Ripples n Tonic Farm Phillip Island

Ripples n Tonic is a purpose-built, accessible farm stay in Ventnor, a five-minute drive from Ventnor Beach, set among free-range chickens, ducks and guinea pigs. It is one of the more genuinely pet-friendly stays on Phillip Island, with dogs welcomed inside the cottages rather than confined to an outdoor area.

The pet policy. Dogs are allowed to stay inside the cottages. On the property, dogs must be kept on a lead at all times outside the cottage to protect the resident free-range chickens, ducks and guinea pigs. A secure backyard at the main farmhouse is available for off-leash time, and management may be able to arrange a farm-animal-free paddock on request, so ask ahead if your dog needs a proper off-leash run. Clean up after your dog and let management know about your pet in advance of arrival. The property does not publish a fee or size limit; confirm both at booking.

The place. The cottages are accessible and disability-friendly, and the farm has a large in-ground trampoline, a communal barbecue and pizza oven area, and native wallabies around the grounds. It suits a family or group wanting a relaxed rural base rather than a beachfront hotel.

Location and nearby. The property sits at Ventnor Beach Road, reached via the Phillip Island Tourist Road (B420) onto Ventnor Road, with on-site parking. Ventnor Beach is a five-minute drive for an off-leash run. For food and drinks with the dog, Wooli Tavern in Woolamai has a dog-friendly beer garden and Ocean Reach Brewing in Cowes is known to welcome dogs.

Good for owners who want their dog inside with them rather than kennelled, and worth booking ahead if you want that farm-animal-free paddock arranged for off-leash time.
