Detailed DIRECTIONS TO LOVES LANE COTTAGES.

From the direction of Melbourne there are two ways:

1.  South Gippsland Highway (Route: A440). 2.5 hrs from Melbourne city but this is the most enjoyable drive.

Take the South Gippsland Highway through to Leongatha. You’ll come to a T-Intersection at the Strzelecki Highway (B460). Take the left turn toward Mirboo North. Drive approximately 3 klms until you get to a small road sign showing Mardan Road and turn right. Continue 16klms along Mardan Road and enjoy the scenery on both sides. You’ll come to a large green state road sign pointing right to Dumbalk and Meeniyan (the C455) – may also be sign posted “LOVES LANE” until someone takes it again . Turn right and travel about 1 klm down the hill. On the right you’ll see Loves Lane Cottages.

**Please also note that a GPS may route you a different way once you get to Leongatha. This will take you right, rather than left, at Leongatha and then via Meeniyan and Dumbalk. If you go this way, you’ll need to turn left at the C455 sign toward Mirboo North – this is Loves Lane – travel approx. 3 klms and our cottages are on the left clearly visible.
