Enclosed Dog‑Friendly Escape with Jacuzzi & Views
🐾 A Paradise for Dogs and a Magical Retreat for Hoomans!🐾
At Mountolive Studio, we’ve crafted a unique experience for you and your furry friends, just 30 minutes from Perth CBD—no flights needed! Every moment here is a chance to create cherished memories.
Here’s what you can look forward to:
1. Four Private Trails
Secret Pathways: Explore dappled sunlight, rustling leaves, and glimpses of wildlife. Whether you stroll leisurely or hike invigorating trails, your dog will lead the way. 🌿🐕
2. Winter Water Escapes
Natural Pools, Dam, and Creek: Dip toes (and paws!) into cool water. Listen to the creek’s gentle babble. It’s a serene winter escape shared only with nature. ❄️🌊
3. Award-Winning Swimming Pool
Memory-Making Oasis: Dive in together, play fetch, or float under the sky. Our dog-friendly pool is more than water—it’s where memories unfold. 🏊♂️🐶
4. Exquisitely Landscaped Gardens and Rock Walks
🌸 Canine Oasis: Amidst our meticulously landscaped gardens and charming rock walls, your furry companions can explore blooms and lush greenery. 🌸🐾🌸🐾
5. Tennis and Basketball Court
Friendly Matches: Imagine tennis and basketball amidst natural beauty. Your dog might even become the official ball retriever! 🎾🏀
6. Dog-Friendly Hot Tub/Jacuzzi
Warm Bubbling Waters: Sink into tranquility surrounded by bushland. Share stories with your dog as stress melts away. 🛁🐾
7. Dog Enclosure
Tail-Wagging Luxury: At The Wagon, we’ve thought of everything—including your furry companions! Our front veranda, BBQ area, and spa zone are all lovingly enclosed, ensuring your dogs can play, relax, and soak up the good life. 🐾🏡🌭🛁
Feel free to explore and create beautiful memories with your furry companions! It’s not just a property; it’s an invitation to be part of something timeless. 🌟🐾
Free Wine and Beer on arrival: We’d love to know your wine preference—red, rosé, or white. Cheers! 🍷🥂
Free Drink tickets: Feel free to use our complimentary drink tickets at Parkerville Tavern, where the dog-friendly front veranda awaits. It’s just a quick 5-minute drive from Mountolive Studio 🍷🥂

Why they chose this property
Mountolive Studio: Where Tails Wag and Hearts Melt 🏡🐶❤️
At Mountolive Studio, we’re not just dog-friendly; we’re downright dog-obsessed! 🐾 Whether your furry companion is a pocket-sized fluffball or a majestic fur-ricane, they’re all VIPs here. Our 20-acre paradise in the serene Perth Hills is their playground, their sanctuary, and their home away from home.
Here’s what awaits your four-legged friends:
Spoiled Rotten: Our fur babies live the high life, and yours will too! 🛏️🐕
Paws on Sofas: Worried about those stylish sofas? Fear not! We’ve thought ahead and prepared old sheets—because every pup deserves a cozy spot to curl up and dream of chasing birds. 🛋️🐾
Dining Delights: Bowls? Check. Dog treats upon arrival? Double check. We believe in pampering our guests (both two- and four-legged) with utmost care. And yes, there’s even complimentary wine and beer for the hoomans upon arrival—because why should the pups have all the fun? 🍷🍺
Canine Haven: But wait, there’s more! Your furry friend will find solace in our enclosed dog area attached to the accommodation. It’s a place where they can stretch their legs, sniff the breeze, and play to their heart’s content. 🌳🐾
And fear not, intrepid explorers! If you’re off to nearby national parks or cruising the Swan River, we’ve got your dog’s back. Arrange for their care with a small fee, and rest easy knowing they’re in capable hands. 🌊🐶
So pack your bags, leash up your best friend, and step into Mountolive Studio—a place where tails wag, hearts melt, and memories bloom. 🌿🐾❤️
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need assistance! 😊
