About this property
Cherry Tree Creek Lorne Cottage (Willowbank)
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.

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. 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.

What makes this property unique
Ed and I have spent 5 years collecting recycled materials from houses demolished in Lorne . Ed also cut down unsafe or unwanted trees in the area and cut them up for the timber you see clad on the outside of the cottage. The inside is a similar story, with preloved furniture and furnishings. This has been a labour of love that took 3 years to build not to mention the years before hand, collecting, cleaning and stacking materials. It was very rewarding, but it took patience and hard work.
