Milkmans Cottage

Milkmans Cottage is a small, architecturally designed pet-friendly cottage in Hobart, around 44 square metres, with a secure north-facing courtyard. That enclosed sunny courtyard is the standout for dog owners, giving your dog a safe outdoor space of its own.

The pet policy. Dogs are welcome to stay overnight, with the secure courtyard making it well suited to small and medium dogs in particular. There is no specific pet fee mentioned in the public listing, but the host, Matt, asks that you get in touch about your dog before booking, so message ahead to confirm fit and any conditions.

The place. It is a compact, well-designed standalone cottage with its own enclosed, sunny courtyard. The self-contained setup suits a couple or solo traveller with a dog who wants privacy and a bit of outdoor room without a shared building.

Location and nearby. Based in Hobart, it puts the city's waterfront and CBD walks within reach for on-lead strolls, with larger green space at the Queens Domain a short distance off.

Who it suits. A strong fit for one or two travellers with a small to medium, well-mannered dog who will appreciate the secure courtyard. Larger dogs are worth checking on given the cottage is compact.

Before you book. Message Matt about your dog ahead of time to confirm suitability and any fee, and ask about courtyard fencing. Bring your own bed and bowls.
