Mistover

Mistover Cottage is a self-contained, two-storey stone cottage on a 32-hectare working Galloway beef cattle stud farm at 1840 Murchison Highway, Yolla, in North-West Tasmania. The defining fact for dog owners: pets are welcome by prior arrangement but are restricted to downstairs areas only and must not access furniture or bedrooms, so you will need a dog that settles on its own bedding in a shared living space.

The pet policy. Dogs are welcomed by prior arrangement and must stay downstairs only. Pets are not allowed on furniture or in bedrooms. Guests must bring their own pet covers, rugs and bedding. Pet fees and exact conditions were not confirmed in the source material, so confirm these details with the host at booking.

The place. A two-bedroom, self-contained stone cottage with an open fireplace and a casual, relaxed atmosphere. The property spans 32 hectares of bushland, creeks, dams and pasture. Resident farm dogs live on site and are accustomed to visitors. A resident platypus is sometimes seen in the dam at dusk.

Location & nearby. Mistover sits on the Murchison Highway (A10), roughly 20 to 23 km from Burnie and Wynyard, between Cradle Mountain and Stanley, and close to the Tarkine Wilderness. On-site parking is available, including wheelchair-accessible parking. Within a reasonable regional drive, dog-friendly options include Somerset Dog Beach, plus Lemon Tree Providore and The Vault in Wynyard.

Who it suits. Owners of settled, well-supervised dogs who want a rural farm-stay base for exploring North-West Tasmania. The extensive property offers space to roam, though the working stud environment means this is not a free-for-all off-leash holiday.

Before you book. Contact the host to arrange your dog's stay, confirm any pet fees, and discuss the property layout. Pack all bedding and covers, as none are provided for pets.

Book Mistover if you want a genuine farm-stay with clear, manageable pet rules and space to stretch. Skip it if your dog cannot be reliably supervised around cattle or needs bedroom access at night.
