Beautiful views
Lovely retro house with fantastic views. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge. Bedrooms very good sizes. Driveway difficult to find - can only be accessed via Deans-Marsh road, not on Smithers Street . Only suggestion is to have the house a little cleaner, especially the windows facing the view and the bathroom. Otherwise fantastic, we had a wonderful stay.

Great location, good value for money
We have stayed here for 10 days or so for the same time in January for the past 10 years. It's a great place to relax. It has plenty of space and most essentials. It's the perfect distance from town, a nice walk but not too close.

Execellent
I have booked the Retro Retreat for the same time for the past 9 years. It has a great view, lots of space and its retro feel is part of the charm. I'm not a five star hotel person, and the property has everything I and my family want or need (since adding a good BBQ about 6 years ago). I book it for a week over summer. It is old, and like most Lorne properties, about 300 meters up a hill. Overall, we love it. It has a great balcony, with a view across the bay and to the pier and there is generally plenty of cockatoos and kookaburras.

Beautiful ocean views
We enjoyed our stay at the Retro Retreat. It was spacious and the furnishings suited the period it intended which gave the place a homely atmosphere. The driveway was a little cumbersome and difficult to find in the beginning. Overall, we had a comfortable stay with a lovely view of the ocean from our bedroom window and balcony.

Cool house
This was a really cool house. It had heaps of space for everyone and even though it's older we loved the retro feel.
