LORNE
Introduction
Set between the waters of
Loutit Bay and the cool Otway forests, Lorne has a charm that’s hard to
surpass. Add mild weather, a touch of the café culture, shops, boutiques
and galleries and it’s no wonder Lorne is one of the Great Ocean
Road’s most popular holiday destinations.
The town’s unique qualities were recognised early, with Lorne being the
first Victorian place to be declared an area of Special Significance and
Natural Beauty — and that was more than 100 years ago!
Lorne is the perfect place to stay while you explore further or just
relax.
Lorne is 140km south of Melbourne and is a 2 hour drive. Travel by car via
the Great Ocean Road. Daily coach services are available from Melbourne or
rail/coach services via Geelong.
