The Chapel

Guests love The Chapel for its unique treehouse-meets-chapel design nestled among eucalypts, with sweeping bush views, abundant birdlife and the chance to spot koalas. It is peaceful, private and romantic, yet only a short drive to Lorne. Reviewers highlight the bright bay windows and cosy daybed, plus a well set up kitchen with everything needed to cook proper meals. Little touches stand out too, like organic breakfast provisions, a welcome basket with bread, jam and wine, a large DVD collection, flat screen TV, radio and magazines. Many describe it as a gorgeous, comfortable couples retreat and a favourite spot in Lorne.

Several reviewers mentioned Annie and Ian for being warm, helpful and unobtrusive, from offering a late checkout to dropping off the newspaper and even giving a lift to a hiking start point. Overall, it is a beautiful, self-contained two-storey stay with privacy, nature on the doorstep and thoughtful amenities that make it easy to relax and linger.
