Recent Reviews in Skenes Creek

Mantra Lorne

10/10 Excellent

"Just amazing location and close to everything . Wanted to stay longer."

Seaview Motel and Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Very close walk to town. Room had everything we needed, comfortable soft beds. Even had a sofa bed for second child. Small outdoor seating area which is useful when shwirmg rooms with kids. Unfortunately it was freezing cold so couldn't enjoy it too much."

Apollo Bay Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent

"Overall, we had a good stay and the accommodation itself was very good. The property was comfortable and met our needs. However, the customer service and communication were quite poor. The instructions for collecting the keys were not clear enough, and we were genuinely worried that if we arrived after 6 pm, we might not be able to get the keys and access the property. This caused unnecessary stress, especially when travelling and arriving later in the day. Apart from the communication and check-in arrangements, everything else was good. We would just recommend improving the communication and providing clearer instructions for guests arriving after hours."

Apollo Bay Waterfront Motor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Établissement familial propre accueillant et fort bien entretenu. Notre coup de cœur dans la région"

Apollo Bay Motel and Apartments

Seafarers Getaway

10/10 Excellent

"We highly recommend this hotel as it has beautiful views of the ocean, serene surroundings, and cute alpacas. The hotel staff was kind and helpful with restaurant suggestions."

Beacon Point Ocean View Villas

10/10 Excellent

"The property was fantastic and had everything we needed for a peaceful and private overnight stay. The setting and views were incredible with sweeping coastal vistas. Amenities were very good, with a comfy bed. Some smaller cut firewood would be my only suggestion. We would have loved to spend longer there!"

Cumberland Lorne Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay in Lorne. Super convenient to everything in town, rooms were nice and great facilities with the indoor pool"
