About this property

Ultra Dog Friendly Accommodation

We take being ultra dog friendly seriously. To us this means no limit on the number or size of dogs you bring with you. They are all welcome, inside and out. We provide all you need for your dog - outdoor lounges, indoor beds, food and water bowls, a toy box, spare leads, poop bags and dog throws to cover the furniture and bed if your dog/s like to come up for a cuddle.

Dogs will not only love exploring, but they will be secure with farm fencing surrounding the 1/2 acre bush garden. We also provide a secured fenced waterproof area, accessible with a dog door, off the kitchen. It has a mulched area for toileting and a climbing frame and hammock suitable for feline travellers to enjoy a holiday too.

The 60m2 deck overlooking the native wonderland is also fenced for extra dog safety.

Of course, we care deeply about the humans too. Inside, a queen bedroom, with ceiling fan, and luxury bathroom with rain shower.
Fully equipped kitchen, including dishwasher and 1 full size fridge/freezer. We provide a community pantry generously stocked with all the essentials, condiments and provisions you could dream of. Your first breakfast will be provided, plus a welcome platter and 'cheers' of choice. Ground coffee is provided for the coffee machine, plus a variety of teas and hot chocolate. Each guest will have their dietary requirements and preferences individually catered for as part of our hospitality to help make each stay as memorable and meaningful as possible.

Plus all the mod cons: washing machine, dryer, outdoor bbq, ducted aircon and wood combustion fire with one large wood box filled with firewood for your use. Surround sound TV with a large variety of viewing platforms included: Netflix, Stan, Prime, Disney, Apple and FOXTEL.

Outside is our beautiful big deck surrounded by trees. It's a paradise for bird and nature lovers. Pick your deck space....a day bed to lay and read a book, a dining table with overhead heater and surrounded by cafe blinds to make a sunroom. A hydrotherapy spa, secure behind a pool fence.

All linen and towels (both for bathroom and spa) are provided. Sheridan bath robes also provided.

Only 25 minutes from the CBD, this cozy retreat is a must for those wanting some time out amongst nature to recharge and revitalise, and also have their dogs by their side. A truly private getaway and a fabulous base to explore the cafes, pubs and wineries of the Adelaide hills, with great dog walking options in close proximity. We provide unlimited free entry into Belair National Park (only 10 mins drive) to all of our guests as a dog favourite walking spot. Your stay at Dogabout Days won't disappoint.

We had absolutely amazing experience. One of the best stays ever! Check in was easy and smooth, lovely owners and communication, the place was spotless, you would have no idea people stay there with dogs, there was everything you could possibly need for your stay and the property and surroundings were just stunning. It was a very relaxing and peaceful weekend, Sara and Emma are amazing hosts and we hope to come back again soon!

Everything about this stay was amazing. The hosts had carefully considered our every possible need and went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. The property is secure for medium to large dogs. There was plenty to do nearby, and the deck, spa and fireplace made staying in a treat as well. We can't wait to come back.

We very much enjoyed our stay and so did our 2 mini pinschers. They loved the back garden area with so much to explore! The house was perfect for us, with all the mod cons. We felt very welcome with little notes and yummy food. We were able to relax and enjoy the crisp clean air - it was just what we needed for our break away. Thank you Emma, Sara and Zed.

This was such a beautiful home. It was perfectly set up and there were lovely messages making it easy to know how things worked. I particularly liked the encouragement to leave any left overs for the community or to use anything there. Thank you thank you. The spa was better than expected, such a treat.

Thank you for sharing your stay for others. The community pantry was created to make stays as easy and simple as possible. To not have to make dashes to the shops for extra crackers, or spreads, oil, spices, and even be able to whip up a pasta and have an icecream dessert if you want, for us is what helps make home away from home. Hope to host you all again on day.

Wow, where do I even start?! Emma, Sara and Dogabout Days was just incredible. The hosts clearly have amazing attention to detail because everything was spotless, tidy, and just perfect. And as dog parents who travel a lot, it was such a relief to see our pups get super comfy and settled. The hosts were also just the best - so accommodating and communication was a breeze. Plus, the place itself is stunning, with beautiful outdoors and tons of wildlife. A truly memorable stay!

Absolutely Dogtastic!

A wounderful and amazing place to stay. Truely dog friendly, our 3 pups loved it and had all their needs completely catered for! Great for the humans as well. So many lovely little touches that made our stay so good. We loved the spa, wood fire, garden and sunroom, the pups enjoyed the garden, cosy beds by the fire, sunroom and comfy lounges. The property is a credit to the host's and we all can't wait to come back for another visit!

A beautiful, peaceful location overlooking a valley. Lots of bird life with cockatoos and lorikeets making use of the birdfeeders on the deck. Wonderful, attentive hosts - you can tell Emma and Sara really care about the experience you and your pets have. They went the extra mile and laid additional mats on the floorboards to help our old boy with mobility issues. A couple of steps to be aware of to get to the garden or mulched toileting area if your doggo needs assistance, but all very doable. We really appreciate the opportunity we had to stay here and disconnect.
