Wombatalla Guest House

Wombatalla Guest House is a country homestead at 209 Tallowa Dam Road, about five minutes from the Kangaroo Valley village. Tall ceilings, wide wrap-around verandahs, antique furniture and a communal lounge with a wood-burning fireplace give it real old-world character, and it looks out over northerly views towards Morton National Park. It takes dogs, but the rules are specific and skew towards smaller dogs, so read the policy carefully before you commit.

Dogs at Wombatalla

Up to two dogs are allowed, with a size limit of under 10 kg. A pet fee of around AU$120 per pet per stay applies. Dogs are permitted in the tiled areas of the home only, are not allowed on the furniture, and need prior approval before you arrive. Here is the catch worth knowing: pet listings disagree about this property. Booking platforms list it as no-pets, while BringFido carries the small-dog rules above. Treat anything short of direct confirmation as unverified and get written confirmation of the pet policy, the fee and the tiled-area rule from the guest house at the time of booking.

The place

The house is built in the style of a traditional Australian homestead, with generous rooms and period details. It sleeps up to eight guests and can be booked on a per-room bed and breakfast basis or as an exclusive whole-house self-contained rental. The setting is private and quiet, and reviews lean on words like peaceful and relaxing rather than action packed. It suits owners of one or two small dogs who want a calm, hosted stay and are comfortable keeping the dog to tiled areas and off the furniture.

Close by with the dogs

The village is a five minute drive, where The Friendly Inn Hotel welcomes dogs in its outdoor areas and Valley Bliss Eatery is the cafe option nearby. Kangaroo River access points around the valley suit on-lead walks between stops.
