Billabong Falls

Billabong Falls is a private, fully self-contained holiday house in Olinda, set in gardens with views across the ranges. It promotes itself as pet-friendly, with dogs allowed by prior arrangement, which suits a couple or small group wanting a quiet weekend with the dog.

The pet policy. Pets are allowed but sleepovers must be discussed and approved before your stay. Public listings do not spell out a size limit or pet fee, so this is one to clear directly. As a private holiday rental, the whole house is yours, which makes settling a dog in easier.

The place. A single private house, fully heated and air-conditioned, in established gardens. Guests mention the views, the ambience and the attention to detail, so it leans toward a romantic or restful getaway.

Location and nearby. In Olinda, close to the village and the Dandenongs walking tracks and off-leash areas for daily dog outings.

Before you book. Book through an authorised channel such as Airbnb and confirm the pet arrangement, any fee and the house rules before you arrive, since the policy is handled case by case.

Compiled from public sources and verified listings. Always confirm current rules with the venue or council before you travel.
