Bay & Basin Boutique Hotel

Bay & Basin Boutique Hotel is a small, seven-room hotel in central Sanctuary Point, close to the St Georges Basin foreshore and the shops, and it is one of the few places in the Jervis Bay area that takes dogs outside the private holiday-rental market. The catch is that this is not a walk-in pet stay: you need to call ahead, describe your dog, and get approval before you book.

Dogs at the Bay & Basin Boutique Hotel

Pets are allowed strictly on request and by prior arrangement with the hotel, and charges may apply. There is no publicly listed set of dog-friendly rooms, so the practical step is to phone the hotel directly and let staff match you to a suitable room. Acceptance is case by case, so treat online booking engines as a starting point only and confirm the pet arrangement by phone before you commit to dates.

The rooms

Expect seven simply furnished rooms with covered patio access noted in the property details. Guest feedback consistently mentions the spacious rooms, the large shower, comfortable beds and the central location, so it works well as a tidy base rather than a resort stay.

While you're out there

The central position puts you within easy reach of Sanctuary Point's shops and the St Georges Basin foreshore for on-lead waterside walks. For a proper off-leash run, Clifton Park Fenced Dog Park is a short drive away. Around the bay, dog-friendly options include Sea Dog in Woollamia for coffee and Tasman Holiday Parks Jervis Bay if you prefer a park-style stay with designated pet sites.

Before you book

Call ahead to confirm pet approval, any fees and room suitability, since nothing about the dog policy is guaranteed online. Best for travellers who want a central base and are happy to arrange the dog's stay in advance; less suited to anyone who needs a guaranteed pet room booked instantly.
