Capel Short Stay

Capel Short Stay is a fully self-contained three-bedroom apartment at 20 Forrest Road in the middle of Capel, a quiet South West WA town between Bunbury and Busselton. Queen beds in all three rooms sleep up to ten, and dogs are welcome on request, which makes it a practical group base with the dog in tow.

Dogs at Capel Short Stay

Pets are allowed subject to host approval, so contact the property before you book to confirm the arrangement. A small pet fee may apply depending on the stay. No size limit is published, which is worth confirming directly if you travel with a bigger dog.

The dog-relevant part of the setup is the shared alfresco area, which has a barbecue, garden and grassed space for a stretch between walks. Because the apartment runs fully self-contained, with a complete kitchen, reverse cycle air conditioning and secure parking, you can keep feeding and walking routines intact without much fuss.

The vibe

The apartment is described as clean, modern and recently renovated, and it sits walking distance from the supermarket, cafes and the local tavern. For dogs the rhythm is township walks plus drives to the coast: Peppermint Grove Beach and Forrest Beach are both a short drive west, with local stretches where dogs can run on the sand. Check Shire of Capel signage for the exact on and off leash zones before unclipping.

Getting there

Capel sits on the Bussell Highway corridor about 25 minutes south of Bunbury and under an hour from Busselton, so the apartment works as a day-trip hub for the whole Capel coastline.

While you're out there

For an off-lead run near Bunbury, Bibra Loop Dog Park at Dalyellup is a short drive north. If you would rather be on the sand, Peppy Beach Retreats and Telperio are other pet friendly stays close by. Browse more pet friendly stays in Western Australia or explore Capel.

Max: my own lawn at the back of the apartment, and the beach is only a short drive away.
