FigTree Retreat

FigTree Retreat is an eco-friendly glamping property in Oura, roughly 24 minutes’ drive from Wagga Wagga. For dog owners the draw is specific: it is a working farm stay with a single designated pet-friendly glamping tent, capped at two small pets.

Dogs at FigTree Retreat

Dogs are permitted in one designated glamping tent only, not across the whole property. The hard limit is two small pets. Because FigTree Retreat operates as a working farm with livestock, dogs must be kept on a lead if they are not stock-proof or not experienced around other animals. There are no confirmed on-site pet amenities, so plan to bring everything your dog will need for the stay.

The place

Expect a rural, eco-friendly setup rather than a standard motel room. Glamping tents here feature king mattresses and glamping bathrooms. Shared site features include a repurposed shearing shed, a hot tub and plunge, a sauna, a fire pit and luxury linen. Reviews consistently flag the farm tour and the friendly host as highlights.

Who it suits

Owners of small, lead-walkable dogs who want a quiet rural break with genuine farm character. This is not the booking for large breeds, off-leash exercise or dogs that react badly to stock. The setting is built around livestock and other guests, so the stay leans on shared amenities and calm, on-lead behaviour.

Close by with the dogs

The retreat sits within 1 km of the main road, with private vehicle parking on site. Wagga Wagga is about 24 minutes away and holds the closest fenced off-leash parks and dog-friendly cafes in our directory: Narrung Street Fenced Dog Park and Wilks Park Off Leash Area for proper off-leash running, plus Carlo’s Wagga Wagga for a sit-down meal. Plan these as a Wagga stop either on the way in or the way home.

More of the region is on the Oura destination page, and the full state list is in the NSW stays index.

Max: a working farm means real livestock, real fences and real rules. Treat the lead as non-negotiable unless you are certain of your dog’s recall and stock sense, and keep the two-pet, small-dogs-only limit in mind before you book.
