Winganna Farm

Winganna Farm in Peel, near Bathurst, is a working farm stay that explicitly welcomes dogs to stay overnight. That alone sets it apart in a region where most rural properties shut the gate on visiting dogs.

The pet policy. Dogs are allowed to stay overnight. The owners have their own dogs on the property. Dogs must be controlled if they are not used to farm environments, particularly around the free-range chickens. Pets should be vaccinated. A fenced separating area for the front and backyards is available if you need to keep your dog apart from livestock or other animals. Specific pet fees are not detailed.

Who it suits. This is a working farm with animals, so it suits dogs already comfortable around livestock and rural activity. If your dog is the type to chase chickens or stress around stock, you will need to manage them closely or use the fenced separation area.

If your dog has never been around farm animals, have a management plan before you arrive rather than working it out on the day.

For a leg-stretch in town, the Kefford St Off-Leash Dog Park in Bathurst is nearby, and Gunthers Lane Cafe and Café Viva are both worth knowing about for a meal with your dog in tow.
