Noosa Valley Manor Boutique B&B

Noosa Valley Manor is a boutique B&B at 115 Wust Rd, Doonan, 15 to 20 minutes inland from Noosa Heads. It is a couples-oriented hinterland retreat with lush tropical gardens and a rainforest piazza, and unlike many boutique properties of its kind it takes well-behaved dogs on application rather than refusing them outright.

Dogs at the Noosa Valley Manor

The B&B accommodates small to medium-sized, house-trained dogs, and only dogs, because of guest allergy considerations. You must check with the owners before booking rather than arriving with a dog and negotiating on the doorstep, and a $50 pet fee applies. Dogs should not disturb other guests, which matters in a small boutique house, and the FAQ asks you to bring your own dog bedding, bowls and treats.

One practical catch: some third-party booking sites incorrectly flag the property as no pets, so book directly with the owners or confirm by contact first, both for the pet approval and for the room that suits a dog.

The vibe

This is a four-star boutique B&B with an eclectic, romantic feel, run personally by its hosts. Guests consistently single out the gardens, comfortable beds, relaxing atmosphere and the included breakfast. The grounds are generous for a dog owner: a rainforest piazza, pond, creek and water features across the property, so there is plenty of garden space between drives to the coast. It suits couples with a settled, well-mannered small or medium dog rather than families with a boisterous large breed.

Getting there

The address is 115 Wust Rd, Doonan QLD, in the quiet hinterland behind the Sunshine Coast. A car is recommended for the rural location. Noosa Heads and the beach suburbs are a 20-minute drive, and Eumundi and its markets are close by.

Close by with the dogs

Head for Noosa Heads Doggy Beach at the Noosa Spit for a proper off-leash swim, book a table at Alfresco's Garden Cafe in Eumundi for a relaxed meal with your dog at the table, or stop at Grind Cafe in Noosaville on the drive back.
