Built around Erskine House, the oldest operating guesthouse in Victoria, this heritage resort still provides all the modern comforts you need for a relaxing stay.
What’s more, you’re in prime position to explore the rugged cliffs, quiet beaches, cascading waterfalls and lush forests of the Great Ocean Road, or Lorne’s collection of upscale boutiques, quirky galleries and easygoing eateries.
Mantra Lorne is the beloved coastal town’s only true beachfront resort. Sightseeing comes easy when you’re based here, a mere 15 minutes’ drive from the charming Erskine Falls. You’re within easy reach of other unmissable stops along the Great Ocean Road, including the Twelve Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge, The Grotto and Bay of Islands.

The Resort — A 150-year-old oceanfront property with modern flourishes
Lorne is one of Victoria’s true coastal gems and a stay at Mantra Lorne — the only beachfront property in the area — is the best way to explore this beautiful region at your leisure.

Beautifully appointed rooms and apartments are complemented by high-end onsite facilities: take a dip in the indoor heated mineral pool and spa, sweat it out at the state-of-the-art fitness centre, pick up a racquet and head to one of the four tennis courts, or practise your swing at the golf putting green.
Spend your days chasing waterfalls, following mossy pathways through verdant forests and leaving footprints in golden sand – it’s all possible from Mantra Lorne, your launchpad into the natural wonderland of the Great Ocean Road
