What visitors mention
Pet policy
Yes, Lythgo's Row Colonial Cottages in Pontville, TAS, allows dogs, but it is listed as "Pet Friendly - Enquire". - Policy Details: Potential guests must contact the property directly to confirm pet-friendly status, potential size limitations, fees, and specific room availability before booking, according to Discover Tasmania. If you'd like, I can suggest some pet-friendly activities in the nearby Brighton/Pontville area.
Lythgo's Row Colonial Cottages is a set of meticulously restored 1800s sandstone cottages on the Midland Highway in Pontville, about 30 minutes north of Hobart. The cottages are listed as pet friendly, though the property asks guests to enquire directly to confirm size limits, fees, and room availability before booking.
The pet policy. Dogs are welcome to stay with their owners, but as with many small Tasmanian stays, exact terms (weight limits, pet fees, which cottages allow pets) are not published and should be confirmed with the host when you book. Dogs are generally fine indoors but it is best to keep them off the bedding and furniture. A water bowl can be provided on request, and always give the host a heads-up that you are travelling with a dog.
The place. Each cottage has its own courtyard and garden area, useful for a quick toilet break or wind-down walk without leaving the property. Cottages come with fireplaces, Wi-Fi and a BBQ area, and guests get a welcome hamper on arrival.
Location & nearby. The property sits on the banks of the Jordan River, so the riverside path is an easy on-foot option for a proper walk. Richmond's historic streets and cafes are about 15 minutes away, MONA is a similar distance, and there are Coal River Valley wineries nearby that allow well-behaved dogs in outdoor tasting areas.
Who it suits. Couples or families wanting a quiet, historic base outside Hobart with easy access to Richmond and the Coal River Valley, rather than a CBD stay.

Before you book, confirm the pet fee and any size or breed restrictions directly with the property. Free on-site parking makes loading up for day trips to Richmond or the valley simple.
