Yes, pets are welcome at Casuarina Cabins in Nelson, VIC, according to their listing. - Pet Policy: Pets are allowed, but conditions and charges apply. - Size/Restrictions: Specific size limits for pets are not listed publicly; it is recommended to contact them directly for clarification on restrictions. - Fees: Fees apply for pets. - Location: While a 2017 review (1.2.2) mentioned a potential no-pet policy, more recent 2026 data indicates they are pet-friendly, with pets permitted to stay in certain accommodation units (1.2.1).

Casuarina Cabins is a set of ten self-contained ensuite cabins on two acres of native gardens in Nelson, right near the Glenelg River mouth on the Victoria-South Australia border. It's a quiet, birdwatcher's kind of stop, and a handful of the cabins take dogs, which makes it a solid base for exploring the Lower Glenelg National Park and the Great South West Walk.
The pet policy. Dogs are welcome, but only in specific pet-friendly cabins, so book the right room type rather than assuming any cabin will do. Fees and conditions apply and aren't published in detail, so confirm the nightly pet surcharge and any size or breed restrictions directly with the property when you book.
The place. Cabins have kitchenettes, private ensuites and reverse-cycle air conditioning, plus a shared BBQ shelter, an outdoor fire pit and communal laundry. Bring your own dog bed and water bowl, keep dogs off the furniture, and don't leave a barky dog alone in the cabin for long stretches, since walls are close and neighbours will notice.
Location and nearby. The property is about 400 metres from the Glenelg River and 800 metres from Simson's Landing, with the Lower Glenelg National Park and Discovery Bay Coastal Park both within easy driving distance for on-lead walks. Nelson's cafes and pubs are a short drive away and several have outdoor seating that takes dogs.
Who it suits. Good for anglers, birdwatchers and hikers doing the Great South West Walk who want a comfortable base rather than a campsite. Less suited to owners wanting off-leash freedom right on the doorstep, since the grounds and nearby walking tracks are leash-only.

Book early in peak fishing and holiday season, since the pet-friendly cabins are a small subset of the total and go first.
