Cedar Creek Retreat Cottages in Herons Creek, NSW, is a self-contained, two-bedroom farm-stay roughly 25 minutes from Port Macquarie. The defining reason to book with a dog is straightforward: this is a genuine pet-friendly rural property where dogs are permitted indoors, so your dog stays beside you in the cottage rather than being relegated to an outside kennel.
The pet policy. The property is pet-friendly and dogs are generally allowed inside the self-contained "Cedar View" cottage. Pet fees may apply, so contact the hosts directly to confirm the amount before booking. Bring your own water bowl, food, and bedding.
The place. A two-storey, rustic cedar cottage with Hastings Valley views, sleeping six to eight people. Wide-open rural spaces surround the cottage for dogs to explore. The property operates as a mini farm-stay with resident sheep, goats, and alpacas. Guests can join the owners hand-feeding the animals in the afternoon.
