Feb 3, 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful views Lovely retro house with fantastic views. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge. Bedrooms very good sizes. Driveway difficult to find - can only be accessed via Deans-Marsh road, not on Smithers Street . Only suggestion is to have the house a little cleaner, especially the windows facing the view and the bathroom. Otherwise fantastic, we had a wonderful stay. ##### Anne B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rubin C.

It's a great place to relax. It has plenty of space and most essentials. It's the perfect distance from town, a nice walk but not too close. ##### Bill This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Bill Jan 22, 2018 #### Execellent I have booked the Retro Retreat for the same time for the past 9 years. It has a great view, lots of space and its retro feel is part of the charm. I'm not a five star hotel person, and the property has everything I and my family want or need (since adding a good BBQ about 6 years ago). I book it for a week over summer. It is old, and like most Lorne properties, about 300 meters up a hill. Overall, we love it. It has a great balcony, with a view across the bay and to the pier and there is generally plenty of cockatoos and kookaburras. ##### Bill This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good Apr 22, 2017 #### Beautiful ocean views We enjoyed our stay at the Retro Retreat. It was spacious and the furnishings suited the period it intended which gave the place a homely atmosphere. The driveway was a little cumbersome and difficult to find in the beginning. Overall, we had a comfortable stay with a lovely view of the ocean from our bedroom window and balcony. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Sammy Apr 15, 2016 #### Cool house This was a really cool house. It had heaps of space for everyone and even though it's older we loved the retro feel. ##### Sammy This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Aurelie Oct 10, 2015 #### Very nice morning view We enjoyed our stay however kitchen equipment is of poor quality. ##### Aurelie
