Carol's Cottage Self Contained Accommodation

Carol's Cottage is a self-contained, country-style stay at 30 Heath Street in the heart of Red Cliffs, just off the Calder Highway south of Mildura. It is set up as a genuine dog stopover rather than one that merely tolerates pets: dogs go inside with you, and there is secure fenced yard space on site.

Dogs at Carol's Cottage

Friendly dogs are welcome inside the cottage, with the usual condition that they stay off the furniture and human bedding. A pet fee of around $10 a night applies, and you bring your own dog bedding, bowls and food, plus a towel for dusty paws after a river day. The backyard is securely fenced, and guests describe a dedicated dog exercise yard, so off-lead time on site is straightforward without leaving the property. Fees and any breed or number limits are not published, so confirm the current details with Carol directly when booking. Guests repeatedly single out the host's warm, hands-on style, which makes those arrangements easy.

The place

The property runs one- and two-bedroom self-contained units, including a brightly themed option, each with a private courtyard. There is a shared BBQ area, books and movies for a quiet night in, and off-street parking. Reviewers mention comfortable beds, roomy bathrooms and a homely feel, which suits couples or small families on a Murray road trip.

While you're out there

Red Cliffs' shops and cafes are around the corner, with Coffee on Indi an easy walk for an outdoor-table coffee. For a proper off-lead run, the Mildura fenced dog park at Rio Vista Park is about fifteen minutes north on Hugh King Drive, with separate large and small dog areas. The NRMA Mildura Riverside Holiday Park is the fallback if the cottage is booked out.
