Based here for 2 nights as part of G.O.R trip. Despite delayed arrival, everything was ready to go when we arrived. Owners are very nice, always available and will happily help with any reasonable request. Close to town - had a car so didn't have to face the walk up the hill but wouldn't imagine it to be too strenuous.... more

We stayed here for a weekend away in October. Very easy to get to from melbourne even with Fri night traffic - it took 2 hours in total. We stayed in the luxury apartment which was simply fantastic. The spa was huge and very relaxing, the kitchen has everything you need, the tv was also huge and the bed v... more

My wife and I had planned to stay for just the one night at Chatby Lane as we passed through Lorne, but stayed for two as we liked the accomodation and the town very much. There was no problem booking just the one night if we had wished. We had the downstairs room near reception, as all the apartments were... more

Beautiful rooms, knowledgable and friendly hosts, great view and NO KIDS!!! We spent 2 nights and saw alot of the great ocean road - but could easily have just stayed in our room and enjoyed the view, ambience and jacuzzi for much longer! Friendly cockatoos welcome you to the day by visiting breakfast on the balcony (have some sliced apples... more

My girlfriend and I booked here for Xmas eve and day, unfortunately I had to come back to QLD the week prior and I encouraged my girlfriend to continue on with the road trip and to spend Xmas at the apartments. Obviously this was not ideal, however after talking to Karen at Chatby Lane, I was assured that my girlfriend... more

Looking for a place in Lorne to spend our 10th wedding anniversary weekend, I was attracted to Chatby Lane Apartments both by the photos of the lovely rooms on wotif.com.au and the description as "couples only" (ie, no loud kids or parties of teenagers!). What really sold me was speaking to owner-manager Doug on the phone: he sounded warm, friendly,... more

We were welcomed to Lorne for our winter break by the genuine young couple who manage Chatby Lane. They went out of their way to make us comfortable and aware of the facilities Lorne has to offer. The apartment was clean and well set up with ocean views while nestled in a leafy environment. The kitchen allowed us the option... more

I loved the setting, having some gum trees around with the cocky's flying about. I made the effort to walk down to the beach for sunrise- it was only fives minutes till I was at Lornes iconic wooden bridge and onto the beach. The service was friendly and I felt very welcome here. A great place to chill out. more

Just returned from a trip driving solo down the Great Ocean Road and really enjoyed my stay at Lorne - some people only write a review when they're not happy, but I had no complaints with Chatby Lane. When traveling alone I don’t like busy hotels with lots of families, so Chatby's private apartments fit the bill perfectly. The owners... more
