Green Point Cottage

Green Point Cottage is a detached, self-contained cottage at 355 Caroline Headquarters Road in Yahl, about a ten-minute drive from Mount Gambier on the Limestone Coast. It sits on a working farm overlooking open paddocks and a 100-year-old oak tree, and the fact that matters most for dog owners is the cottage's own fenced yard: secure outdoor space without watching your dog across unfamiliar farmland.

Dogs at Green Point Cottage

The property is marketed as proudly pet-friendly, and the detached cottage is completely separate from the main farmhouse, with its own fenced yard area. What is not published: any weight limit, pet fee, or indoor restrictions around sofas and bedrooms. Message the host before booking and confirm exactly where dogs are allowed inside and what conditions apply. Rural properties often have neighbouring livestock and wildlife, so supervised outdoor time and a solid recall are sensible even with a fenced yard.

The vibe

A quiet, secluded rural base that sleeps up to six, with a modern bathroom, two smart TVs, free Wi-Fi and a BBQ on the front verandah. Parking is generous, with room for boats, motorbikes and trailers, which matters if you are towing to the Limestone Coast. Year-round works here: the verandah and yard earn their keep in any season.

Close by with the dogs

You are positioned between Mount Gambier and Port MacDonnell, accessed via the Mount Gambier-Port MacDonnell Road, with Ewens Ponds and Piccaninnie Ponds Conservation Park within reach for the water-minded. In Mount Gambier itself, Limestone Coast Tourist Park is a park-style alternative with pet-friendly sites and cabins.

Max: A fenced yard at a rural property is the first detail I check. Confirm fence height and the gate latch before you let your dog out.
