The Waterfront Cottages

The Waterfront Cottages sit right on the water in Greenwell Point, with a private wharf and the kind of quiet that suits both dogs and their owners after a day of fishing or pottering along the Crookhaven River.

The pet policy. Well-behaved, loved pets are welcome to stay overnight. There's no enclosed yard on the property, so your dog needs to come with you whenever you leave the cottage rather than being left to wander outside alone. The available information doesn't spell out a size limit or exact fee, so mention your dog when you book to confirm any requirements or charges.

The place. Clean, comfortable cottages with water views and a private wharf, popular with guests for fishing and the general peacefulness of the setting.

Location and nearby. Greenwell Point is a small riverside village on the Crookhaven River, close to Nowra and the wider Shoalhaven. Pelican Rocks Cafe on Greenwell Point Road is dog-friendly and a short trip away, and the fenced off-leash dog park on West Street is handy for a proper run.

Who it suits. Good for owners after a low-key waterfront stay where the dog can be close by, rather than a resort-style property with lots of shared facilities.

Before you book. Confirm pet fees and any breed or number limits directly with the property, and remember there's no fenced yard, so factor in a lead or long line for outdoor time.

Quieter shoulder-season weeks tend to suit dogs best here, away from peak summer fishing crowds.
