COTTAGE - Willowbank Cottage - 1 bedroom two story cottage. Fully equipped kitchen/lounge area with wood fire heater and gas heater. Bathroom has shower/sink/washing machine and a separate toilet from the bathroom. Our dog friendly area is the fenced deck and a small patch of grass with a large dog coup. The fence and the deck fence is 4 foot high. It is dog proof, but if your dog cannot jump over 4 foot. If you decide to book please remember to bring bath/beach towels/personal/shower toiletries. We supply bed linen everything for 'cleaning up in the kitchen.
HEATING:: IMPORTANT, if the gas heater is left on when you go out, we reserve the right to come in a turn it off. Our prices do not reflect this sort of usage! Also, do not leave the gas heater on all night, as this can be dangerous. Always leave a window open somewhere in the house regardless if you have the gas or wood stove going!
If you have an electric car please call the Information Centre 52891152 to see where you can top up your car in Lorne. We do not supply electricity.
MINIMUM BOOKING 2 nights. Configuration: upstairs is the one bedroom and downstairs is the kitchen/lounge/shower/toilet. The cottage is set on a quiet lane with elevated bush views and only a 10 minute walk down to the main street which consists of shops on one side and beach on the other. The stairs are steep, so if you gave mobility issues, I would suggest thinking twice about renting our cottage.

Directions
Drive into the middle of town and turn right in to Williams St. off the Great Ocean Road also called Mt. Joy Parade. Driving up the hill on Williams street take your 3rd major left where you will see a blue sign saying Cherry Tree Ck. cottages. 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 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! Please keep out of the bedroom if possible. All dogs must be taken for a ''toilet' walk before they come into the house after their trip here and 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. You must pick up all doggie poos.
PEOPLE RULES:
GARBAGE: We also recycle garbage here in Lorne. Yellow bin is recycle (the triangle on the bottom of plastic with #1to 5 in triangle is only plastic acceptable), green bin is for scrapes/vegetation. Purple bin is glass no lids and red bin is rubbish. If you don't do this, I have to paw through it as our shire is very strict on these rules.
GAS HEATER: Is not to be left on when you go out or all night long (this is for safety reason). If you go out and leave the heater on, I reserve the right to come in and turn it off. When gas heater and wood heater are on ALWAYS leave a window somewhere in the house open a couple of centimeters. Thank you.
