Peppy Beach Retreats

Peppy Beach Retreats is a group of beachside holiday houses at Peppermint Grove Beach, a quiet stretch of WA coast between Bunbury and Capel. The houses sit close to the sand with ocean views from most balconies, and dogs are welcomed as part of a standard booking rather than as an exception, which puts them in rare company for group-sized coastal accommodation.

Dogs at Peppy Beach Retreats

Dogs are allowed to stay overnight across the Peppy Beach Retreats properties. Some units, including the Oceanview Loft, take up to three dogs per booking with a weight limit of 25 kg per dog, and a one-time pet fee of $80 applies per stay regardless of how many dogs you bring. Cats are generally not permitted, due to local rules and allergy concerns for later guests. The dog limit and weight allowance can vary between properties, so confirm the details for your specific house at booking. These are self-contained houses, so your dog gets the run of the property rather than a single designated pet room. Keep dogs off the furniture and bring their own bedding, food and water bowls, since the houses are set up for human guests.

Worth knowing

The properties are built for families and groups, with several bedrooms, big living areas and ocean views from the balconies. Because the fee is per stay rather than per dog, travelling with two or three dogs costs the same as travelling with one at the units that allow it, which makes this one of the better-value multi-dog options on the WA south west coast. The houses have free on-site parking.

Getting there and the beach

The retreats sit on Sand Dune Drive at Peppermint Grove Beach, roughly 20 to 30 minutes from Bunbury and about 15 minutes from Capel. The beach is a short walk away, a long quiet stretch of sand that suits on-lead exploring, and it rarely feels crowded. Tuart Forest National Park is a short drive inland with walking trails where dogs are welcome on a lead, and the Capel River area offers calmer water and bushland walks when the ocean swell is up.

Close by with the dogs

Oceanview Manor by Peppy Beach Retreats is the larger sibling property on our list if you need more bedrooms. Capel Short Stay and Discovery Parks - Bunbury Foreshore are the alternatives toward town, and Bibra Loop Dog Park at Dalyellup is the fenced option on the drive through. More options are in the Western Australia pet friendly stays guide and the Peppermint Grove Beach destination page.
