Twomey's Cottage

Twomey's Cottage is a self-contained 1880s Victorian cottage at 13 St Andrews Street, Queenscliff, sleeping up to two guests across two bedrooms. It is one of the handful of heritage stays in town where dogs are possible, and the arrangement is simple: pets are allowed on request, so a call to the owner sorts the details before you book.

Dogs at the Twomey's Cottage

Approval is on request and charges may apply, and because pet arrangements can vary with availability, contact the owner directly on 0400 265 877 to confirm the rules and any fee for your dates. With a heritage cottage it is worth asking the specific questions: whether dogs can go inside, whether the outdoor area is fenced, and any size conditions. The cottage is listed through the Classic Cottages stable of Queenscliff properties.

The place

Expect authentic 19th-century seaside character with a full kitchen and your own front door, described at roughly 250 square metres, in the heart of Queenscliff. You are in walking distance of the town's cafes, pubs and the foreshore, so a stay here works as a car-free base once you have parked.

While you're out there

Point Lonsdale Dog Beach offers year-round off-leash access a short drive away. For coffee, The Salty Breeze Cafe in Princess Park welcomes dogs at its outdoor seating, and La Loca Cafe is another town option. If the cottage is booked out, BIG4 Ingenia Holidays Queenscliff Beacon takes pets on sites.

Before you book

Ring the owner on 0400 265 877 to confirm dogs for your dates and ask about any charge, since approval is case by case and the two-guest cap means it suits a couple travelling with a single well-mannered dog rather than a group.
