Find the Cheap Lorne Hotels

Not good and not recommended. The whole property is very rundown and in urgent need of refurbishment. Complete painting, upgrading bathrooms, toilet and general presentation. Finishes are old shabby and grubby. The sunken shower in a spa is difficult to access for some and is slippery. To reach the toiletries you are required to walk across a slippery and sloped base to use. This shower aspect should be highlighted to every guest when the booking is being made. Almost impossible to enter and exit the shower safely. In fact it is very dangerous despite a handle to hold on the wall. These showers should be removed without any delay and replaced with walk in showers. Completely unacceptable. Window in bedroom faces walkway from lift and from stairs. It is noisy, hearing people walking, talking and slamming doors. The window allows light into the bedroom all night and if the blind is up, it is easy to see into the room from outside. Requires replacement window covering such as a shutter to prevent light and allow some privacy. Lift was filthy and floor covering requires replacement. For the cost of well over $400 per night in the off season, the room did not provide the room facilities that is expected for such a high tariff. Certainly not even 4 star. 3 star in our opinion. The balcony is dirty and uninviting. Not the place to sit and admire the view of the beach. Furniture requires replacement with such more in line with price expectation of the owners. It is time management sat up and took notice.

We went in on off-chance and had a choice of rooms. We chose to go for the sea view ‘Executive’ room on 1st floor to front of building with a balcony. Great bed, lovely warm room (one I worked out that AC was also a heater), tea/coffee making facility inc. milk in the fridge, heating lights in the bathroom. There was even a walk-in wardrobe area! Didn’t take a photo inside the room but did take a couple of the view. A little gem of a place in Lorne. So glad we found it.

Living in the RV, don’t have a flavor, the road is very convenient for the supermarket.

Terry and the team at the Anchorage are welcoming. The Motel is spotless clean and the rooms are brilliant too. Location is perfect for the foreshore and close to all the local shops, etc. We had a studio, bright and decorated clean, with a microwave and tea making / fridge. On site pool if you want one. Free parking. Support a local business. A fantastic one-night stay. Thank you (Liam & Jon), woof, to Ziggy!

It is a place to live casually, it is relatively clean, and the bed is too soft. Next door is a RV camp. The supermarket is right next to it, and various dining options are not far away. It's so average, if you don't pay attention, you can make up for one night.

Feelings: The hotel is in the forest 5 minutes drive from the town of Lorne. We saw wild kangaroos, cockatoos and eagle here. In terms of safety, the hotel has more than a dozen independent houses, and the popularity is high. The old couple of the hotel owner live in the house in the center of the hotel, so the friends in the city quickly bring the children to feel it. The wild kangaroo looked great and powerful, and the zoo was much better.

The draw card here is the location. On the beach, beautiful. We made a booking for an ocean view room, when we arrived our room had been given to someone else at the error of junior staff. We ended up with a partial ocean view room. The staff handled the situation best they could and provided us with a complimentary bottle of wine which was appreciated. Despite the excellent location, the room was very worn out but clean. The bathtub enamel was coming off in patches which was a little gross to put your feet on. You can see by the beautiful landscape and design of the original hotel that, in its heyday, it would have been the height of luxury. Overall, we were disappointed by the rooms but thrilled with the location. There is a lot of potential here but the pricing doesn't reflect the standard of the rooms at this stage.

Sanitation is actually okay. Is that there are so many small flying insects, especially when a light is turned on, all swarm. I hope the store can improve the indoor environment! What is more unique is that each room is a theme room in a different country. Very innovative!

VERY happily, I found Sunnymead by accident when my car broke down near Geelong on the way to the Great Ocean Road; so it was an unplanned stay. I limped into Airey's Inlet with the car spluttering, lucky to get that far, phoning around for accommodation. While my car was being fixed by Mark (Malibu Automotive, Anglesea, highly recommended if you need), I stayed in one of the beautifully appointed, newly renovated Sunnymead King rooms (#16) for 3 nights, 20/09/23 to 23/09/23 . I cannot speak highly enough of Sunnymead. Seriously. ”Excellent”/”outstanding” are inadequate descriptions and I have stayed in manyMANY Motels in S.A./Victoria/Queensland and NSW (I live in Adelaide, and drive at least 30,000Kms/year on biz). Sunnymead is exceptional! If you are holidaying in the region, do not pass GO, do not stay anywhere else (please note: I do not know the owners or have shares in the Business). Both Justin and Belinda at Reception are very likable, great communicators who do an excellent job. Polite and professional, warm and cheerful but without being obsequious, Justin and Belinda added a lovely human touch to the business of checking-in and meeting any requests I had (and I can be fussy about fine details). Thanks also to the ever-cheerful Kenny who went about his housekeeping duties with infectiously bright energy. Top bloke. Kudos to the HR person (owners?) who hired them. They're an asset to your business! But you know that, right? ;-) The grounds/garden/parking --- just great. I had a water feature outside my room at the bottom (pond) end of which were a couple of goldfish. The sound of the water trickling was very soothing. Some Motels have rooms which are oppressively colourless, grey, grimy and somewhat claustrophobic, with globes that barely light the room (if they work at all). My Sunnymead room was spacious, bright, modern and scrupulously clean with several additional touches eg Nespresso machine with pods, Turmeric and English Breakfast teas, freeze-dried instant coffee + sugar/milk. The 'King' bed (fluffy quilt on top) was actually two singles pushed together but the centre 'ridge' was well-covered by a comfy mattress topper. The firm mattress was completely to my liking but I can see that some people might not like the firmness and unusually large pillows (I travel with my own pillow; the years have taught me that Motel pillows can be hit-or-miss). The bathroom was lovely --- I'd say 'elegant' --- spotlessly clean and vastly better than many other Motels which seem to settle for grotty, sadly. The shower amenities are of very good quality. The taps took some working out but, mea culpa, I am of the separate hot-and-cold taps Generation (a Boomer). Sunnymead is on a busy road, but the sloping driveway means that traffic noise seems to go over the rooms and I was very happy about how quiet it was. A definite positive, compared to some Motels where traffic noise feels like the room is on a median ***** and passing trucks
