Clyde's Cottage

Clyde's Cottage is a self-contained two-bedroom style cottage at 29 Clyde Street, Parkside, run by Harriett's Cottage Accommodation, a quiet residential street immediately beside the Adelaide South Parklands. It takes dogs for a $90 fee per stay, which makes it a rare genuinely pet-friendly whole-house option this close to the Adelaide CBD and Unley.

Dogs at the cottage

Pet stays must be requested and booked in advance, because the hosts need extra time to prepare the cottage for following guests, so flag the dog when you first enquire rather than tacking it on later. The published pet tariff is $90 per stay. Room and weight limits are not published, so confirm any size or number limits and the furniture rules directly with Harriett's Cottage Accommodation when you book. Note the pet policy applies to particular cottages in the group, with other properties running no-pets rules, so make sure your booking is specifically for Clyde's Cottage.

The place and the walk

The cottage has a secure backyard, a private courtyard feel and a cherry tree in the front garden, with classic Adelaide cottage character and on-street parking out front. The South Parklands start at the end of the street, giving a dog daily walking space without a car, and Unley Oval is close by too.

Close by with the dogs

Unley Road, about a twelve-minute walk, has the dog-friendly cafe strip: Just Down The Road and Spread Deli both welcome dogs outdoors. For a pub dinner, The Earl of Leicester on Parkside's corner is a heritage hotel with dog-friendly outdoor areas.

It suits owners who want a quiet, self-contained base close to the city rather than a motel room, with the parklands for daily walks and Unley Road's dog-friendly strip in reach. Check in is arranged directly with the hosts, and the cottage books out around events at the nearby parklands, so enquire early for peak weekends.
