Lorne Bay View Motel

What a great person the owner of this place is! We came here because we made a wrong booking in another appartment. The manager there referred us to Bay View. We could rent for the same price as the other appartment. After checking in, he really took a lot of time to give us information about places to visit and about the best places to eat. The restaurant we went to, was really excellent! The appartment was clean spacious, and comfortable! Wish we had more days to spend there!

I booked this hotel when the one I usually stay at in Lorne was booked out. I was pleasantly surprised. Large spacious rooms, comfortable beds, plenty of well positioned power points, decent sized fridge and clean modern bathroom. It was also very convenient. Just a stone’s throw from the beach. I was unaware checkin closed at 5pm so when I arrived at 5.30pm was relieved and grateful to find the pleasant and friendly hotel receptionist had waited for me. Would highly recommend.

I went to Lorne Bay View Motel with my husband and 8 months old baby for three days just after Victorian queens Birthday in June and had an excellent time spent in there. The place exceeded our expectation and made such a perfect little trip for the three of us. We researched alot before going to this place . Especially went through lot of reviews. This Adam at reception, whome everyone was praising in their reviews was definitely a wonderful person. And he really deserve that praise. Initially we selected a ground floor Unit, but he upgraded us free of charge to a Unit which has a Corner Spa and spectacular views of the Lorne Bay(room 104). Also gave us late check out as it was not crouded. He recommended us where we could go to make the maximum during our stay with our little man. Erskine falls was my favorite (and yes the 8 months old, made it to the second look out in a baby carrier). Adam was really a great person and would do his best to accomadate requests and help you in best possible way. The Spa came really handy for me and my little baby as i was stucked in the room on the third day as it was raining. Room was really clean and tidy (furniture looked new) and had a very comfy queen size bed. The foldable sofa bed was really useful, and we use that as a cot for the baby :-) The kitchenette also was good enough to do basic food preparation for us/baby and the overall Unit size was quiet good for the price. We had a bunch of beautiful Cockatoos visit on the balcony too. The place is at an ideal location(in a hilly area), you can walk to the beach and the shops in few minutes. Almost all restaurants offer great food in varying prices. But its definitely worth trying few different dishes from around. Overall, we were very satisfied about this place and we cant recommend this place enough without any hesitation. We will be going back there for sure. Very grateful and special thanks goes to Adam for being so kind and assisting us in every way to make our trip so memorable and satisfied!

The room was clean and had a lovely slightly obstructed view of the ocean. Was a little noisy over the weekend from the pub but that was all quiet by 11.

For older people there are stairs and on Saturday nights the pub next door played loud music until 12. The walk is 5 mins to shops but the hill is steep. The rooms are beautiful, clean and spacious. Balcony or outdoor area for pleasant days.

First, the fact that when I booked the room it had a view but when the room keys were handed over it was a very ordinary room with no view of the bay was very disappointing. Second, at the time of booking it was not advised to me that there is a pub next door and that it will be playing live music at full blast till 11pm. This has been a very disappointing experience for us all. I contacted wotif team on Monday the 25th complaining about this and so far no one has come back to me.

Great view of the ocean. Super fresh, clean, and comfortable room. Friendly and helpful manager. Was contacted soon after our departure about an item left in our room. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed in a balcony 2x double/queen room. It was clean and large for myself and 2 small children. Small milk on the fridge to start off the trip. Toaster, kettle, microwave and small stove top. We didn’t use these at all. With small children, I was assume due to fire regulations, the doors aren’t locked in the inside. So my young child (4 & 5) were able to open whilst I was in the bathroom etc. just to be mindful, this also included the balcony. I didn’t have much to do with the staff as I arrived late and left on a Sunday. We had plenty of towels etc. very close to the beach, and cafe/bakeries for easy access to food. Watch the cockatoos, they are bullies, and took food out of the hands of the children. Otherwise an overall pleasant experience. Would recommend
