Pet policy
Yes, Myrtlemae Farm in Balingup, WA welcomes dogs to stay overnight, but guests must "check with us first" to ensure it is suitable, according to their official house rules. Pet Policy Summary: - Approval Needed: You must contact the property before booking to confirm pet attendance, likely due to livestock on the property and on neighbouring properties. - Pet Policy Details: While official documentation confirms pets are welcome, it does not explicitly list a size limit or specify which rooms, though the property is a cottage, implying dogs would stay in the accommodation with you. - Fees: A
Myrtlemae Farm is a 24-acre property a kilometre from Balingup town centre, with a restored, rustic former-stables cottage bordering State Forest and the Racecourse Flora Reserve. Dogs are welcome, but this is a working rural property with livestock nearby, so the owners ask you to check in first.
The pet policy. Dogs are welcome to stay overnight, but you need to contact the property before booking to confirm your dog is suitable, largely because of livestock on site and on neighbouring farms. Official house rules don't list a set size limit or a fee, so confirm both directly when you check in. The cottage is separate from the main house, so you'll have the space to yourselves.
The place. The cottage has a rustic, hand-restored interior, with gardens, fruit trees and valley views over the Blackwood River. Bring your own bowls, bedding and food, as it is a private self-contained cottage rather than a serviced stay.
Getting there. The property sits just off the South Western Highway north of Balingup, down a treelined driveway, with free private parking on site. Let the owners know your expected arrival time in advance.

Nearby with the dogs. The adjoining State Forest and Racecourse Flora Reserve give direct access to walking trails from the property. Balingup's cafe-lined main street is about a kilometre away for a coffee stop.
When to go. Spring shows off the gardens at their best, and confirming your dog with the owners ahead of time is essential here, not optional. Good for well-behaved dogs comfortable around livestock and open rural land, less suited to dogs that chase.
