Very well located: walkway through to Ned’s Beach; 10/15 min walk to The Anchorage and shops and lagoon. Comfy bed; well kitted out for self-catering (equiv to 3-star motel); free internet (a must on LHI as no cell phone coverage). Overall a very good option if the full bed & board (‘American Plan’) apartment complexes are beyond your budget.

Rear windows weren’t lockable. On the mainland this would be a big issue but on a small island with only 300 residents, and only access by air - not that big a deal; similarly the ‘transit lounge’ where you leave your bags waiting transport could do with key code access - again only an issue for those taking Sat/Sun mid-afternoon flights who may not be comfortable leaving laptops / kindles etc while taking a last opportunity for a stroll; swim or brunch in the township.

Location is good, near to lovely Ned's Beach. A bit of a walk into town with a hill. You either walk or ride a bike and the accommodations will drive you to dinner each night.

Our mattress was a bit too old I thought. I thought they could have provided more ecco friendly cleaning products given its a world heritage listing in recognition of its superlative natural phenomena and its rich terrestrial and marine biodiversity as an outstanding example of an island ecosystem developed from submarine volcanic activity.

This property is a gem. Location was perfect with private access to Neds Beach and a short stroll to a variety of foodie options. The bed was super comfy and the room spotless. All you need in a kitchen to cook and a number of beautifully maintained private spaces in the gardens to relax and eat. The transfer service to and from the airport was seamless and communication clear. The staff were super helpful with the local intel and things to do and see. Thank you Lorhitti. We had an incredible week and look forward to visiting again in the future.

Nothing. Everything was perfect.

The staff are the best! I received a lovely email from Kathi once I had booked giving me lots of information - what kind of weather I could expect, what there was to do on the island, what was provided in my apartment, what restaurants/shops were nearby etc which was super helpful. Fletch collected me from the airport for my free transfer and was super friendly and drove to the accommodation slowly, pointing out everything I might need on the way, which helped me immediately get my bearings. I was also provided with a map of the town and some details for some hikes which was also really helpful. The accommodation was close to everything and is set in beautiful grounds. Everything was as advertised. The heater and electric blanket on the bed were much appreciated as it was pretty cold at night. The bathroom doesn't look very modern in the photos but I was pleasantly surprised to find that the shower had good water pressure and plenty of hot water. There's private access to beautiful Ned's Beach and the town and Lagoon Beach are only approx. 5 mins walk away. Thanks Kathi and Fletch! Lord Howe Island itself is expensive to get to and whilst you are there (I paid $15.00 for a load of bread!) but the place is honestly like paradise and it was worth every cent. The beaches are beautiful and pristine. Do some of the walks/hikes if you can as the views are some of the best I've ever seen.

Soundproofing between the villas is virtually non-existent and you can hear full on conversations like your neighbours are in the next room. I asked for a quiet room as I'm a light sleeper and was given the last villa of the row which was much appreciated as I only had noise from one side and luckily my neighbours weren't too bad.

Absolutely magnificent experience at Lorhiti. Great location just a short walk from the beautiful Ned's beach. Our host who met us at the airport showed us all the important spots we needed to know during the short minivan ride. Be sure to grab a bicycle on your first day as it is the best way to get around

My wife didn't like the little hill on the bike coming back from the lagoon beach. She'll work on the two piston engine for next time. Only tip could be to offer a ride back down to collect bicycles just after arrival as they are so handy for the stay on the island.

Great and prompt communication with Kathi Layne and Jayden were wonderful!! - very helpful and friendly hosts Comfy bed Olive oil, S&P provided, usual (hotel/motel) type of supplies to start with (tea bags, coffee sachets, sugar, small milk in fridge) Welcome block of chocolate Diamonds store down the road is great for prepared meals (not always available) and fresh meat, produce and groceries Nice and close to Ned's beach for a swim/snorkel

As others have reviewed, the lounge is rather uncomfy No tissues provided

Lorhiti was well equipped for you to cater and relax at home and beautiful gardens surrounded the apartments where you could read a book or enjoy a wine. We were met at the airport by a lovely couple from Western Australia who drove us the scenic route back to Lorhiti and provided us with lots of information on places to visit, cafes to eat at etc. It was a 10 minute walk from our accomodation down a private track to Ned’s Beach which was excellent for snorkelling.

My husband is unable to ride a bike so we walked into town. It probably took us 15 mins and longer on the way back as steep. This would be a quick hop skip and a jump for people cycling.

We’ll set up apartments with all the facilities. Location next to Ned’s Beach was great. Close to most things with a number of challenging walks close by. Staff were great and helpful with lifts to restaurants at 6:00 PM each night.

Minor detail ceiling fan blades could do with a clean.

Lovely casual vibe with everything you need (no oven but we used bbq very successfully to cook lasagna) and fabulous location with private track to beautiful Beds beach - went for a dip and fish feed there every morning. Had a spa at the end of every day too.

Only just enough crockery/cutlery/mugs etc

Very quiet. Lovely garden. Good value. Great staff. Lovely short track to Ned's Beach.

Felt a little closed in but I think most accommodation on the island is tucked in amongst palm tree forests. Very comfortable and clean. A little dated but I think renovations are pending.
