this little cottage was far beyond our expectations. Quaint and clean and quiet. Will definitely return to Allenvale.
Stayed 2 nights in May 2019

10/10

This was our 2nd time at Allenvale albeit in a different cottage (Riverbank this time) and we just absolutely love love love coming here. The cottages are so comfortable, cosy and well looked after. Excellent location in the beautiful tranquil surrounds of the forest yet only a 5min drive to the centre of Lorne. The cottage has everything you need for a truly relaxing city escape. All the cottages are nicely spaced out with a creek running through the property and lovely bush walks at your doorstep.

Was lovely and peaceful setting to sit back and just enjoy the serenity.

10/10

Far enough away from town but close enough to town (short drive) Quiet and peaceful place to stay away from the busy tourist area , plenty of places to eat , reasonable prices.

10/10

We stayed for 2 nights in the winter months. Our stay was fantastic. From cozying up to the fire, listening to music and relaxing, cooking our own meals with the equipt kitchen, sitting on the verendah listening to the birds and the creek. The place was beautiful. Everything was provided. Right down to the board games. No bad things to stay about this place. Already booking it for the summer.

8/10

Beautiful tranquil bush surrounds with some lovely bush walks at the front door and a sculpture gallery nearby also. Very cosy cottage with all the essentials. A bit of dust and cobwebs around but overall very clean tidy and no spiders seen. Kero cottage is by the stream and the constant sound was so soothing. Can't really hear the stream inside the cottage though. The abundant supply of firewood made for a fabulous winter weekend escape by the crackling fire. Additional electric heaters and electric blankets were also provided. The hosts were around if needed but not intrusive

8/10

Two very pleasant nights in Kero cottage. Well set up, loads of reading material provided in the cottage, along with a very well set up kitchen. Beds very comfortable, with great bedding. Only small issue was damp fire wood , took some time to get the fire burning well enough, but once it was going well, it made the cottage very cosy on a cold winters day. Great walks nearby. Lovely peaceful spot.

We did have a lovely weekend i Lorne- we stayed in the Rose Cottage. It was clean & tidy with a Well equipped kitchen. If i can offer some feedback - when i hear cottage, i think 'cosy' & this wasn't. It was a cold weekend, there was a woodfire, which we did manage to keep going; floor rugs would have been perfect on the hard floors. A heater in the bathroom would be a bonus.

10/10

Our family of four were very pleased with the cozy, comfortable cottage in the woods. There was ample space for my husband and two teenage daughters. The fire was welcoming during cool evenings and the kitchen was well equipped to cook family meals. I would recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for a reasonable place to stay near Lorne.

8/10

Stayed in Kero cottage, it is in a great location, close to several hiking trails, however the rooms could have been better cleaned. I wouldn't recommend visiting in the off season if you are interested in spending much time in Lorne other than the beach, it was difficult even to find fast food places to get dinner from at night. The town seemed pretty much dead after 5pm besides a few expensive restaurants.

10/10

We arrived to a beautiful green rainforest with a sprinkling of cottages. A perfect little getaway for people who love nature and feeling almost alone in the world. The Kero cottage itself was lovely, we felt at home as soon as we entered the door.

6/10

Un peu difficile de trouver l'endroit. Un havre de paix mais de l'eau marron et aucune connexion tel ou wifi donc uniquement pour se reposer !! Service minimum vu que ce sont des chalets en pleine nature.

10/10

Lovely cottage with plenty of room. No phone coverage was all the better and just a short walk/ drive to get back in range. Had our own space but knew the owner was around if we needed anything. Enjoyed the leave and quiet and breakfast with the birds within a short trip to the beach and shops.

Very homely cottage in the forest. Fire place and heater, roomy and well set out. Too birding spot. Handy to walking trails etc. Highly recommend.

10/10

We loved our time at Kero Cottage and hope to return. Peaceful, relaxing and beautiful. Environment is like stepping back in time in a lovely way and feeling cocooned in an old style cottage but with all the modern conveniences. So comfortable. A great place to rest and read.
