Southport-Dandar

Southport-Dandar is a private-room stay on Dandar Drive in a quiet residential pocket of Southport, listed as pet-friendly for its studio room. It suits a small group or solo traveller after a calm, home-style base rather than a full apartment, and the pet policy comes with a couple of conditions worth knowing up front.

The pet policy. Pets are allowed only in the studio room, not the other rooms, so book that specific room if you are travelling with a dog. There is a pet fee of around AUD $10 per night. Size limits are not stated in the listing, so confirm your dog's size with the host directly before booking rather than assume.

The place. It is a private room in a peaceful suburban setting, with guests describing it as clean, comfortable and a home away from home. It works well for longer stays given the quiet location.

Location and nearby. The Dandar Drive setting is residential and calm, within easy reach of central Southport. Broadwater Parklands and Musgrave Park, which has an off-leash area, are both a short drive for daily walks.

Before you book. Confirm the studio room is the one allocated, check the pet fee, and clear your dog's size with the host directly, since policies and room availability can change. Bring your own bedding and bowls.
