That i couldn’t stay longer

The location was stunning. The Japanese inspired rooms were also a great experience. The art gallery is stunning and the host makes the best scones!

We loved absolutely everything about our stay — from Gillian’s warm hospitality and incredible attention to detail, to the serene atmosphere and the exceptional quality of our accommodation. With only five beautifully designed units, the space felt intimate and special. The Japanese-inspired style added a unique and calming touch that made our stay truly memorable. It was so quiet and peaceful, tucked away just five minutes from the bustle of Lorne. We were surrounded by trees and birdsong — a perfect retreat into nature. We also really enjoyed having access to the gallery, which added a lovely cultural element to the experience. Breakfast was delicious, and the coffee was a perfect 10 out of 10. We can’t recommend this place highly enough. We’ll definitely be coming back without a moment’s hesitation.

Our only regret is not staying a few more nights to explore the incredible artwork.

Qdos not only has the most magical and fascinating facilities, the service is on par with your mother's. This beautiful place feels like home. As we arrived we were greeted by Gill who is the warmest and gentlest spirits you will ever come across. Not to spoil it but she will show your a lil tour of what will soon to become your favourite accommodation in all of Lornes. The rooms itself was immaculate with a Japanese interior and you will feel the zen immediately.

Gill and other staff on the property were super warm and friendly. Check in and out process were super easy. We had everything we needed and more! The welcoming drinks, cheese and cracker platter and a birthday cake for my friend, their hospitality went above and beyond. Breakfast was delicious. The location was peaceful and quiet, yet the Lorne town centre is only 5min drive away with dining options. We look forward to visiting again soon!

Nothing really - for my partner with mobility issues the access was challenging - but we both agree it was worth it . We really wished we had booked 2 nights instead of just one.

The property is a living art gallery with sculptures spread through the garden. The chalets are set on a hillside so are very private - and peaceful

We stayed during a very hot weekend, so the room was very warm even with the dyson and fan on.

Host was amazing and super accomodating. Qdos itself was beautiful - so happy to see some kangaroos hopping around too! Breakfast at the cafe was delicious and had great coffee. Beautiful artwork in the galleries and also in the surrounding areas. We stayed in the Yume house and it was perfect for the 2 of us - complimentary drinks in the fridge was a great bonus.

The Japanese style of the room was a nice surprise, the surrounding nature was beautiful, the host Jill was lovely and very accommodating and the art gallery was a bonus.

Breakfast was great and the location on the sculpture viewing deck very relaxing. A short walk around the sculpture park and garden before breakfast set us up for the day. Lorne is only 5 minutes drive away. Ipsos would be the best restaurant in Lorne and is worth booking in advance for dinner.

The host/owner is the best ever. And the room is better than the photos

They do amazing work. No improvements needed.
