The Mook Mollymook

The Mook is a caravan and holiday park at Mollymook, running cabins, sites and a campground economy a short walk from the beach. It is the unpretentious end of the Mollymook accommodation market: families on annual pilgrimages, surfers sleeping cheap, and travellers who would rather spend their budget on the water than the room. Guest feedback flags comfortable and clean cabins alongside a BBQ area, pizza oven and games room, with honest acknowledgement that some cabins are dated.

Dogs at the Mook

Per the park's own FAQ, the property is pet friendly year round with no seasonal restrictions, which is unusual for a coastal park where most ban dogs in summer. You need to advise at booking for a pet-friendly cabin, dogs stay on lead in common areas, and you clean up after them. Cabins needing extra cleaning after a pet stay may incur a fee. The year-round stance makes this one of the few options for a summer holiday with the dog on this stretch of coast, provided you book the right cabin class.

Worth knowing

The park is close to the beach without being beachfront, and the walk is short enough to do barefoot with a coffee. Mollymook's cafes and the famous fish and chips at the beachfront are all within an easy stroll. Book ahead in January, when the whole town fills.

Getting there and parking

32 Ilett Street is off the beach side of Mollymook, about three and a half hours from Sydney and ten minutes from Ulladulla. Parking is at your cabin or site.

Close by with the dogs

Collers Beach gives dogs a proper run nearby, and the Milton Park fenced dog park is a good off-lead stop in the neighbouring town. Another stay option in the same area is Westmark Milton.
