Lorhiti Apartments

Lorhiti - a lovely place to stay on LHI. We stayed at Lorhiti for 8 nights in March - a popular & busy time as the weather is pretty consistently good. The young people who run Lorhiti are all lovely & genuinely caring about you & work hard to ensure the premises are kept as neat & clean as a pin. We liked the location- being near to very pretty Ned’s Beach - which is great if the wind is favourable. It’s not too far to walk into the village in daylight hours although there’s at least one steep hill. We mostly rode bikes which we hired for the week. The apartment is uncluttered, clean & has everything you need to relax & self cater. We self catered for lunch & breakfast & once used the available BBQ at Lorhiti but under the outside lighting got attacked by mosquitoes so went inside. I would have liked to have seen Lorhiti use ecco cleaning products especially given that LHI is a World Heritage listed protected environment. I also didn’t like the cheap plastic cutting ‘board’ which we know results in creating micro plastic- also bad for the environment as it washes down the sink & into the precious sea that LHI is recognised for due to it having the world’s most southern coral reef. I think Lorhiti can lift its standards in these regards given its unique pristine location & also set a higher bar as an example to all who stay here.

We've stayed with Fletch & Kathi twice now & we're already discussing our 3rd visit. We love the closeness to Ned's Beach, (there's a direct private path where you walk under huge Banyan trees that act as Torri Gates) where you can snorkel with amazing array of fish, turtles & even an occasional Galapagos shark or swim till your hearts content. You can walk to the main lagoon where there's plenty to do & eat, the bush walks to the Valley of Shadows, the Clear Place & Malabar are also handy. Our unit was again beautiful & quiet, very clean & has a really comfy bed. We cooked in our unit & there's a BBQ in the rear courtyard also. Added to all this is the sound of Ned's providing some lovely ambience into the night & early morning. .

Lorhiti provided us with wonderful accomodation. So very clean and a spacious one bedroom apartment, along with a bed that was so very comfortable. The welcome supplies - chocolate, tea, coffee etc were great to have until we could get to the local shop. The pick up and drop off to the airport works so well along with the drop off at restaurants for dinner at night. Thank you to Fletcher and Kathi for all their organisation. Easy access by foot or bike to shops and cafes. Lorhiti is on the hill but easy enough to manage biking or walking the last little bit of the hill. We loved the location - so very peaceful and idyllic with nothing to hear but the swaying palms and bird life. One of our favourite activities at Lord Howe was feeding the fish at Ned’s Beach. The walk down to Ned’s was by a private track from Lorhiti which is lined with beautiful vegetation and plants. We made good use of the BBQ facilities after my husband had been fishing. Unfortunately our time on Lord Howe was reduced due to airline problems and weather but we really enjoyed the 4 nights we had. Would love to return to Lord Howe one day and would definitely stay at Lorhiti again.
