Loved our stay at the chapel. Beautiful energy throughout. The daybed was a highlight watching the koalas in the trees. We would love to return to the special couples hideaway. The only downfall was that the delivery man couldn't find it. I'd suggest others to pack an easy dinner to throw in the oven because you probably won't feel like... More

My wife and I have been to The Chapel twice now. It is a wonderful building overlooking a large valley of eucalypt trees. If you are lucky you will see a koala or two. You will definitely see many birds of different types, especially cockatoos. The chapel is two-storey and there is plenty of stair climbing to do to get... More

The Chapel is undoubtedly a very special place to stay, surrounded by the bush and comfortably and attractively fitted out. The breakfast supplies were minimal, however. We bought our own fruit, muesli and yoghurt to supplement it. And normally with a B&B the host makes some effort to welcome guests and show an interest in their well-being. Here when we... More

The Chapel was the perfect place to stay for my anniversary with my partner. At first my partner was a bit weiry with no window coverings but it was brilliant waking up to the birds and not a person in sight! Beautiful day bed looking out to the bush, quality provisions provided, privacy and just overall a great place to... More

The Chapel was a perfect way to spend my partners birthday and our 3 year anniversary...and also a great place to recover after Meredith Music Festival. This place is an absolute treat, the attention to detail is second to none, it is warm, cosy and interesting. Breakfast supplies were great, and the kitchen was fully stocked with every utensil and... More

Overall, had a great stay in Lorne in this lovely accommodation. Short drive to the main strip. Can walk to the beach but it is a bit hilly. Only things to consider when staying here (and not in the owners control) is (a) the wild life - whilst it was fantastic getting up close and personal with koalas and other... More

After reading the first review I was a bit nervous about staying, but can I say what a magical place. How a Peeping Tom could have got to there is beyond me. A great relaxing time was had and would recommend to anyone. Great host and hostess.

Big windows, no curtains and beautiful views, Then when night time came we were surprised to catch a person looking in the window back at us, my husband yelled out and they ran away. We wont be returning for obvious reasons.

I am not sure why more reviews haven't been written on TripAdvisor about this gem. I initially found the recommendation in the Lonely Planet Magazine and I am delighted that I did. The Chapel is hidden away at the end of quite a steep drive in Lorne; however, the drive is more than worth it for the fantastic views from... More

Wonderful open design, full of unique character. The stand-alone building backs onto forest, and is almost completely out of the view of any neighbouring house. The owners clearly love the facility and took great care in selecting furniture and curios that help it feel special. Loads of natural light, plenty of space, a comprehensive kitchen area and a huge rack... More
