I give a quick review of my stay at the Mantra Lorne, the facilities and the room I stayed – the Resort Room with Ocean View. Lorne itself is a popular beach tourist resort town on the Great Ocean Road. It makes for a wonderful weekender getaway from Melbourne as it is only 2 hours’ drive.
The 6 best things to do in Lorne Victoria:
#6 Great Ocean Road Story – This museum showcases the story of the building of the Great Ocean Road. From 1919 to its opening in 1932. The exhibition is free and is located in the Lorne Visitor Centre.
#5 Cora Lynn Cascades (falls) a Beautiful waterfall just outside of Lorne in the Otway National Park. It’s a 4.2 km hike (roundtrip) from the carpark. A lovely walk to the falls that’s not too strenuous.
#4 Eskine Falls is one of the top tourist attractions in Lorne with 2 lookout points. A gorgeous 30m waterfall well worth the trip to see. One of the best waterfalls on the Great Ocean Road.
#3 Qdos Art Gallery. An impressive gallery of art as well as a café for a bite to eat.
#2 Teddy’s Lookout. For some beautiful views of the Great Ocean Road and the mouth of St George River - this viewing platform has some of the best views in Lorne.
#1 Lorne Beach. One of the most popular things in Lorne is the beach, a beautiful place to swim, stroll along, surf or just chill out.
The Mantra Lorne is a 4 or 4 ½ star resort in Lorne (depending on which website you look at)
With the beachfront location covering 12 acres and 277 rooms, it’s one of the largest resorts on the Great Ocean Road. Rooms come in resort rooms, studio, 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom apartments. Facilities include tennis court, bowling green, spa, gym, indoor lap pool, in-house restaurant which has a buffet breakfast. It’s only a short walk to the beach and the town of Lorne.
For prices or deals at the Mantra Lorne, have a look at their own website, they have a number of different packages including some with breakfast included. Also have a look at comparison booking sites such as TripAdvisor, Trivago and HotelsCombined. I used bookings.com on this particular stay.
The Mantra Lorne makes for either a romantic or family getaway from Melbourne. See my video for my full review of the resort. I really enjoyed Lorne, it’s a wonderful town along the Great Ocean Road.

Great Ocean Road & Lorne l Melbourne 2016
After a hard and long semester in Uni, we decided to take a short impromptu trip to Great Ocean Road & Lorne. Though it was not a spectacular place but the great company of close friends sure made up for it.
Great Ocean Road, Australia
The Great Ocean Road is a 243 km stretch of road along the south-eastern coast of Australia between the Victorian cities of Torquay and Warrnambool.It is one of Australia's great scenic coastline drives.The section near Port Campbell provides access by foot or helicopter to some of the most scenic coastline in the world, because of its striking and dramatic natural limestone and sandstone rock formations. These formations have been created by erosion from waves and rain and include Loch Ard Gorge, the Grotto, London Bridge (renamed to London Arch after the 'bridge' partly collapsed), and most famously the Twelve Apostles.
Twelve Apostoles and Waterfalls at Great Ocean Road
The spectacular Great Ocean Road winds alongside the wild and windswept Southern Ocean. Home to craggy cliffs, empty beaches and bountiful wildlife, there's an effortless affinity with nature along this iconic road. And with epic surf and unforgettable hikes, you'll find plenty of adventure around every corner.
The Great Ocean Road begins a 90-minute drive from Melbourne's city centre. It spans 400 kilometres (249 miles) from the town of Torquay to Nelson on the South Australian border.
Victoria's dramatic south-west coastline covers an incredible range of scenery. See the world-famous waves at Bells Beach or laze on the sand at Anglesea. Visit the charming old fishing village of Port Fairy and get among the buzzing arts community in Lorne. Of course, you can't miss the 12 Apostles. These craggy limestone stacks rising majestically from the Southern Ocean are a must-see. Join a scenic flight with 12 Apostles Helicopters to see the Bay of Islands, London Bridge or the entire Shipwreck Coast all the way to Australia's oldest lighthouse at Cape Otway.
Beauchamp Falls crashes over a ledge into a large pool just outside Beech Forest, this 20-metre waterfall rewards a somewhat strenuous walk. To get to the falls, take the walking path from the picnic area, located off the Aire Valley Road. The three-kilometre path is an hour's walk return, and requires reasonable fitness. The descent to the falls leads to a viewing platform (there is no access to the falls). The path back is steep and has steps that can be slippery when wet. Take care when walking in damp conditions.
