Yokine Bnb

Yokine BnB is a pet-friendly three-bedroom house at 42 Chaucer Street, Yokine, about seven kilometres north of the Perth CBD. It is a whole suburban home rather than a hotel room, which is the main draw for travelling dog owners: your own kitchen, your own routine, and a big reserve 500 metres up the road.

Dogs at the Yokine BnB

Dogs stay by prior approval, so flag the dog when you book rather than at check-in. A pet fee applies but the amount is not published, so confirm the figure when you arrange approval. The hosts also arrange pet sitting on request for an extra fee, which is handy if your Perth plans include somewhere dogs cannot go. Standard house manners apply: keep the dog off furniture you would not want fur on and clean up after them.

The place

A comfortable suburban house set up for short or longer stays, with a full kitchen, laundry, free wifi, BBQ facilities and secure garage parking. It suits families or groups; solo travellers may find it more house than they need. Contact the hosts on 0423 308 840 or by email to settle approval and fees before you pay.

Close by with the dogs

Wordsworth Yokine Reserve is roughly 500 metres from the door for the daily walks, and Scarborough Beach is about 11 kilometres west for a bigger outing. For coffee, Mid-Century Cafe and Collectables and drive-through Muzz Buzz are both a few minutes away, Dog Swamp Reserve offers a quiet on-lead wetland loop, and The Mighty Quinn Tavern handles dinner at its outdoor tables.

Max: Get the pet approval and the fee in writing before you pay. The details here live in a phone call, not on the website.

Before you book, ask which parts of the house and yard the dog can use and whether the outdoor area is fenced, because that is not published either. More options across the state are on the WA dog-friendly stays list, and the Yokine destination guide rounds up what else in the suburb is open to dogs.
