Brilliant weekend in the bush!

We had a brilliant stay at Mountolive studio. Our dog absolutely loved it! She was in heaven exploring the bush and particularly loved swimming in the creek! We also loved playing on the tennis court! Would definitely recommend and will hopefully be back. The hosts were fantastic at communicating and very welcoming and helpful.

Perfect Pet-Friendly Getaway

We had an amazing stay! Our dog had the best time exploring the bush walks and swimming in the pool. It was wonderful to relax and be surrounded by nature, with plenty of birds and kangaroos to spot. The studio was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful, pet-friendly escape!

Ah, the serenity

What a lovely spot, so glad we found it! We hate going away without our fur babies so was so lovely to find a venue where dogs are fully accommodated for and safe. Our doggies had the best time exploring the grounds, and we enjoyed a few reds by the fire 🔥 A lovely relaxing place, highly recommend

10/10 pawfect holiday!

We stayed in the studio for 2 nights and it was the perfect staycation destination! You wouldn’t think we are just out of the city. Having 2 German shepherds we struggle to find pet friendly accomodation but Junko was so lovely to them and we absolutely loved our stay and so did our 2 fur kids! We hope to visit again and try the wagon next!

A perfect little escape with our pup 🐶💛

We had the most beautiful two-night stay at Mount Olive Studio with our Dalmatian, Leslie. The studio has everything you need—super modern, comfy, and thoughtfully designed—but the real magic is outside. We loved wandering the property, going on bush walks, and cooling off in the pool in the afternoon. We recently lost our older dog, Lou Lou, so this little getaway was exactly what we needed, space to slow down, do nothing, and just be together. It’s such a rare and special thing to enjoy a place this lovely with your dog. We’re so grateful.

Peaceful getaway

Mountolive studio is a lovely, peaceful escape in the hills and not too far away from Perth. Very clean and comfortable with plenty of walking opportunities and a nice pool. My fur baby loved all the new smells and areas to run. It’s just delightful and we will go back.

Beautiful .

We had a beautiful relaxing stay , the rain only enhanced our stay as the natural pools were full and everything was lush and green . The owners are extremely respectful of your privacy and attentive to check how everything was or if you needed anything. The studio is comfortable and very clean and the shower is amazing. We will definitely be back .

Perfect Staycation

We absolutely loved every second of our stay at Mount Olive Studio. The studio was the cutest and cosiest base camp for our exploration around the surrounding bush land, tracks and pubs. The fact that it is dog friendly make it all the more better. Junko was fantastic to deal with and we are so grateful for her and her partner sharing their beautiful space. Can’t wait to be back!!

Lovely peaceful getaway.

Stayed for my partners birthday with our two dogs. Property is cosy with beautiful surroundings. Sunsets and sunrise visible. We loved having the stove going while cuddling up in the couch. Bed really comfy and shower was lovely too. Really nice to have somewhere not to far to drive from the city.

Bliss in the Hills

Was the perfect getaway with our 2 doggos! Relaxing in the beautiful surrounds, going for walks on the property, playing tennis and shooting some hoops, having a dip in the pool and finishing it off with outdoor massage under the trees. Pure bliss!
