Banksia Luxury Villa

Banksia Luxury Villa is a high end self contained villa on a quiet 2.5 hectare property at Burnside, a short drive from Margaret River town. It takes dogs, but on clearly stated terms that narrow the field: one small non shedding dog, never left alone. For the right travelling pair, a couple with a well mannered poodle type who plans every outing around the dog, it is a genuinely luxurious base with a secure courtyard to match.

Dogs at the Banksia Luxury Villa

The policy is strict and worth reading before you fall in love with the photos. Only one dog, and it must be non shedding, with the breed disclosed to the owner at booking. A 10% pet surcharge applies, payable on arrival, and a 100 dollar cleaning fee follows if any pet hair is left in the villa. The dog cannot be left unattended at any time, so there are no leisurely human-only lunches here unless the dog comes along or you stay in. The payoff is a large private enclosed north facing courtyard, part deck and part grass, where the dog can safely be outside with you while you cook on the BBQ. The villa itself runs to a full kitchen, smart TV and laundry, set on roughly six acres of tranquil grounds with room to wander on lead.

Worth knowing

The setting is rural, so you will drive everywhere, including to town for coffee and groceries. Confirm the non shedding rule, weight limit, surcharge and no unattended policy in writing when you book rather than assuming a pet friendly room is simply available. Guests consistently rate the hosts, cleanliness and beds, which matters when the villa is the whole holiday rather than a sleepover stop.

Max: The enclosed courtyard is the safe spot to relax, but the dog can never be left alone in the villa. Plan outings around taking the dog with you.

Close by with the dogs

Burn off energy at Brookfield Dog Park in town, then plan dog friendly tastings at places like Cape Mentelle or Passel Estate, where dogs are welcome outdoors with notice. More trip planning lives under Margaret River and WA pet friendly stays.
