Pet policy
Yes, Margaret House in Margaret River allows dogs to stay overnight in their accommodation. Based on their pet policy, here are the details: - Size Limit: All sizes are allowed, though they advise the Rural Cottage is more suitable for large dogs, while the Rural Studio is better for small-to-medium dogs. - Fees: While there is no standard nightly pet fee listed, the property states that costs for damage repairs to gardens or extra cleaning deemed necessary due to pets will be charged. - Which Rooms: Pets are allowed in all accommodation units (both Rural Cottage and Rural Studio). - Condition
Margaret House is a long-running pet-friendly couples' retreat on rural acreage about 2.5km from Margaret River town, with a rural studio and a rural cottage. It is one of the region's earliest dog-welcoming stays, and the published policy makes the setup genuinely easy for dog owners.
The pet policy. Dogs are allowed inside, but must be kept off furniture and bedding. No additional pet fee is listed, though owners are responsible for any garden damage or extra cleaning. Dogs should not be left unattended for long periods if they are prone to damage or noise. Confirm the current terms with owners Bruce and Rosie when you book.
The place. There are two units to match your dog. The rural studio has more secure fencing, which suits small or medium dogs and escape artists, while the rural cottage has more room to run and suits larger dogs or multiple pets. It is a couples-only venue with no children, set in quiet rural surrounds.
Location and nearby. Town is a 5 minute drive for cafes, the dog-friendly exercise areas at Prevelly and Gnarabup are nearby, and there are plenty of local nature trails for leashed walks.
