The River is a self-contained, pet-friendly holiday home within walking distance of the Margaret River town centre and the riverside walking trails. For travellers who want the dog to stay with them and a fenced yard to relax in, it is a practical town base rather than a resort.
The pet policy. The property welcomes dogs and has a fully fenced yard to keep them secure. You must tell the property manager you are bringing a dog at the time of booking, and you are responsible for leaving the house clean on departure. Confirm any pet fee and the number and size of dogs allowed directly with the booking agent, as these are set per stay.
The place. It is a fully self-contained house with a private courtyard, suited to families and small groups who want their own space close to town. Bring your own pet bedding, food and bowls, as these are not provided.
Location and nearby. The home sits a short walk from the town centre, cafes and the scenic river walk. The Wadandi Track is an easy dog-walking option, and several regional cellar doors welcome dogs in their outdoor areas.
Before you book. Confirm the pet fee, dog numbers and any size limit in writing, and ask whether the managing agent offers a pet-sitting service if you plan a day out without the dog.
