On the southeastern coast of Australia, along the scenic Great Ocean Road that runs for 124 mi (200 km) from the Great Otway National Park to Melbourne, lies Lorne. This small seaside town that overlooks Louttit Bay, is surrounded by thick forests, low mountains and picturesque waterfalls you can enjoy while relaxing at a nearby Airbnb vacation rental. Lorne Beach is a popular destination among surfers who bravely ride the waves of the bay. Onlookers can just admire the surfers’ feats from Teddy’s Lookout, an unmissable spot that offers panoramic views, both out on the coast and inland over the St. George River. The area is ideal for outdoorsy adventurers as well as for those who just want to chillax at a pet-friendly Airbnb and explore the coast with their furry friends, lulled by its waves rhythmically crashing on the shore. Here’s a rundown of the best cabin rentals in and near Lorne, Australia.
