Abington Farm B&B is a working farm stay on Coghlans Lane just outside Heyfield, and it is one of the more genuinely relaxed pet policies in the Gippsland Lakes hinterland: dogs of any size are welcome, usually with no extra fee.
The pet policy. Dogs are allowed to stay, and Booking.com and Tripadvisor both list the property as dog-friendly with no additional charges. There is no published size or breed restriction, though hosts expect a well-behaved dog. Notify the property when booking so they can plan for a pet in your cottage or in The Barn.
The place. Accommodation is cottage and villa style with farm views, and the grounds are shared with resident farm animals, including camels. Dogs should be kept under control around the livestock. There is plenty of open outdoor space to walk a dog on lead, but bring your own bowls, bedding and food as this is a working farm, not a pet-supply stocked resort.
Location and nearby. The farm is about a two-and-a-half hour drive from Melbourne. Lake Glenmaggie is a short drive away for scenic water views and walking, and Heyfield's town centre has cafes and supplies within easy reach. Free self-parking is available on-site.

Who it suits. Good for dogs that are calm around other animals and owners happy with a low-key, self-sufficient farm stay rather than a resort with pet amenities laid on.
Confirm pet details when you book, since exact fees and room eligibility can vary by season. Go for the quiet and the farm setting, not for polished dog infrastructure.
