Woodstone Cottages

Woodstone Cottages is a self-contained cottage stay on a large, quiet rural property near Dunsborough, with several dog-friendly cabins and resident kangaroos around the dam. It suits owners after space and a bush setting rather than a walk-to-town base.

The pet policy. Dogs stay in designated cottages only, named Goanna, Grasstree, Possum and Kookaburra. There is a strict limit of two pets per house, prior approval is required, and a pet fee of $35 per night applies. Pets are not allowed on furniture or in the bedrooms and must not be left unattended. Owners must clean up after their pets, or a $200 cleaning fee may apply. Confirm the dog-friendly cottage and the rules at booking.

The place. Cabins on a large property with a fireplace, BBQ and dam and lake views, valued for its quiet atmosphere and the kangaroos around the grounds.

Location and nearby. Set on rural land near Dunsborough, so it is a drive to the foreshore and town; the appeal is on-property space and walks rather than walk-in beach access.

Who it suits. Owners with up to two dogs who want a peaceful bush stay with room to move and do not mind driving to the beach.

Before you book. Request a dog-friendly cottage specifically, confirm the per-night pet fee, and keep dogs leashed around the resident wildlife on the property.
