Seahorse Coastal Villas

Seahorse Coastal Villas is a set of self-contained, two-bedroom villas on Old Peterborough Road, a short drive from the Bay of Islands and the Bay of Martyrs on the Great Ocean Road. Dogs are welcomed in selected villas, though the fine print varies by room and by which booking channel you use.

The pet policy. The property markets itself as pet friendly and lists dogs as allowed on its own site and on Google Maps and Agoda, though some third-party platforms such as Expedia show restrictions instead. Confirm directly with the villas at the time of booking to lock in a pet-friendly room, since a specific weight limit or pet fee is not clearly published. Bring your own bedding and a water bowl rather than assuming one will be supplied.

The place. The pet-friendly villas have private grassy areas, outdoor settings and decks, useful for a dog that needs its own space away from the main living area. Villas are full self-contained with kitchens, sleeping up to six, in a relaxed rural setting with gardens rather than a tight motel strip.

Location and nearby. It is minutes from the Bay of Islands, Bay of Martyrs, The Grotto and London Bridge, and about ten minutes from Port Campbell, where several cafes have outdoor seating. Wild Dog Cove, on-leash and dog-friendly, is a short drive away. Free onsite parking is provided, and the village itself is quiet compared with busier Great Ocean Road towns.

Before you book. Call ahead rather than relying on the listing you booked through, since pet policy differs across platforms. It suits owners doing a Great Ocean Road self-drive who want a quiet base with some outdoor space for the dog between beach stops, less so if you need a guaranteed pet fee or weight limit in writing before you arrive.
