About this cottage rental
Lawson's Cottage is a luxurious, self contained cottage, located in the heart of Geelong with a 4 1/2 star rating. With every stay, we provide you with full breakfast provisions including bacon, eggs, yoghurt, seasonal fruit, cereal and much more.
With easy access to Eastern Beach and only minutes from the CBD, South Geelong train station, the Barwon River, Landy Field and Simmonds Stadium, home to the Geelong Cats AFL team, Lawson's Cottage is the perfect location to stay while visiting Geelong.
Our self contained home has 2 well appointed bedrooms with luxurious cotton sheets, electric blankets (for those cold winter nights) with the Master room having its own television.
The Master room has a Queen size bed with a Double and Single bed in the Second bedroom. We can provide on request a port-a-cot if required. (Bedding is supplied for the extra beds)
Modern Features
Renovated in 1920's style with all the benefits of modern day living.
Our fully equipped kitchen includes a gas cooktop, oven, dishwasher, refrigerator and microwave oven. Quality utensils and crockery are included - perfect for home entertaining. Alongside the kitchen is our European laundry with Miele washer and dryer.
Step back in time with our deep clawfoot bath, great for relaxing. Our dual shower has two separate heads, ideal for sharing. BUT the best thing about our bathroom is the under floor heating, no cold feet in winter.
Relax in the evening with a glass of port and chocolates (provided for you) in front of our Gas Fire place. On the wall we have a 37 inch Digital TV - enjoy a movie from our extensive DVD collection.
TV not for you... please make use of our swap library. Bring a book from home and swap with one from our collection. Finish what you started while on holidays with us at Lawson's Cottage.

Gorgeous period cottage well modernised with all you need, spotlessly clean, with a cute back yard and nice sitting area. Host provided really nice touches including breakfast. Some train noise in the distance, close to football stadium and an easy walk into town

We had a fabulous two night stay in this superb cottage!
My husband and granddaughter loved the fact we were so close to GMHBA stadium. They enjoyed the football and the opening of the Joel Selwood Stand.
Everything you need is in the cottage. Thanks for the lovely breakfast goodies and delicious cookies. Hope we can stay again! Romany

Very impressed and will definitely stay again! So much attention to detail, the host thought of everything you could possibly need and anticipated anything you could want. The house was in a great location and was so beautifully presented. The listing didn’t do it justice!

Homely and inviting cottage
The cottage really felt like a home away from home. All the amenities and little touches that made it such a warm, cosy and comfortable stay. Especially with 2 young children! Nothing was too much trouble for the hosts.

Excellent Stay in Lawson's Cottage
My stay in Geelong was fabulous. The beautifully renovated cottage with a fantastic eclectic mix of old original and modern comforts was extremely clean with quality inclusions.
It was cosy and warm with a sensational bath and bathroom.
Easy walk into town (I am in my 60's) for Cafes/Resturants and the Bay walks are stunning.
All in all a wonderful stay.

Comfortable old world charm, but with all the modern conveniences.
Beautifully presented, very comfortable with literally everything you need - we didn't even have to go the supermarket. Gorgeous garden, loved having our coffee in the morning sunshine. Agree with everything the other five star reviews mention.

Lovely, comfortable 1920s-style cottage
This renovated house was comfortable, warm and welcoming, with a lovely 1920s style. It was perfect for our short family get-away and a great place to base ourselves while we explored Geelong and the region. It was within a short drive of Geelong's Eastern Beach for an afternoon swim. The host was helpful and we appreciated the delicious supplies for breakfast and treats.

Amazing Era Cottage
This cottage is really well kept, super cosy and very comfortable. We loved our stay and wished we were able to stay longer. The cottage is equipped with all you need to have dinner or a BBQ in (we did) and a Nespresso machine to kickstart the mornings. The outdoor area around the back is very well kept, very pretty and a really well thought out space. Our host was externally hospitable, kind and a pleasure to deal with. If we are looking for somewhere to stay in Geelong again, we will certainly book here again.

Fabulous Stay
While close to the train station, the sound from the trains could barely be heard. The home is beautifully refinished and the amenities were endless; fresh made cookies, a stocked refrigerator, heated floor in the bathroom, heated blankets, barbecue on the back deck. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND this property!

Absolutely charming cottage
We loved this cottage. So well appointed with everything we needed. Beautiful and clean. Comfortable beds and fluffy towels. Plenty for breakfast from bread, eggs, bacon, tomatoes, yoghurt, fruit milk and juice all in the fridge ready for us. Everyone loved the yummy homemade cookies too. We had perfect weather to enjoy the outdoor space as well. Although my favourite was how much history, character and charm oozed from this home. Will certainly be back 😊�

Lovely Cottage in Great Location
Our 2nd time at Lawson’s Cottage and everything was great again! Spotlessly clean, well equipped and thoughtful provisions supplied. Location was perfect for our needs. Hosts are friendly and very helpful.
5.0 / 5.0
Comfortable, convienent and everything provided.
The cottage is beautifully clean with all the modern facilities you need provided. A very generous supply of breakfast provisions included as well as quality coffee and a lovely touch of biscuits to enjoy with a cuppa.
We were lucky to enjoy being able to sit on the deck to enjoy both the morning sun and evening cool.
Parking off street also much appreciated. Local coffee spot (UNtitled) around the corner, and a Saturday farmers market at the primary school all really make for a nice ‘hood.
The convenience of the railway station so close also means the noise from trains is close, esp from the level crossing. Not terrible but just be aware for light sleepers to keep the windows closed.

Fantastic place to stay
The place was spotless, has terrific ambience - a mixture of old and new - with great attention to detail. Breakfast and snack supplies, good quality bedding and gowns, spare umbrellas, DVDs for old and young, games, books, lovely old china and modern table settings, a BBQ, outdoor setting, full laundry with spare laundry powder, a heated floor in the bathroom.
