Property Description:
In the main shopping strip of Lorne there's a rather unusual, modern, wrought iron gateway, with the name Phoenix Apartments above it, that leads to a private courtyard around which the apartments are located. The apartment balconies overhang this courtyard, framed by slender cypress trees, while the studio units open out onto decks just above ground level. The central space is licensed, so guests can sit and enjoy a drink by the eclectic fountain.

The modern apartments were designed by architect, Chris Connell, in what was a major conversion from the original purpose of the building as Lorne's squash courts. The two top most apartments have full ocean views from the living room and balcony. Below these the next two apartments have partial ocean views. These four apartments each have a separate bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and open plan living area. The Studios on the other hand have the one combined living/sleeping room, plus kitchen and ensuite.

Each apartment has full cooking facilities and features polished timber floors, and simply designed, hand crafted wooden furniture. The decor is deliberately minimal to maximise the interior spaciousness. Both styles of apartment have a large sliding glass panel opening onto the balcony or deck. Stainless steel balustrades complement the light, airy style of the balcony apartments.
