Hanalei - Professional Holiday Homes

Hanalei is a renovated waterfront cottage in Myola on the northern shores of Jervis Bay, listed by Professional Holiday Homes as pet friendly and sitting directly opposite the water. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a fully fenced garden make it one of the more relaxed self-contained options in the area for travelling with a dog.

Dogs at the Hanalei

Dogs are welcome inside the cottage but must stay off the furniture and beds, so bring a dog bed or blanket to cover the couch if yours likes to climb. The backyard is fully fenced, which is the main drawcard here: you can let the dog out off lead without a trip to the beach first. Extra charges can apply, guests sign a rental agreement covering the pet conditions, and extra cleaning fees come into play if pet hair is left on furniture or waste is not picked up. Confirm the current pet fee and any number limits at booking, and keep noise down for the neighbours, which the agreement also covers.

Worth knowing

It is a self-contained, air conditioned cottage with a back deck over bushland and mature trees, a quieter setting than the holiday parks nearby. Myola itself is low-key and residential, close to the water for an early walk before the day heats up, with wildlife rather than nightlife as the evening entertainment.

Getting there and parking

The cottage sits near Marine Parade in Myola, with off-street parking typical of a standalone house. Huskisson is a short drive over the water for shops and the wider Jervis Bay crowd.

Close by with the dogs

The waterfront is directly across the road for morning walks, and Callala Beach is a short drive with its own off-leash times, so check current council signage before unclipping. The Huskisson to Vincentia Shared Path makes an easy flat walk, Sea Dog at Woollamia works for breakfast, and Vagabunda Collaborative is the local coffee stop at Callala Beach. More options sit on the NSW pet friendly stays page and in the Myola guide.

Max: a fully fenced yard is the exception, not the rule, around here, so if that is the deciding factor for your dog, get it confirmed in writing before you pay a deposit.
