Coffs Coast Mountain Retreat is a pet-friendly cabin stay in Lowanna, a rural locality in the Orara Valley hinterland roughly 25-30 minutes inland from Coffs Harbour. The deciding fact is straightforward: both cabins come with private hot tubs and accept dogs overnight.
The pet policy. The retreat is listed as pet friendly, with both cabins (Cabin 1 and, the listing suggests, Cabin 2) accommodating pets. No size or weight restrictions appear in the public booking information, and the listing reads "Pet Friendly - Enquire" rather than publishing fixed terms. No pet fee, weight limit, or breed restriction is stated anywhere in the source material, so guests must confirm arrangements directly with the property before booking.

The place. Guests have highlighted three things across 11 reviews (the property holds a 4.8-star rating): the hosts, the relaxation, and the quiet atmosphere. Each cabin is fully equipped and includes a private hot tub. Beyond that, the source does not specify decor, views, or layout details, so expect a self-contained cabin in a rural mountain setting rather than a resort-style operation.
Location & getting there. Lowanna sits inland in the Orara Valley, about a 25-30 minute drive from Coffs Harbour. This is a hinterland base, not a beachfront stay, so you are trading coastal access for mountain quiet. The drive is inland from the coast, which is worth factoring in if you plan day trips to the waterfront.
Nearby with the dogs. Coffs Harbour, roughly 25-30 minutes away, gives you several dog-friendly options for a day out. For off-leash running, there is the Dog Off-lead Beach or the Thompsons Road Reserve Fenced Dog Park. For food and drink with your dog alongside, try Hub Cafe Jetty, Element Bar, or Latitude 30 Restaurant.
Who it suits. Owners after a quiet hinterland cabin with a private hot tub rather than a beachfront property. Because no pet fee, weight limit, or size restriction is publicly listed and the policy reads "enquire before booking," contact the retreat directly to confirm pet terms before you book.
