Paddys Creek Retreat

Paddys Creek Retreat is a self-contained holiday cottage in Upwey, set up as a quiet Dandenong Ranges base close to Ferntree Gully Quarry and the local villages. Well-trained dogs are welcome to stay, and the property is fully fenced.

The pet policy. Dogs are allowed inside the cottage but are not permitted on furniture or bedding. The property is fully fenced, which helps if your dog likes to explore the yard. Specific pet fees and any size limits are not published, so confirm these directly with the host at booking.

The place. A cottage/villa-style holiday home with spacious rooms and a garden setting, geared toward a quiet, nature-focused stay rather than a resort experience.

Location and nearby. Ferntree Gully Quarry Recreation Reserve is about 2.9 km away with walking trails. The Dandenong Ranges National Park has further on-leash tracks nearby, and cafes in Sassafras, Olinda and Upwey village all have outdoor seating that welcomes dogs.

Before you book. Bring your own pet bedding, food and bowls, since the listing does not confirm these are supplied. Confirm pet fees, any breed or size restrictions, and the furniture rule directly with the host before you arrive.

Best suited to owners after a calm, fenced base for a Dandenongs weekend, just get the pet terms in writing before you book.
