Port Macquarie Rental Village

Port Macquarie Rental Village on Boundary Street is a relaxed, budget-friendly tourist park that takes dogs in selected cabins and on designated sites. It sits close to the Hastings River and a short drive from the town centre, which makes it a practical base if you want cabin comfort or a caravan site without paying waterfront prices.

Dogs at the Rental Village

Pets are welcome on approval, not by default. The pet-friendly options are specific one-bedroom cabins that sleep up to five, plus designated powered and unpowered sites, so confirm the exact cabin or site type with the park before you book rather than assuming your booking qualifies. A pet fee applies, recently listed around 30 dollars, and rates can shift with the season.

House rules are the usual holiday park code: dogs on lead around the grounds, no access to indoor common areas such as the amenities block or laundry, and no leaving a dog unattended in a cabin unless it is crated and quiet. Clean up as you go. Pack bowls and bedding because the cabin inventory does not cover the dog.

The vibe

This is a working tourist park with a pool, BBQ areas and a guest laundry rather than a resort. Cabins get steady marks for comfort and cleanliness, and the grassy sites suit a wander with the dog first thing in the morning.

Getting there and out with the dog

The park is off Boundary Street on the Hibbard side of town, an easy drive from the Pacific Highway side and the CBD. Hibbard Reserve is close by for a quick lead walk, and Stuart Park's fenced dog park is a short drive when an off-leash session is due. For a beach fix, the sand at Nobbys Beach is inside ten minutes, and Bloom PMQ covers the coffee run with outdoor seating.

If the village is full, NRMA Port Macquarie Breakwall Holiday Park is the other dog friendly holiday park option in town. More stays are on the New South Wales pet friendly stays guide and the Port Macquarie destination page.
