Sydney Executive Garden Apartments

Sydney Executive Garden Apartments is a small apartment stay at 7 Preston Avenue in Engadine, set in a secure, private garden and marketed by its owner as dog friendly near Sydney. It's the rare combination for this part of the Shire: apartment-style accommodation where the dog is actually invited, with Engadine station close by for the train into the city.

Dogs at the apartments

The property's own website is the authority: dogs are welcome, and the whole pitch is a garden setting that works for a dog that appreciates a quiet, fenced outdoor space. What the published details don't spell out is weight or size limits, pet fees, or whether every unit takes dogs, so phone direct before booking to confirm the pet terms and a rate. That step matters more than usual here, because some third-party booking platforms list this property as no-pets - book with the operator, not an aggregator. Bring your own dog bedding and bowls, and confirm at booking whether dogs can be left in the apartment unattended.

The setting

Engadine is a leafy suburb on the edge of the Royal National Park in Sydney's south. Guests consistently highlight the location and the train proximity - the Illawarra line runs straight to the city, so you can leave the car parked and the dog settled in the garden while you do Sydney. Note that the Royal National Park itself is a national park where dogs are prohibited, so plan dog walks for the Shire's council spaces rather than the park trails.

Getting there and parking

Preston Avenue sits in Engadine's residential streets, a short drive from the Princes Highway and an easy walk to the station. Parking is on site and private.

Close by with the dogs

Heathcote Dog Off Leash Park is the closest proper off-leash run, one suburb south, and Engadine's own town centre has dog-welcoming cafes including KVS Cafe for a morning coffee stop.
