Cedar Cottages Blackmans Bay

Cedar Cottages is a small group of self-contained cottages and suites at 245 Roslyn Avenue in Blackmans Bay, a beachside suburb about twenty minutes south of Hobart. It is one of the more genuinely dog-tolerant stays in the Kingborough area: dogs of any size are accepted, up to four dogs per booking, and there is no additional pet fee.

Dogs at the cottages

The accommodation spans several properties, including the Country Cottage, Country Suite and Cedar Loft, and the pet setup varies between them. Select cottages have fully fenced yards, so check that the specific unit you are booking has one if a secure yard matters to your dog. House rules are clear that pets are strictly not allowed on the furniture at any time, and cats may be permitted on prior request. BringFido's listing backs the multi-dog and no-fee detail, but policies can shift per cottage, so confirm your unit, the fencing and the terms directly with the property when you book; Discover Tasmania still lists them as pet friendly on enquiry, on 03 6229 2532.

The place

Each cottage is self-contained with a comfortable kitchen and a washing machine, which guests flag as the practical extras that make a longer stay with a sandy dog workable. It is a quiet residential position in Blackmans Bay rather than a beachfront complex, with the bay's shops and foreshore a short drive away.

Out with the dog

The Suncoast Fenced Dog Park is the local fully fenced option for safe off-leash time, and the Dru Point Fenced Dog Park at Margate is another a few minutes south. The Kingston beaches to the north add sand-and-water walks under Kingborough Council's signage on the day. If the cottages are booked out, Waterview Gardens B&B at Margate is another pet-friendly option in the channel.
