Yes, Lewana Cottages - Balingup WA allows dogs to stay overnight in their accommodation, specifically in their pet-friendly cottages. Pet Policy Summary - Rooms/Accommodation: Dogs are allowed in designated pet-friendly cottages, which feature fenced-in gardens (e.g., Gillick's Cottage). - Fee: There is a fee of $20 per pet per night. - Requirements: Pets must be arranged prior to arrival. - Size Limit: While they are generally dog-friendly, it is best to confirm specific size or breed restrictions directly with the owners, as they have their own friendly dogs on site.

Lewana Cottages sits on fifty acres of pine plantation and natural bushland at Southampton, just outside Balingup, and it takes dogs in its designated pet-friendly cottages and campsites. If you want a genuine bush stay rather than a manicured resort, this is it - quiet, treed, and close to two of the South West's best trails.

The pet policy. Dogs are welcome in pet-friendly cottages such as Gillick's Cottage, which has a fenced garden, and on the pet-friendly camping and caravan sites. There is a fee of $20 per pet per night, and pets must be arranged with the owners prior to arrival. A maximum of two dogs per booking applies. Dogs are not permitted on the furniture or bedding, so bring your own bedding or a crate, and pick up after your dog on the property.

The place. Cottages are self-contained and wooden-built, set among mature trees with plenty of space to let a dog stretch its legs on lead. Bring your own food and water bowls - this is a rustic, back-to-nature property rather than a fully serviced hotel.

Getting there. The property is at 2110 South Western Highway, Southampton, just off the highway and a short drive from Balingup town centre. Parking is available at both the cottages and the campsites, including space for caravans.

the property borders bushland with local wildlife, so keep dogs under control outside the fenced cottage gardens, especially around dusk.

Nearby with the dogs. Lewana backs onto sections of the Bibbulmun Track and the Munda Biddi Trail, both good for an on-lead walk before breakfast. Balingup township, a few minutes away, has cafes with outdoor seating, and several wineries around Bridgetown and Nannup welcome dogs if you call ahead.

When to go. Cooler months suit the bush setting best, and booking the fenced Gillick's Cottage in advance is worth it if your dog needs to roam off lead safely. Good for dogs used to rustic, quiet surrounds rather than manicured gardens.
