The kids and their friends (all teens) could walk to the beach near the swingbridge in a few minutes any time they liked - and did so all the time. They had their rooms and bathroom upstairs, we had our bedroom and own bathroom downstairs. If we wanted we could have used the 2 different living zones but we all get on well and generally shared. There are plenty of spots for a few cars, there were two different areas on the verandah so we could enjoy sunrise and sunset in comfort and still see the beach to determine if there were waves. The kitchen had everything we wanted, the Miele dishwasher was SO helpful, and having a washing machine and dryer meant we could do everything we needed inhouse. Back to the kitchen - PLENTY of cutlery and crockery, plenty of storage space and a great Weber BBQ out the back. If you want ritzy, high gloss accommodation, look elsewhere. If you want warmth, comfort and a home feel, Waverley retreat is it. We have been going to Lorne for Summer for many years and the wonderful folks at GORH Lorne really are friendly and helpful. They helped us find Waverley Retreat which we heartily recommend to any group, family or not, looking for a great holiday experience. Our thanks to the owners for leaving the house spotless for when we arrived and thoughtfully decked out in the kitchen. ##### JohnMcC This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### anniej 4 Feb 2016 #### Real beach house Very comfortable Super very well equipped kitchen Outside deck area great birds, views BBQ Lovely Inside clean but needed new towels and linen Leaf litter ,gutters, overhanging branches need attention was scary in January Amazing trapeze swing loved by kids Road too steep to walk with tiny kids or very unfit ##### anniej This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Brad W., Melbourne, Victoria, Australia 31 Oct 2015 #### House fine, walk up extremely steep hill NOT! We did enjoy our stay at Waverly retreat. The House was comfortable and clean and as the description on Stayz says, it is a relatively short walk to the shops/beach etc BUT be warned, if you have small kids (under 5) and grandparents staying with you as we did, the property is situated about 300m up one of the steepest roads have ever encounted. This should really be mentioned in the property description as we had to take the car out every time we wanted to leave the house, which wasn't ideal and did detract from our stay/experience a bit. Other than that though, everything else was fine ##### Brad W. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Fairmont-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h522363.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Hunter Valley Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pokolbin-Hotels-Mercure-Resort-Hunter-Valley-Gardens.h1877968.Hotel-Information) > > [Mandalay Luxury Beachfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Mandalay-Luxury-Beachfront-Apartments.h2648804.Hotel-Information) > > [By The Sea Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-By-The-Sea-Port-Douglas.h3024406.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritage Trail Lodge Margaret River](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margaret-River-Hotels-Heritage-Trail-Lodge-Margaret-River.h9624427.Hotel-Information) > > [Rochester Riverside Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Rochester-Riverside-Caravan-Park.h65341713.Hotel-Information) > > [Lilianfels Resort & Spa - Blue Mountains](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Lilianfels-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h872.Hotel-Information) > > [Torquay Foreshore Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Torquay-Foreshore-Caravan-Park.h6001296.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Airlie-Beach.h2802992.Hotel-Information) > > [Disney Hotel Cheyenne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Disneys-Hotel-Cheyenne.h1102906.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lost Camel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yulara-Hotels-The-Lost-Camel.h4805954.Hotel-Information) > > [Ozone Hotel Kangaroo Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kingscote-Hotels-Aurora-Ozone-Hotel.h2737459.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandy's Paradise Infinity](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Sandys-Paradise-Resort.h25184627.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Mirage-Resort.h8065.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Palmanova](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palmanova-Calvia-Hotels.0-n6050487-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Wyndham Resort Torquay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Wyndham-Resort-Torquay.h1927122.Hotel-Information) > > [Bannisters Port Stephens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soldiers-Point-Hotels-Bannisters-Port-Stephens.h27355893.Hotel-Information) > > [Exmouth Escape Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exmouth-Hotels-Exmouth-Escape-Resort.h4032424.Hotel-Information) > > [Glamping at Truffle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gretna-Hotels-Truffle-Lodge.h22239606.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [The Carrington Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Carrington-Hotel.h474003.Hotel-Information) > > [Kangaroo Island Wilderness Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Karatta-Hotels-Kangaroo-Island-Wilderness-Retreat.h2041654.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Sea Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Coral-Sea-Marina-Resort.h1047180.Hotel-Information) > > [Heron Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heron-Island-Hotels-Heron-Island-Resort.h1636471.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Ningaloo Reef Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coral-Bay-Hotels-Ningaloo-Reef-Resort.h4257765.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Mia-Hotels-RAC-Monkey-Mia-Dolphin-Resort.h2650828.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Southampton (SOU) to Manchester (MAN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/sou/man/southampton-to-manchester) ### Packages > [Costa Smeralda Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Costa-Smeralda.d6049197.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Menorca Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Menorca.d2201.Holidays-City-Breaks)
