INFORMATION - WHAT TO BRING

LOCATION                       The flats are within easy walking distance of the main beach and shopping area, set amongst gum trees, half way between the Post Office and the pier and facing Mountjoy Parade (Great Ocean Road).  From the verandah there is an extensive view of Louttit Bay.
ACCOMMODATION                        Each flat has a separate entrance, and a living room with a T.V. and an electric space heater.  They each have two bedrooms, (2 single beds & one bunk bed in one room and a double/single bunk in the other.)  Blankets and pillows and electric blankets are supplied. We must insist that you accommodate no more than six, as we have had a problem with noise in the past.  Each kitchen has an electric stove, microwave oven, refrigerator, toaster, jug, cooking utensils, crockery and cutlery.  The bathrooms have hot water, showers and sewered toilets. There is a porta cot shared between each flat,  a shared laundry but no iron.  There is also an extra toilet outside to be shared by both flats.   If any of your party use it, please make sure you leave it clean as well.  A portable barbeque is available in the laundry, and should be left in a clean state.  If the gas cylinder needs refilling please obtain receipt and send to Lorne Flats Booking Secretary for reimbursement.  ARRIVAL                             Your booking begins at 5.00pm.   Power board is on front veranda between the two flats.
