BILL'S Villa 1 & Villa 2

BILL'S Villa 1 and Villa 2 are two side-by-side two-bedroom villas at 31 Grafton Street in central Coffs Harbour, both set up for pets with secure private courtyards. They suit dog owners who want a self-contained base in town rather than a caravan park site, and the pair can be booked together, which works for extended families travelling as a pack with two dogs and two households.

Dogs at BILL'S Villa 1 and Villa 2

Pets are welcome but must remain outside: the listing's house rules are explicit that the outdoor courtyard is the pet zone and dogs stay out of the indoor living areas. The private, fenced courtyard has a grassed area, so there is real space for a dog rather than a balcony. Tell the hosts how many pets you are bringing when you book, because extra charges can apply for more than one animal. Guests are responsible for their pets and for cleaning up for the whole stay, and the hosts ask that pets are not left unattended at the property, so plan your days around the dog.

The place

Each villa sleeps up to four guests and is fully self-contained, with the villas positioned for walking rather than driving: Park Beach and the central shopping side of Coffs Harbour are both within walking distance of Grafton Street. The pair arrangement suits families travelling together who want separate bedrooms but a shared fence line between the two courtyards.

Getting there and parking

Grafton Street runs off the eastern side of the Coffs Harbour city centre, a few minutes from the Pacific Highway exits and an easy walk down to Park Beach and Ocean Parade. Each villa has its own off-street parking, so you can keep the car loaded and the dog crates out of the weather.

Close by with the dogs

For off-lead time, the North Wall Beach Off-Leash Area is the closest dog beach to town, and the Thompsons Road Reserve Fenced Dog Park is the fenced option nearby. The Coffs Creek Walk and Cycleway is an on-lead path loop from the town side. If the villas are booked, Reflections Coffs Harbour - Holiday Park takes dogs on sites. More options are on the NSW dog-friendly stays page, and the Coffs Harbour destination guide covers the town.
