Cottesloe Beach House Stays

Cottesloe Beach House Stays is a holiday home agency managing self-contained houses along the Cottesloe coast, and a number of its properties take dogs with prior approval. This is not a motel with a standard pet policy: each house has its own owner, its own rules and its own bond arrangements, so the dog question is settled property by property before you book. If you want a proper house near the sand rather than a hotel room, this is the model that makes it possible.

Dogs at Cottesloe Beach House Stays

Only selected homes in the portfolio are designated pet friendly, so you need to disclose your dog when you enquire and get written approval before confirming the reservation. Fees and bonds are set by the individual owner rather than a company-wide schedule, and they vary with the size of the dog, the length of the stay and the house you choose. Expect a behavioural standard to match the price point: excessive barking is not tolerated in these residential streets. The houses are kept clean to a high standard, which is part of why owners are willing to consider pets at all. Call the office on (08) 9286 2641 or enquire through cbhstays.com.au to find out which homes are open to dogs for your dates.

Max: ask for the pet conditions in writing before you pay the deposit. With owner-managed homes, the approval, the fee and the bond rules can all differ from one house to the next.

The setup

You are booking an entire self-contained home, typically with a full kitchen, laundry and private outdoor space, which makes travelling with a dog far easier than a single hotel room. Walk-in walk-out check-in means no reception desk, so settle the pet approval up front rather than at the door.

Getting there

The houses sit in and around Cottesloe, west of Perth's CBD, a short stroll or drive from the beachfront. The area is well served by cafes and the Fremantle line runs through nearby stations if you are leaving the car behind.

Close by with the dogs

Dogs are restricted on the main Cottesloe swimming beach, so drive ten minutes south to South Beach Dog Off Leash Area for a proper run on the sand. For breakfast, John Street Cafe and Daisies Cottesloe are both dog friendly local fixtures, and Kinky Lizard Cafe in Mosman Park works on the way back along the coast.
