Bunny Beach Farm Stay

Bunny Beach Farm Stay is a self-contained RV and caravan camp on a working farm at 493 Inman Valley Road, Back Valley, about 7km inland from Victor Harbor on the Fleurieu Peninsula. Sites sit beside Back Valley Creek under red gums with sheep and cows grazing in the paddocks, and dogs are welcome throughout, which makes this one of the genuinely pet-friendly bases near the south coast.

Dogs at the farm stay

Dogs are permitted, but they stay on a lead at all times. That is not a soft guideline: the property runs livestock alongside the guest sites, and the hosts expect dogs kept close and under control for the whole stay. There is no pet fee listed in current bookings and no published size or breed limit, and being a rustic farm camp there are no pet amenities either, so bring your own water bowls, treats and waste bags. If your dog needs a proper off-lead run, plan it in town rather than at the farm.

The place

This is strictly a self-contained vehicle park: caravans, motorhomes, big rigs and campers with their own toilet and shower facilities, not cabins or hotel rooms. Sites are large, flat and grass-and-gravel with easy 2WD access along a gravel road off Inman Valley Road, and short stays typically run up to five nights. Hosts Deb and Neil run the property and are known for friendly local tips, and the rating sits around 4.4 to 4.5 from the travellers who have stayed. Expect quiet, birdlife, and the occasional cow at the fence rather than park facilities.

Getting there and out with the dog

Turn off Inman Valley Road onto the gravel access and you are five to ten minutes from Victor Harbor's cafes, waterfront and shops. For the off-lead run your dog misses at the farm, the Victor Harbor fenced dog park is the secure option before heading back to camp. Yilki Store at Encounter Bay and Qahwa Coffee Roasters are both easy dog-friendly stops in town.

Worth knowing

Other pet-friendly bases in the area include Victor Harbor Holiday Park. More options are on the Back Valley destination page and in the SA stays index.
