The whole place was wonderful and unique in every way! We thoroughly enjoyed everything about this place!! What a great experience! The owners were the kindest people that made the experience even better! They made us farm fresh eggs for breakfast! Our room was beautifully decorated and comfortable! We were surrounded by the beauty of nature and beautiful art! This is my favorite place I stayed in our two weeks of Australia! Everything was amazing!

Very welcoming service and a comfortable little cabin that's nicely appointed in a slightly minimalist Japanese style. Yummy breakfast in the quiet of the lush bush made it a very peaceful and indulgent stay.

Heaven in the Bush
Posted 6 Mar 2019 on HotelsQdos is amazing. Gill was such a great host. The tree house is perfect nestled up with the trees. Had such a good time walking the grounds and looking at the artwork and plants. The coffee and food at the cafe was delicious. Will definitely be back .

A Gem on the GOR!
Posted 21 Jan 2019 on HotelsI had a wonderful time at Qdos Arts! A unique accommodation in the bush that feels like the perfect artist retreat. Still close to the center of Lorne and all the surrounding hikes/beaches.
Gill was a terrific host. A highlight of my trip on the Great Ocean Road!

Beautifully calming
Posted 17 Nov 2018 on HotelsMy wife and I had a stay here and thoroughly enjoyed it. The customer service provided by Gill and the team was outstanding. The Japanese inspired cabin was beautiful. Sitting out on the balcony listening to the birds 'having a party' was such fun. A family of kangaroos on the front lawn early one morning was also a highlight, There is a wifi connection which means you can stay connected if you need to or want to. Personally, I felt that it was great to spend a few days without TV and only connecting to post some beautiful photos! Great location (behind Lorne) and a good base for exploring some of the stunning walks and waterfalls. We would highly recommend it.

Touch of Japanese in Lorne
Posted 28 Jan 2018
Pros: Host was great, clean tidy and relaxing.
Cons: Aircon could be beneficial on the hotter days/nights
Location: Location is fairly central to Lorne township. The grounds include a gallery, sculpture garden and outdoors events space.
Thanks to ur wonderful host Gillian, she made our long weekend an truly pleasant and memorable one.
She was helpful, charming, accommodating, friendly and gracious.
Our Japanese inspired cottage was neatly presented and a pleasure to stay in. I would although say it may have been a problem if the weather was warmer as there was no aircon.
Despite this, the complimentary breakfast was lovely and the general surrounds were peaceful and relaxing.
Highly recommended.
