Nestled Among the Forest
Adventure in Lorne, Great Ocean Road, VIC, AU
Nestled into the Otway forest, Kensho brings out a sense of calm like you are the only people in the world. With wide-open windows that can see into the lush greenery around you, you feel engulfed in this peaceful, ancient forest.
Only a short 20-minute drive from Lorne beach, the winding roads were a welcome sight for sore eyes as you drink in the beauty of nature.
We set out into the surrounding areas and were welcomed with moody lookouts that stretched out as far as the eye could see, the sea welcoming our surf and the perfect 90's diner to fill our stomachs after a long day of exploring.

Things We Did
- Surf
- Restaurant
- Lookout
- Grocer
Taking to the sea, we learned that Lorne's waves provide a different challenge as we surfed close by rocks, with the current pulling towards the shore.
The perfect 90's diner nestled on Lorne foreshore. Providing us with hot food and music to dance too after a day of exploring.
A perfect spot to overlook the winding Great Ocean Rd, perfect for scouting the waves and also to explore the winding tracks that jut off from the main lookout.
Filled to the brim with organic foods, salivating lunches and beautiful fruit and vegetables. The perfect stop for lunch before we checked into our accommodation.
