The Haus Studios

The Haus Studios is a row of self-contained studio apartments right on Hahndorf's Main Street, and the reason dog owners book it is simple: dedicated dog-friendly studios in the middle of the town strip, so the car can stay parked for the whole stay. Cafes, pubs and the heritage walk all start at the front door.

Dogs at The Haus Studios

Only some studios are set up for dogs, and the property asks for advance booking on the pet option because the number is limited. Dogs must be toilet-trained and supervised at all times. The pet fee is not published, so confirm the charge for your dates with the reservations team when you book, along with any rules about leaving your dog alone in the studio.

The studios themselves run to a king bed or twin-share setup, a private bathroom, a kitchenette, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi and a small outdoor patio. Guest reviews consistently describe them as well presented, and the courtyard setting gives your dog a patch of outdoors without you leaving the strip.

Max: book the pet studio by name when you reserve, and ask the reservations team to confirm the fee and the unattended-dog rule for your dates. The dog-friendly rooms are limited and they go first on weekends.

Getting there and out with the dog

The studios sit on Main Street in the middle of Hahndorf's heritage precinct, so you park once and walk. The town's dog-friendly outdoor dining is steps away, including the terrace at The Haus Restaurant next door and the beer garden at the German Arms Hotel, with Bracegirdle's Hahndorf further along the strip for a morning coffee stop. The whole Main Street walk is on-lead.

If you want a yard rather than a town-base studio, Discovery Parks - Hahndorf on Mount Barker Road takes a different approach with park-style sites and cabins. More options are on the South Australia pet friendly stays guide and the Hahndorf destination page.
