Waterfalls

Waterfalls is a secluded one-bedroom stone cottage at 70 Hunters Road in Basket Range, set on a working Angus cattle property above Sixth Creek in the Adelaide Hills. The private grounds carry a pine forest, garden walks and the cottage's namesake waterfall, and dogs are welcome with a bit of notice.

The dog setup

Tell the hosts you are bringing a dog when you book. The South Australia tourism listing prices pets at $40 per stay with a maximum of two, and the house rule is simple: dogs stay off the furniture and beds.

The setting is genuine dog country, with private walking trails through the pine forest and along the garden, all under your supervision on a working farm. It is fully self-catering, so bring your dog's own food, bowls and bedding.

Worth knowing

The cottage sleeps two, with a spa bath, central open fireplace, kitchenette and an outdoor barbecue on a front patio shaded by an old Royal Oak. This is a couples' escape rather than a group property, best for owners who want seclusion over amenities and are happy settling ground rules by phone or email, since there is no reception desk.

Getting there and parking

Basket Range sits in the central Adelaide Hills, reached by car via the scenic routes such as Lobethal Road, with private on-site parking beside the cottage. Lobethal and Lenswood are the closest villages for supplies.

While you are out there

Several Hills cellar doors welcome dogs outside: the Golding Wines and Tilbrook Estate at Lobethal, and the Anderson Hill Cellar Door Restaurant at Lenswood. The Balhannah Dog Park covers a fenced run. More options are on the South Australia dog friendly stays guide and the Basket Range destination page.
