Lillypilly's Cottages & Day Spa

Lillypilly's Cottages & Day Spa is a Maleny cottage stay with hinterland valley views, and all of its cottages are pet-friendly, though the rules are quite specific about which dogs suit. It is a good fit for a couple with a small, low-shedding dog who want a quiet escape with spa facilities on site.

The pet policy. They welcome one small, non-moulting or low-moulting breed of dog per cottage, at management's discretion. Dogs must be well-trained and well-behaved and cannot be left alone in the cottage. Dogs are not allowed on the beds or lounges. A $100 cleaning fee applies if the rules are broken, so the breed and behaviour conditions are worth taking seriously.

The place. The cottages come with fireplaces, spa baths and large balconies looking over the valley, and there is a day spa on site. It is geared toward a relaxed, romantic stay.

Who it suits. A couple with one small, low-shedding, well-trained dog who will not be left alone in the cottage.

Before you book. Confirm your dog meets the small, low-moulting breed condition, plan to keep the dog with you rather than leaving it alone, and note the no-beds, no-lounges rule and the $100 penalty.
