Blackwattle Farm Bed & Breakfast and Farmstay

Blackwattle Farm is a 20-acre bed and breakfast and farmstay at 123 Old Peachester Road in the Beerwah hinterland, at the base of the Glass House Mountains. It does take dogs, but only in the Villa and only with prior approval, so this is a clear-the-dog-first property rather than a turn-up-and-see one.

Dogs at Blackwattle Farm

Placid, well-behaved dogs are welcomed on request, limited to the Villa accommodation. The property generally allows one pet, and aggressive or dangerous breeds are not accepted. Booking.com listings suggest pets are sometimes allowed at no extra charge, but that is exactly the kind of detail to confirm when you request approval rather than assume, so get the yes, the fee position and the unattended-dog rules in writing before you pay. You can reach management through the Blackwattle Farm website or on 0408 536 815.

The farm

Accommodation is a mix of cosy self-contained tiny houses and a spacious cabin, all private and air-conditioned, with an outdoor bathtub, fire pit and BBQ areas. Stays include breakfast, and the farm experience is the real draw: animal feeding with alpacas, miniature pigs and goats, Dexter cows, ducks and chickens, fresh eggs to collect, an organic garden, and resident farm dogs that guests describe as friendly. Reviews consistently call the cabins spotless. This is a genuinely dog-aware property rather than a merely tolerant one, but it is a working farm, so expect your dog to smell livestock everywhere.

Max: Keep your dog leashed around the animals and check the paddock boundaries before letting it wander, because a farm stay is full of smells and neighbours it cannot chase.

Getting there and parking

The farm is at 123 Old Peachester Road, Beerwah QLD 4519, a short drive from the Bruce Highway turnoff. Australia Zoo is about 10 minutes away, the Glass House Mountains villages are close, and the coast is roughly 30 minutes. Parking is on site at your accommodation.
