Paddys Golden Patch

Paddys Golden Patch is a ground-floor, two-bedroom self-contained apartment (Unit 3) in Boulder, on the southern side of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, that accepts pets on request. If you are passing through the Goldfields with the dog, it is a straightforward private base with your own kitchen, living room and a terrace with barbecue facilities.

Dogs at Paddys Golden Patch

Pets are allowed on request. No pet fee is itemised in the major listings and no size or breed restriction is stated, but because approval is per booking rather than a standing policy, message the host through the booking platform before you commit and confirm the dog is approved in writing. Ask at the same time whether any deposit or clean-up conditions apply, since those can differ by booking channel. Bring your own dog bed, bowls and towels rather than assuming anything is provided.

The apartment

The unit is around 68 square metres on one level, sleeping up to two adults across two bedrooms, with a bathroom combining bath and shower. The kitchen is set up for real cooking with an oven, microwave and toaster, and there is air-conditioning and free WiFi throughout. A private entrance and a terrace with outdoor seating and a barbecue round it out. Guest feedback is mixed on cleanliness and upkeep, so it is worth skimming the most recent reviews before you book.

Getting there and out with the dog

Boulder sits about five minutes south of central Kalgoorlie, with the airport a short drive away. South Boulder Dog Exercise Area is the nearest spot for an off-lead run, and Oil & Spice Cafe and Restaurant in town works for a coffee stop. If this one is booked out, Corella Accommodation and Discovery Parks - Kalgoorlie Goldfields are other Boulder options.

More Goldfields choices are on the WA dog-friendly stays list, with local notes in the Boulder destination guide.
