Springhill House on Pardalote

Springhill House on Pardalote is a small coastal guesthouse at 1/13 Pardalote Close in Queenscliff, on the quiet side of town near the Point Lonsdale border. Listings describe a private, well-appointed property with around three guestrooms, and the Bellarine room is the one identified as pet-friendly. If you are travelling with a dog, that is the room to ask for when you book.

Dogs at Springhill House

The pet-friendly status attaches to the Bellarine room specifically, so confirm that room is available for your dates rather than assuming the whole house takes dogs. Weight limits, pet fees and any cap on the number of dogs are not published in the public listings, and some aggregated listings conflict on the pet flags entirely, so the host's answer is the one that counts. Ask about any cleaning charge and whether the arrangements differ if you book the whole house instead of a single suite before you pay anything.

Max: Confirm the Bellarine room is actually the room on your booking, because the pet-friendly listing points to that room rather than the whole house.

Worth knowing

The guestrooms come with a refrigerator, an electric kettle and heating, which covers the basics for a self-served breakfast before a morning walk. The address sits close to the Lonsdale Golf Club and the beaches at the head of Port Phillip Bay, so you are a short drive from both Queenscliff's pier precinct and the Point Lonsdale lighthouse end of the peninsula.

Close by with the dogs

Point Lonsdale Dog Beach allows off-leash access year round and is only a few minutes away by car, which makes the early-morning beach run easy before the town gets busy. The Salty Breeze Cafe in Princess Park welcomes dogs at its covered outdoor tables for coffee afterwards. If Springhill House is booked out, Seaview House Queenscliff is a historic 1875 property in the town centre that also offers pet-friendly lodging, and our Point Lonsdale Dog Beach guide covers the off-leash rules in detail.
