The lead. Willowview Farmstay is a self-contained house and tiny home set on a 100-acre working farm at Brayton, in the Southern Tablelands, about 10 minutes from Marulan and 25 from Goulburn. The main drawcard for dog owners is space: a fully fenced garden at the house, plus the run of a 5km driveway across open farmland, so a dog gets a proper stretch of the legs rather than a courtyard sniff.
The pet policy. Dogs are welcomed as part of the family here, not tolerated as an add-on. The main house has a fully fenced garden, and the tiny home option is also fenced. Beyond the fenced garden, dogs can range across the property's driveway and paddocks, though guests are asked to respect the working farm and the family's own home. Bring your own food and bedding, this is a farm stay, not a pet-focussed resort, so extras like bowls or treats are not guaranteed to be supplied. Specific pet fees are not published, so confirm the current policy and any charge directly with the host at booking.
Watch-outs. There are dams on the property. Keep a close eye on dogs that are not strong swimmers or that chase birds, and supervise around water at all times. The farm also runs alpacas, horses, donkeys and poultry, so a dog that is reactive around livestock will need to stay leashed near the animal paddocks.
The place. Expect an open fireplace, a large deck with farm views, and an outdoor fire pit. Phone reception is patchy, which suits the switch off pitch of the stay but is worth knowing if you rely on a phone for a vet contact in an emergency.

Location and nearby. Marulan, about 10 minutes away, has cafes for a coffee stop, including Meridian Cafe and Lazy George Cafe. Goulburn, about 25 minutes away, has several fenced off-leash dog parks (Victoria Park, Riverside Park and Eastgrove Park among them) if your dog needs a proper run after the drive. Access is via the M31, exiting towards Marulan and following George Street onto Brayton Road.
Who it suits. Good for owners after a genuine switch-off with a farm-savvy, sociable dog that is comfortable around livestock and open water. Less suited to a dog that is reactive around animals or an anxious swimmer, given the on-site dams.
When to go. Book ahead, this is a small, popular stay with only two dwellings. Confirm the pet fee and any weight or breed conditions directly with the host before you pay, and pack your own food, bedding and a lead for the driveway walks.
