Lorne, Australia Merivale Full time

The Venue
The Lorne Hotel has stood proudly on The Great Ocean Road for 145 years, a bona fide local icon. With stunning ocean views and a variety of dining options – plus on-site 15 boutique hotel rooms, The Lorne Hotel is a true Aussie weekender.
Enjoy pub classics with a drink in hand at the Bistro & Beer Garden while you take in the sights of Loutit Bay and hinterland.

Housed within the precinct is the hatted restaurant, Totti's Lorne. Under the guidance of executive chefs Mike Eggert and Matt Germanchis, Totti's Lorne offers simple Italian favourites, with produce-focused dishes.
Guests can sit in our bright, trattoria-style restaurant and feel transported to the Italian coast as they enjoy succulent lobster pasta, wood-grilled King George whiting, and Apollo Bay calamari, along with Totti's classics — antipasti, woodfired bread, handmade pastas and tiramisu.

The Lorne Hotel is truly an iconic destination on the Great Ocean Road and a favourite for tourists and locals alike.
