Athelney Cottage is a small self-contained cottage in Hackney, just east of the Adelaide CBD, and it takes dogs free of charge. It is a low-key, owner-run stay rather than a big chain property, so the pet arrangements are handled directly with the host rather than through a standard online policy page.
The pet policy. Dogs are welcome in both the cottage and the Executive Suite, with no pet fee. No firm size or breed limit is published, but specific rooms apply and availability for pet stays needs to be arranged directly with the property, ideally when you book. Confirm the detail (which room, any conditions) with the owner before you arrive.
The place. Past guests mention a comfortable, clean stay with a washing machine on site, useful if a muddy walk is on the cards. It suits a couple or small family wanting a quiet base close to the city rather than a resort-style pet setup.
Location and nearby. Hackney sits close to the Adelaide Parklands and the River Torrens linear path, both easy for a walk with the dog, and it is an easy trip into the CBD or over to Norwood's cafe strip for a dog-friendly coffee stop.
Before you book. Ring or email ahead to confirm your dog is welcome for your dates and to check which room is available. As with any small owner-run stay, policies can flex, so get it in writing before you travel.
Best for a short, quiet stay close to the city with one well-behaved dog. Confirm pet arrangements directly with the owner before booking.
