COTTAGE - Willowbank Cottage is 1 bedroom, two story cottage located on a quiet dead end lane. From our deck you can look directly across the street into the bush where the Otway National Park begins. Upstairs in the bedroom, you can look out the windows and feel like you are in the tree tops. Our property (where we reside) is approximately 11/2 acres. The cottage is built mainly of recycled material that we have collected over the years from house demolitions in Lorne.
The cottage consist of a fully equipped kitchen/lounge area with wood fire heater and gas heater. Bathroom (on main floor) consists of a shower/sink/washing machine and a separate toilet . Our dog 'off leash area' is a combined deck/grass area which is enclosed with a 1.2 meter high fence.
If you decide to book, please note we don't supply bath/beach towels/personal/shower toiletries. We supply bed linen and everything for cleaning up in the kitchen. Our cottage is not 'high tech' (no internet) but you will have a relaxing time getting away from it all.

Driving up the hill on Williams Street, take your 3rd major left where you will see a blue sign saying Cherry Tree Ck. cottage. After you take this left, drive only about 60 feet and take your 1st right-this is Babingtion Lane a 'no through road'.. Drive slowly down this small section of road.. Willowbank is 4th residence on the left from the corner house and is a red trim weatherboard cottage just before the willow tree.
DOG RULES: Dogs are allowed inside, but not left inside alone if you go out. They must either go with you or left in the designated dog yard. No dogs on furniture or beds! . All dogs must be taken for a ''toilet' walk before they come into the house after their ride to Lorne. Doggie poos are to be bagged and thrown in the garbage bin provided outside. Please bring doggie stuff: beds, old towels to wipe them off. There is a hose out the front of the cottage to hose your dog down if need be.
