There’s refreshments on arrival for both hounds (treats) and humans (beers and wine), and they’ll even make arrangements to pat, walk and feed your dog while you’re out wetting your whistle at the local pub or visiting a nearby National Park.
The Getaway
Roleystone
For a pet that appreciates a great view, there’s the Getaway—Roleystone’s cute-as-hell cabin in the woods with 180 degree valley views. Built in the 1930s with beautiful bushland on all sides, every nook of the Getaway is filled with character. The ultimate relaxation destination, let sleeping dogs lie in front of the roaring fire, take in the views from the patio, get stuck into a book on the balcony, or take a dip in the pool surrounded by nature.
Sam The Tiny Cabin
Keysbrook
Cabin Sam proves it’s true what they say: size doesn’t matter. A tiny home on an expansive property, what Cabin Sam lacks in space it makes for in comfort and character. Sleeping four plus pets, there’s a generous sized bathroom, queen bed and two singles, a fully stocked kitchenette and outdoor BBQ. Expect visits from friendly horses, curious kangaroos and grazing sheep but don’t worry, there’s a fenced off area for dogs who aren’t so sure about farm animals and wildlife.
Toodyay Art Shack
Toodyay
Set amongst the hills on the banks of the Avon River, Toodyay’s Art Shack is an award-winning contemporary take on a classic Aussie shed. The artwork and architecture of this funky place make it a steal at around $175 a night, packed with images and sculptures from Western Australia’s finest artists and esteemed Paul Wakelam Architects behind the design. Rustic yet modern, raw yet refined, the Art Shack sleeps up to eight people and dogs are free to explore the property both inside and out.
Infinity Chalet
Margaret River
Let your dog be the third wheel and indulge in a little bit of luxury at Margaret River’s Infinity Chalet. Inside, this uber-romantic cabin is fitted out with a king bed, steam shower, spa bath, comfy couch (with covers for grubby paws), fully equipped kitchen and fireplace. Through the doogy door there’s private views of the river, ocean glimpses, towering gum trees and lush green grass for endless games of fetch. Though there’s no main roads nearby, the rural property is not fully fenced, so if you have a dog with a tendency to go walk-about it’s best to keep them on a lead.
Sola Gratia Country Stay
Bullsbrook
If you’re a fan of all creatures great and small, Sola Gratia Country Stay is for you. Here at this homely farm stay in the Swan Valley, you’ll find roaming kangaroos, ducks on the dam, sheep, alpacas, a donkey and a miniature horse—all friendly and approachable. Animals aside, the pièce de résistance of Sola Gratia is the private lake in the centre of the space, complete with an adjacent enclosed yard for pets and a rowboat for your very own Notebook moment.

The ideal seaside escape for pets and their owners, it’s well worth the three hour drive.

Two outdoor baths for synchronized soaking, a roaring fire for cosy cuddles, idyllic bushland and… a stripper pole?
