Cherry Top Farmstay ~ Boutique Eco Village

Cherry Top Farmstay is a working organic farm and eco-village about 20 minutes from Launceston, with rustic cabins, Earthship-style eco villas and camping sites set against valley and mountain views, and dogs allowed by arrangement.

The pet policy. Pet approval is by prior arrangement rather than automatic, and it is clearest for the unpowered camping and RV sites. Policy for the individual cottages and eco villas is less consistent across listings, so confirm directly with the property which specific room or site allows dogs before booking. Dogs must stay on a leash at all times to protect livestock and local wildlife, kept quiet, and supervised. Bring your own food, bedding and bowls, and ask about any pet fee when you book.

The place. It's a genuine working farm with organic vegetables, geese to feed and apple picking, plus sustainable buildings made from local clay and recycled materials. The setting is rural and quiet, so a settled, well-mannered dog will suit it far better than a barker.

Location and nearby. About 20 minutes from Launceston by car, along country roads that turn to gravel in places, so a vehicle comfortable on unsealed roads helps, especially towing a van. On-site parking is available, with some sites offering private parking. The Tamar Valley wineries and lavender farms nearby are worth a stop, though call ahead on their dog policies before you go.

Before you book. Confirm which specific accommodation type allows dogs, any weight or fee conditions, and the leash and noise expectations directly with the farm, since public listings are not fully consistent on cabin-by-cabin pet rules.

Good for a quiet countryside stay with a calm dog that is happy on a leash the whole visit. Book ahead and get the pet arrangement confirmed in writing.
