Goat Island Bungalow

Goat Island Bungalow is a self-contained two-bedroom holiday house on the coastal strip between Ulverstone and Penguin, with a long dog beach about 100 metres down the road and a northerly outlook over the water.

Dogs at Goat Island Bungalow

The host is happy for dogs to come along on the holiday, according to the Airbnb listing, and the beach at Goat Island Reserve is a minute's walk down the road. The catch is the yard: it is not fully enclosed, described by the host as a work in progress, so dogs that jump or wander need supervision or their own containment. Fees and weight limits are not published in the listing, so confirm both at booking.

The house and location

The bungalow sleeps up to seven and is self-catering, so bring your own bedding, bowls and treats. It sits roughly 24 kilometres from Devonport Airport, within easy reach of West Ulverstone shops, and the quiet northern aspect overlooks the sea.

Close by with the dogs

For supplies and coffee, Hey Buddy is the local dog-friendly cafe stop, the fenced Penguin dog park is up the coast for off-lead time, and BIG4 Tassie Getaway Parks is the caravan-park alternative nearby.

More options are on the Tasmania dog friendly accommodation guide and the West Ulverstone destination page.

Max: ask the host about the yard boundary before you arrive if your dog is a fence-tester, an unenclosed yard next to a reserve is worth planning around.
