Tallywood

Tallywood is a boutique block of three unique apartments at 44 Sleath Street in Auchenflower, run by Rylance Homes and sitting on the Auchenflower side of the Rosalie Village strip. What earns it a place on a dog owner's shortlist is unit three, the Spanish-styled Tallywood 3, which comes with its own fully fenced dog yard and private entrance. A genuinely secure yard this close to the Brisbane CBD is uncommon, and it is the reason to pick this property over a generic inner-city apartment.

Dogs at Tallywood

Pets are welcome, but management expects you to ask first and confirm conditions before booking, so make contact rather than assuming. The published house rules exclude pets in season and excessive shedders, keep dogs off carpeted areas and all furniture, and require you to clean up after your dog. Fees and conditions vary by booking platform, so confirm the pet charge for your dates. The key practical detail: only some of the three units have the fenced yard setup, so if the yard is the reason you are booking, state clearly that you want Tallywood 3 and get that confirmed in writing.

The place

The property mixes Queenslander and Spanish hacienda styling, and the units function more like small houses than hotel apartments, with outdoor living space, and garden, patio and barbecue areas depending on which unit you take. Tallywood 3's yard sits down a few steps from an outdoor dining and barbecue area, which is a comfortable spot for morning coffee with a dog settled nearby. Free private parking is on site, a genuine plus this close to the city, and Rosalie Village's shops and cafes are an easy walk. Some nearby footpaths are patchy, worth knowing if your dog pulls on lead.

Pepsi: ask for Tallywood 3 by name when you book, because the fenced yard is what makes this stay work for a dog and the other apartments are not set up the same way.

Close by with the dogs

The standout nearby is Milton Park Fenced Dog Park, a short trip toward Milton, and Frew Park in Milton adds a large off-leash area a little further on. Mount Coot-tha is close for a bigger bushwalk under normal on-leash park rules. For food, several cafes along Milton Road keep dog-friendly outdoor seating, and the leafy residential streets around Sleath Street suit a quiet evening walk.
