About this property
Dog friendly Goose Crossing studio, 15 minute walk to the beach 9 Babington Lane
Before we get started, I want you to know I do not have internet no matter if you look at Stayz or Vrbo or Homeaway. Its a glitch in the site!
Goose Crossing has been accommodating people and dogs since the early 90's. We choose to take dogs because we love them ourselves. Goose Crossing is a small studio (4.5 x 3.5 meters) only for single or two people and maximum two very small dogs or one medium dog. You must disclose that you have a dog coming with you.
The studio is in the village of Lorne situated in a quiet garden setting where a few parrots and roos can get quite friendly. The deck (4.5 × 3.5 meters) along a small pocket of garden are fenced together for your dog. Fencing is 4 foot high. . Even though the studio is small it has all your conveniences... a small kitchenette, heating/air conditioning, queen bed, TV, DVD, (no internet) and a BBQ and deck furniture. The main street and foreshore of the town is only a 15-minute walk down the hill. We have a great dog beach which is 24/7 all year round.. Our studio is built with second hand materials and furnished in a similar way. Modern we are not! Check in and check out times are fairly flexible. Generally, we say 1 pm check in and check out 10:00. Times can go either way, depending on the comings/goings of other guest. Goose Crossing is a perfect getaway for you and your dog for a short stay(and not breaking the bank).
There are an assortment of rules for your dog, but they are reasonable.
1. Not on furniture
2. Pick up all doggie poos and dispose of in garbage bins outside
3 .Dogs allowed inside but not left alone inside if going out.
4.. Dogs must have a toilet break before they come in the studio for the first time. (Dogs do like to leave their mark on new places even well-trained dogs)
6. You MUST disclose you have a dog/s and what breed. If not, I can refuse to rent to you.
People rules:
1. Air-conditioned/heating appliance is not to be left on when you have left the premises. It only takes a few minutes to heat or cool this studio..
2. Please don't leave the outside light on all night. It shines into the neighbour's windows.
3. I do not have charging facilities for cars. Call the Lorne Info Center for this information, Ph 5289115
4. Please do not leave your electric appliances charging when you go out and about away from the studio and also all night when you are sleeping.
5. We are a 'no party' policy (big or small)
Directions: Turn right on to Williams Street off the Great Ocean Road known as Mt. Joy Parade. Driving up Williams, take your 3rd left. (at the top of the hill) Drive about 60 feet (18.29 metres) and take your first right, which is Babington Lane and a 'no through road'. This short road (at the end) will take you veering slightly left to face a building where you cannot go any farther. Park on the right of the building facing you. The studio will be at the back right corner of the building, with a sign saying 'Goose Crossing' and steps leading up on to the deck. Come in and make yourselves at home (it will be open for you) and we will catch up to you at some stage.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Marsha & Ed Babington

We have had this property since the early 70's and have slowly built it up through the years. It has been a labour of love. Our buildings are all from recycled materials collected and restored over the years, which makes for a different atmosphere.
Why they chose this property
This is a quiet property and you can enjoy nature and the garden here on the deck with you pooch. The beach is only a 15 minute walk and the national park is across the street.
Would not even know there is a busy crowd down on the beach and main street. If this is what you want, it is for you.

What makes this property unique
A reasonable priced property that you can bring you best friend (human or dog). We are not mainstream in our approach to decorating our flat (using recycled materials) and our philosophy on life. We hope everyone that comes will have a relaxing holiday, enjoying not only the beach but the natural surroundings of our property and the bush and Lorne itself. We cater for couples/singles with your pet. Young children are not recommended as we don't cater for their needs and interests.
