Rustic-Sunflower Guest House

Rustic-Sunflower Guest House is a rural stay at 22A Scriven Street in Mount Crosby, roughly 30 minutes from the Brisbane CBD, offering a self-contained cottage and a separate apartment among vineyard and valley views. It is run by hosts Jude and Mark, who keep their own dogs and a cat, and it is a genuinely pet friendly stay rather than a dog-tolerant one.

Dogs at the Rustic-Sunflower

Pets are welcome subject to arrangement, so flag the dog in your booking request or contact the hosts directly before you commit. The apartment is listed as dog friendly with an enclosed lawn, which means your dog can be let off lead right at the door, and the cottage adds a self-contained kitchen that makes feeding routines easy on longer stays. Fees, weight limits and numbers are not clearly published, so confirm them with the hosts, and bring your own bed and bowls since supplied pet gear is not documented. Be considerate of the resident animals too.

Pepsi: an enclosed lawn at the door means zoomies without a lead. Ask the hosts to point out the boundary when you arrive.

The vibe

Expect a peaceful, home-style stay with vineyard and valley outlooks from the main bedrooms, a garden and terrace to sit out on, and the quiet of a bushland-edge suburb. Guests consistently call out the welcoming hosts and the relaxed atmosphere. It suits a couple or small family using Mount Crosby as a base, not a big group.

Getting there and parking

The property is car access only with free private parking on site. It sits about 30 minutes from the Brisbane city centre, and the Brisbane River and Colleges Crossing Recreation Reserve are around ten minutes away for riverside walking with the dog.

While you're out there

Mt Crosby dog off leash park across the river gives a proper off-lead session, and Booker Place Park Fenced Dog Park at Bellbowrie is a short drive down the valley.
