The critical detail for dog owners: pets are considered on application only and the property is not fully fenced.

Dogs at Innistaigh Retreat

According to the property’s Airbnb listing, pets are considered on application only, not automatically accepted. You must contact the host directly before booking to confirm your pet will be approved. Pets are not permitted on furniture or beds. The property is not fully fenced, which means it is not suitable for dogs that require a secure, enclosed area to roam safely off-lead. A pet fee of $60 applies, and failure to follow the pet rules, including not cleaning up after your dog or allowing it on furniture, results in a $200 cleaning fee.

The place

Guest feedback is consistently strong, referencing an amazing house, a peaceful atmosphere and welcoming hosts in a beautiful spot. Beyond what reviewers mention, specific room configurations and on-site amenities are not detailed in the available material, so it is worth confirming particulars with the host when you submit your pet application.

Close by with the dogs

Mount Mellum puts you in the Sunshine Coast hinterland with Landsborough, Maleny and the Glass House Mountains all within reach.

If your dog needs a proper off-lead run, Pioneer Park Fenced Dog Park in Landsborough is the safest enclosed option in the area.

Max: always do a perimeter check on arrival at any unfenced property. Identify sight lines and any gaps a determined dog could squeeze through before you even unload the car.
