The Treasure Chest

The Treasure Chest is a restored, design-led holiday home in South Burnie, marketed as a pet-friendly Airbnb on Tasmania's north-west coast. The reason to book with the dog: a secure backyard and an enclosed deck, so your dog has somewhere safe to be while you use it as a base for Cradle Mountain, the Tarkine and the nearby coast.

The pet policy. Pets are explicitly welcome. The host markets the place as a boutique pet-friendly stay, but does not publish weight limits or a pet fee, so confirm both directly when you book. The standing expectation in a styled home like this is that dogs stay off the furniture and beds; check the house rules on your booking. Walk on-leash around the residential streets to keep the neighbours onside.

The place. It's a restored two- to three-bedroom holiday home with a vintage, curated interior, suited to couples or a family. The dog-relevant features are the secure backyard for off-leash time in the yard and an enclosed deck where your dog can be outside with you. There's a firepit and a full kitchen for slower evenings in.

Location and nearby. South Burnie sits right on the coast and works as a touring base. The South Burnie Dog Beach is the closest off-leash run, a short drive for a stretch on the sand before or after a day out.

Before you book. Message the host to lock in the pet fee, any size limit and the exact house rules, since none are listed publicly. Good for a couple or small family wanting a styled base with a fenced yard and easy beach access.
