The space
An easy two hour drive from Melbourne, mid way along the Great Ocean Road . Enjoy all that the surf coast has to offer without the noise, traffic, hustle and bustle!


Just 2 km from the town centre of Lorne, in a world of our own. ‘Allenvale’ is simply stunning. Kilometres of beautiful walking trails through rainforest to waterfalls, pick an apple from our century old organic apple orchard. Follow the St George river trail (Mountain to Surf Run), over river crossings to where the river mouth meets the beach and opens out to the sea. Stroll up the Allenvale Road to Lorne's premier Art Gallery 'QDOS', and enjoy fine food, wine, sculpture and constantly changing art.


The perfect base for all your Great Ocean Road and Otway Hinterland explorations. Pack a picnic and take the day to wind your way through Apollo Bay, to the Twelve Apostles, Otway Fly Treetop Walk, olives groves and wineries.


Exceptional convenience, comfortable eclectic mix of country furnishings, rustic charm and stunning beauty.


We share the natural wonders of the area with a vast array of native fauna and birdlife. Kangaroos, Koalas, Possums, Kookaburras, Blue Wrens and Bower Birds to name just a few.


We offer you a choice of self contained, private and individual accommodation for couples, groups and families. Ideal venue for your special event, intimate wedding party and more. Each cottage boasts gorgeous views of our stunning river and valley setting.

Other things to note
There is flat screen TV, DVD player, and WiFi internet cover for your entertainment. Wifi can be patchy sometimes because Allenvale is in a valley.

Upstairs on 2nd level 1st bedroom has 2 x singles, 2nd room with King and 3rd bedroom with Queen bed.

A slow combustion wood fire and additional reverse cycle air provides ample warmth for a cosy retreat in winter and cooling if required in the summer.

*Please not guests need to provide their own wood for the firebox box. Wood is available at the supermarket and petrol station.

Please show yourselves into Riverbank cottage, the keys will be on the table for you.

There is no council rubbish collection at Allenvale, there are community bins available at the Lorne transfer station on the Erskine Falls Road.

Sometimes the water can be slightly dis-coloured because the supply is filtered river water, it's perfectly safe to drink.

There are many beautiful walks through the bush along the George River to the ocean and through the Allenvale orchard to water falls.

We hope you enjoy your stay!
