Petlyn By The Sea

Petlyn By The Sea is a one-bedroom, ground-floor apartment in Sawtell with a fully fenced private courtyard, five minutes' walk from the beach and two from First Avenue's fig-lined village strip. Pets are welcome on request, and the lockable courtyard gate makes it a straightforward option for owners travelling with a dog.

Dogs at Petlyn By The Sea

Pets stay by approval, arranged with the host at the time of booking. Specific fees and any weight or breed limits are not published, so confirm those directly before you book. The apartment sits at the front of the complex near Coasters Motel, and guests have access to the motel pool and barbecue facilities. The private courtyard comes with a gazebo and outdoor setting, so the dog has a secure outdoor space without a lead.

The vibe

The apartment sleeps up to four with a sofa bed, and suits a single dog or a settled pair more than a large or boisterous group. Being ground floor and courtyard-oriented, it works well for early beach walks and an easy coffee run, with everything in Sawtell village reachable on foot.

Max: confirm the courtyard gate latches properly on arrival. The fence is the whole reason you booked, and a lockable gate is only secure if it actually locks.

Getting there

Sawtell sits just off the Pacific Highway about 10 minutes south of Coffs Harbour, and the apartment is an easy walk from both the village and Sawtell main beach. Murrays Beach to the north welcomes dogs on lead, and the Boambee off-leash beach a short drive north is where the lead can come off.

While you're out there

Boambee dog lead creek gives an on-lead creek walk close by, Boambee off dog lead beach covers the off-lead run, and Toormina Reserve Dog Park is the nearest fenced option. On First Avenue, Morty's Joint and Bar Que Sera are the easy meal stops during a stay.
