We stayed in an ocean view room which was well kept however probably 20 years old so a slight refurbishment is due. The balcony balustrades are made from brick with a metal railing on top which blocks the view when you sit down. Other nearby, more modern accommodation uses glass balustrades. The kids enjoyed the indoor heated pool instead of the beach on cool weather days. Don't forget to pack your iPod dock (rooms facilities include a CD player).

Great for a weekend but has all the amenities such as pool, tennis courts and bbq areas for longer stays. The owner is really lovely and keeps her office open all day if you'd like to grab a vhs (yep, but you also have a dvd player in your loft as well) or some birdseed to feed the friendly cockatoos and parakeets that will visit your patio. It's charming, private and you can hear the roar of the ocean at night. Magical!

The Sorrento Hotel is certainly a pretty big pub.

Well, I certainly can't argue with that, particularly since the two times that I have been here for a beer I have been pretty impressed. There are a number of bars here, including a couple of decent outdoor and roof deck bars. Oh, and there are decent number of craft beers on tap as well.

We will be back soon to enjoy your hotel once again!

Basically everything is provided in kitchenette and you can prepare it in morning. Includes free-range eggs. location is not bad either.

Lorne, just down the Great Ocean Road from Cumberland River, gets a hell of a lot of attention…read moregiven its awesome location and scenery. But I am sure it also packs out in peak season and for that reason, I recommend travelling a little further to arrive at Cumberland River Holiday Park. The park is situated on a rare bit of flat ground along the mountainous coastal drive, situated next to a beautiful running river and impressive cliffs overhead. Other than the park goers there are no other neighbours apart from the wildlife that inhabits the river, the forest and the ocean. We were greeted by lovely management and as it was the middle of winter we rented a cabin rather than rolling out the swag. The cabin was clean, simple yet functional. There is a gas log fire indoors, an outdoor fire pit and good cooking and bathroom facilities. Due to the remote location, electricity is limited and there was only one powerpoint in the cabin. Definitely stop in here for a few nights to take in majestic scenery, stunning river walks and breathtaking ocean views.

Located a short stroll from the CBD and the promenade, the apartments are exceptional value for money.
