Looking for a weekend away? The Pink Lodge is a vintage beach getaway like no other

When the time comes to plan the next holiday, there’s a lodge in Lorne with plenty of space for you and your seventeen closest friends.

Be it a birthday, graduation, Hens weekend, or just a good time for a little escape, a candy pink beach hideaway on the Great Ocean Road might be just the right idea.

For large friendship groups, extended families, wedding parties, social clubs, and whoever else seeking the perfect group retreat (and perhaps struggling to find a place with both comfort and adequate space), The Pink Lodge is an impressive spot that would catch anyone’s eye; In the seaside town of Lorne, the ’60s inspired house hosts up to 18 guests, and still leaves space for rest and relaxation.

Stay up to date with what’s happening in and around the region here.

The house has four bedrooms for guests to split up as they please: three double rooms, each with a king-sized bed, and one long shared bedroom with six bunk bends— like a camp from your childhood with a serious upgrade. And of course, each room is styled to create a friendly and easy-going beach house vibe. 

As one might expect, the rest of the space is also built with relaxation in mind; The separated living/dining and rec rooms both have high ceilings, hardwood floors, and tons of seating and summery decor. The rec room, however, really shines through its— well— recreation, complete with table tennis, a smart TV, surround sound stereo, and even vintage pinball and arcade machines. Winner picks the movie.

The kitchen is also incredibly cute, featuring a blue, retro-style refrigerator and rounded out with a barbeque (and some picnic seating) right outside on the patio, a spot just begging for a night of homemade fish or pizza— with plenty of wine and cheese, of course. 

Not just a comfy getaway on its own, The Pink Lounge is only a short walking distance from Lorne Beach, making for an easy afternoon of surfing, swimming, or sunbathing. In the other direction, it’s also right in the midst of the town of Lorne, with plenty of shopping, food, and other experiences waiting to be discovered, as well as some beautiful cliffside views for those willing to take a little walk. 

After a full day of fun and activity with all your favorite people, what better place to go to clean up and rest than a cozy sleepover house that everyone can share?
