The Jetty House Jervis Bay

The Jetty House Jervis Bay is a four-bedroom holiday house on Catherine Crescent at Myola, at the quiet end of Callala Bay and only a few dozen steps from the water. It is a genuinely dog-friendly stay: dogs of any size are welcomed, and the property comes with a fully fenced yard, so this is a pick for owners who want their dog to actually run around rather than stay leashed all trip.

Dogs at the Jetty House

Dogs of any size are accepted, with no additional pet fee mentioned in the listing, but pets need to be pre-approved before your booking is confirmed, so flag your dog, its size and how many when you enquire. The fenced yard and a covered outdoor deck are set up for pets, and the deck appears to be the intended overnight spot for dogs rather than the bedrooms. Some listings suggest dogs are kept off furniture and out of bedrooms, and accounts of exactly where dogs can go inside vary, so confirm the house rules directly with the owner at booking.

Max: this is a deck-and-yard stay for the dog, not a under-the-doona stay. If indoor sleeping is non-negotiable for your crew, sort it with the host before paying.

The place

A casual waterfront house sleeping up to ten guests, with a converted garage area known as The Retreat holding a pool table, dartboard and jukebox for downtime between beach trips. On-site parking is available, and the topic that comes up most in guest feedback is the setting: kangaroos on the lawn, a tranquil street and easy water access.

Getting there and parking

Myola sits at the northern tip of Jervis Bay, reached through Callala Bay or by the Myola ferry from Huskisson. The house is within easy walking distance of the sand and the Myola ferry terminal, with a coastal track running towards the Callala Bay boat ramp. On-site parking is available.

Close by with the dogs

Callala Beach itself has off-leash hours, generally early morning and late afternoon, so check the signage on arrival. Vagabunda Collaborative in Callala Beach is dog-friendly indoors and out, and other pet-friendly bases nearby include Grey Gables in Callala Bay and Tasman Holiday Parks Myola.

More options are on the New South Wales dog friendly stays guide and the Callala Beach destinations page.
