Pet policy
Yes, Grady's Riverside Retreat in Burrier, NSW, allows dogs to stay overnight in their accommodation (camping, caravan, and cabins), but it is subject to approval. - Pet Policy: Small pets are permitted on request, and the retreat is explicitly pet-friendly, welcoming well-behaved dogs. - Conditions: Dogs must be on leashes and supervised at all times.

One pet per site is enforced during peak times. - Cabins: D
Grady's Riverside Retreat is a rustic camping, caravan and cabin retreat on the Shoalhaven River in Burrier, about 20 minutes west of Nowra on the NSW South Coast. Dogs are welcome on request across the property, on leash, which makes it a solid pick for a low-key river weekend away with the dog.
The pet policy. Small pets are accepted on request rather than as a blanket policy, so confirm your dog is approved before you book, especially for cabin stays. Dogs must be leashed and supervised at all times, and owners are expected to pick up after them. One pet per site is enforced during peak periods, and there is a strict no-refund line if the rules are not followed. Bring your own bedding, bowls and food, this is a rural bush site with no dedicated dog amenities.
The place. The 17-acre property sits on the riverbank, with direct access for swimming, fishing and canoeing, plus a jetty and boat ramp dogs can be walked near on leash. The surrounding country is bushland, mountains and dairy paddocks, good for a wander on quiet roads. Facilities are geared to campers and van travellers first, cabins exist but check current pet eligibility for them directly before booking.
Getting there. Burrier is rural, about 20 minutes drive west of Nowra. Your exact site address is provided on booking confirmation. Parking is on-site at your booked spot. Mobile reception is generally workable on Telstra 4G, but do not rely on it for anything critical.
Nearby with the dogs. There is nothing dog-specific right in Burrier itself, but Nowra is about 20 minutes away with cafes and shops for a supply run or coffee.

When to go. Warmer months suit the river swimming and canoeing best, cooler months are quieter and calmer for a dog that is not keen on crowds. Good for owners after a low-fuss riverside camp rather than a resort stay, confirm your dog's approval at booking either way.
