Kiara - Warm, Spacious and Free WIFI

Unassuming and nestled into the Lorne landscape, only a few hundred meters from the town centre, Kiara is as understated as it is exceptional.

The soft external rendering, modest entry and surrounding bush landscape give away very little on arrival. Stepping onto the upper balcony Kiara reveals herself as a spacious charming and somewhat chic renovated beach home. The oversized deck boasting ocean and treetop views, serves as entry point to the main open plan living, dining and kitchen area.

Timber floors and ceiling, full length windows, soft contemporary furnishings and simple artworks combine to create a warm relaxed environment.

Split level and overlooking this space are three double bedrooms, one fully en suited and a main bathroom. All bedrooms are well appointed and offer plenty of space to spread out. A timber staircase descends the main living room to the lower level. A second living room, three further bedrooms, main bathroom and powder room reveal themselves in true tardis fashion.

While vehicle access is off Polwarth road, foot traffic has a direct line into town via steps that run beside Kiara. Other key features include a second deck area downstairs, open fireplace, WiFi access, Telstra TV, Sonos sound, Meile appliances, split system heating and cooling in both living rooms, multiple decks with outdoor furniture & WebberQ. Yes, it is quiet a list!

Group catch-up in Lorne
Kiara was represented accurately and worked perfectly for our group of 11 friends. It is centrally located, well equipped and appointed. We would have loved to have spent more time on the beautiful deck but the weather was not kind. Regardless the house allowed us plenty of living room inside and a queen bedroom for each couple with a bunk room as well. The drive is quite steep as others have noted but manageable and there was room to park on the road.

Nice place, hard to find the address, no towels
Nice place with good view, relatively clean. Instructions to find the place was very confusing and made it harder to find Could simply give number 57 on the street and say once at 57 turn left ad you will be at number 34 (the property) No towels and linens and only very small amount of toilet paper and soap etc. Compared to other places we rented this was minimum provided. The staff at GOR office were friendly and gave us towels with no cost for 8 people out of 12.

We stayed in this property in Aug 2019 and it was superb. The amenity and views were A1.
This property had all the modern conveniences and was superbly located on a short walk to the Main Street. All the bedrooms and bathrooms were contemporary and the main living area and outdoor deck presented a wonderful open plan to entertain. Plenty of room for 12 people and heaps of car parking. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to other. Malcolm
