Lorne, Victoria
Fantastic 180 degree ocean views taking in Aireys Inlet, Lorne Pier and views to the south. Sip a wine on the deck and keep an eye out for the occasional dolphin or whale that frequents Shelly Beach. All visible from the lounge dining & outdoor deck.
"The HowLongRicho retreat has everything our family needs for a relaxing holiday. The house has amazing views, is close to the beach and is a short walk into town. The house is comfortable, clean and a lovely place to spend a beach holiday. We love it and return every year. "

"The house lived up to our expectations and we could not have wished for any more. The view was wonderful and the place so clean. We loved the wood heater which warmed up very quickly and each evening we sat around enjoying the relaxing atmosphere and the sound of the sea. Sunny mornings on the deck , with cockatoos and magpies as visitors. the right place to restore balance in life. Thank you. Jean Bohmer"

"We had gone to Lorne for a family wedding and wanted somewhere large enough for 3 families to stay. HowLongRicho Retreat met those expectations and more. We all commented on how lovely it would be to go and stay for a week or more and enjoy the area and the house. I can't wait to come back!"

"Kicking back on the deck and looking over at the ocean was fantastic. Plenty of space for many people. Walking distance to the pier so it makes fishing a whole lot easier. Loved it!"

"The best thing was the fabulous views from the deck and watching the sunrise. It's close to fishing spots, walking tracks and of course the pub! Great place for large groups and we would definately consider returning for more walking, fishing, beaching, eating, drinking and sleeping - what could be better!"

"We had a fabulous week at the HowLongRicho Retreat. The house has fantastic sea views and is within walking distance of the beach beside the Pier. It had all the mod cons and the kids had a great time playing table tennis and jenga ! It had everything we could possibly need for a really enjoyable week. The wine, chocolates, and fresh flowers were a lovely touch and the owners very accessible and helpful. Thank you...we will be back. "
