Harrowfield House Ballarat

Harrowfield House is a whole three-bedroom house in Ballarat Central, let as a complete unit rather than by the room, and it takes dogs. The detail that matters most if you travel with one is attached: a fully fenced rear yard, so the dog can go out without a lead while you finish your coffee.

Dogs at the Harrowfield House

Pets are allowed and the fenced rear yard is the published standout. Beyond that, the listing does not spell out pet fees, weight or number limits, so treat the booking call as the moment to confirm charges and any restrictions directly with the property. With three bedrooms and the yard, it suits families or two couples travelling with a dog rather than a single-room stopover.

The central position puts the CBD's footpath cafes and the Sturt Street gardens within walking distance, which makes morning and evening lead walks easy without getting in the car.

While you're out there

For off-lead time, Victoria Park dog park has wide open space just south of the lake precinct, and Pierre De Coubertin Fenced Dog Park adds a fully fenced option near Lake Wendouree. The 6-kilometre flat track around Lake Wendouree is the classic on-lead walk, and the adjacent Botanical Gardens welcome dogs on lead. In the CBD, Earls Deli is one of the central cafe options for an outdoor table.

Max: the fenced yard is real, but ask about pet fees and limits when you book because the listing does not publish them.

Worth knowing

If you would rather compare, Bobby Three One Oh is another central Ballarat stay that takes dogs, and the VIC dog friendly stays page covers the wider region around Ballarat Central.
