We stayed in the Kero cottage at Allenvale and found good & bad points: GOOD: Unbeatable location if you like to be removed from the town centre and in the middle of the bushland. It was so relaxing and there's some pleasant walks nearby, as well as a creek running behind and in front of the place. The bushland is... More

A real valley hideaway by a babbling creek. Beautiful walks. Lovely potbelly stove. Not too far from town either. Sadly we did not get to meet the owner but we did arrive to the fire lit!

We didn't really know what to expect, but on arrival we found that it was a simply perfect break during our whirlwind trip in Australia. We stayed at the Rose Cottage for 2 nights - which is done up exactly how an old cottage in the countryside should be. The sounds of the whispering trees, gurgling stream and the constant... More

Loved our stay at Allenvale cottages. Was only there for 2 nights and this was not long enough. It was the most beautiful hidden secret. . The location is only a couple of Kms from Lorne and is near lots of walks and waterfalls. The cottages were very clean and homely and had everything we needed, Would highly recommend these... More

We stayed in one of the cottages for 2 nights in December. Loved the wildlife in the area- including a couple of kookaburras who were very friendly and George the kangaroo who sat on the lawn and looked at us. We also heard the koalas but didn't see them. Really a lovely spot, with lush gardens. The cottage was well-equiped... More

My husband and I stayed at Allenvale Cottages in Kero Cottage. We discovered them, like another reviewer mentioned, whilst walking in the area previously. The cottage was beautful - in fact the website does not do Kerosine Cottage justice. The cottage has the most amazing windows - my husband and I have never stayed in a place with such a... More

Our friends have been going to these cottages for 3 years now to celebrate xmas in July - what a lovely place! Our first thought on walking is it that it's just like going home to grandma's for the holidays. The cottages are quaint but with modern conveniences - the fireplace is a hit! The forest is outside all windows,... More

You wouldnt believe you are only 10mins from Lorne in this lovely spot. Nestled in the forest, you feel like you are in a secret and special place, blessed by birds and wildlife. Numerous bush walks start from your door, with beautiful forest, waterfalls, and beach all accessible via a range of short to long, and easy to more challenging... More

I have been to these cottages twice now, having stumble accross them while hiking in the area. They are fantastic set nearby loads of trails and close to the beach. The only place I would stay at in Lorne!
