Business Description

Offered for sale by its original owner for the first time in over 40 years, this is a truly rare opportunity to acquire an upscale freehold accommodation asset in one of the Great Ocean Road’s most fashionable locations.

Two hour’s drive southwest of Melbourne, Lorne is one of the most desired destinations on this world-famous scenic drive. Over the recent holiday season (20 December 2025 to 4 January 2026), Lorne ranked the second top destination in the country for tourist spending.

The 16-apartment/villa Anchorage Lorne has been a local institution since its 1983 inception. This luxury property enjoys one of the best positions in town, directly opposite the beach on a 2,244 sqm lot on Mountjoy Parade — Lorne’s main street and shopping promenade.

The sale includes four street-level commercial lots generating approximately $180,000 per annum in rental income, providing valuable passive income to supplement the core accommodation business or holding income in the event of redevelopment.
