Valley Ranges Getaways

Valley Ranges Getaways runs cottage accommodation in Olinda with old-world charm, spa baths and fireplaces. Dogs are welcome, but only in selected pet-friendly properties, so the booking detail matters more than usual here.

The pet policy. Pets are permitted only in specific designated properties, such as Elliott Lodge, not across the whole portfolio. A pet cleaning fee of $60 applies. There is no stated size limit, but pets must be declared. Pets are not allowed on beds or furniture, and you must bring your own pet bedding, bowls and food. Booking a pet into a non-pet property carries a penalty, so confirm the right cottage.

The place. Cottages with spa baths, fireplaces, comfortable beds and an old-world feel, popular for romantic stays and wedding-party accommodation.

Location and nearby. In Olinda, handy to the village and the Dandenongs trails and off-leash areas for walking the dog.

Before you book. Make sure you are booking a designated pet-friendly property, declare your dog, and confirm the fee and rules directly to avoid the non-pet-property penalty.

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