Hay Point Country Bed & Breakfast

Hay Point Country Bed & Breakfast at 45 Droughtmaster Drive is a rural-style property on quiet acreage south of Mackay, and it genuinely welcomes dogs: pets stay free, and unlike most B&Bs they are allowed inside the unit with you. It suits owners who want a low-stress coastal-country base rather than a token pet-tolerant motel room.

Dogs at the B&B

Pets stay free per the booking listings, and they stay inside with you, which makes this a strong option for anxious dogs who cannot be left outside alone. The accommodation is a private, spacious self-contained unit separate from the owner's home, so your dog has its own space without shared hallways. Booking sites note larger dogs can be accommodated by prior arrangement, so flag your dog's size when you book. Bring your own pet bedding and bowls, keep dogs on lead in shared areas, and clean up after them.

The place

Expect air-conditioned rooms with queen beds, full kitchen and dining, and private outdoor space. A full breakfast is included, evening meals are available with 24 hours notice, and the property keeps goats that guests regularly mention. There is a pool on site and green space around the property.

Pepsi: a working rural block with livestock means this is not the spot for a reactive dog. Ask the hosts about their animals before you book.

Close by with the dogs

Sarina Beach and Hay Point are close by for coastal walks, with on-lead and off-lead times posted by Mackay Regional Council. For a proper run, the Sarina off-lead dog park is about twelve minutes south. If you want a meal out, the Tandara Hotel and Roots Collective Cafe are both in Sarina.

Getting there

The property is reached by car off the Bruce Highway via Sarina Beach Road, with free parking on site. Book ahead during school holidays and peak winter travel, when Mackay-region pet-friendly accommodation tightens up. Good for well-socialised dogs and owners who want a rural base with real facilities.
