A wonderful experience!

Our dogs are family so to be able to take them away with us for a couple of days was the perfect! We all had so much fun walking the trails and swimming in the pool. The Studio was lovely and the gardens are stunning. We cannot wait to visit again!

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.

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.

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!

Beautifully Peaceful

We arrived on a Monday afternoon. From the moment we walked upstairs to our Studio stay, it was beautiful. Our dog, Gypsy, absolutely loved it. She was swimming and walking every day. The grounds are gorgeous, and it reminds me of Tuscany. It felt like we were in an Italian Villa in Italy. Thank you to Frank and Junko for an amazing place to stay. Next time we will stay in the Wagon. We will be back...

Stayed in the studio and had an amazing time(humans, dogs & bird)!!!

Stayed in the studio, had an amazing time (humans, dogs & our bird)!!! Such a calm environment, close to the city but feels like it's a world away. Our doggos loved the pool and didn't want to get out. Great place for relaxing and exploring (lots of trails & the enclosed area). Even saw the resident possums. Thank you Junko for creating this lovely space!! Will definitely come back again!

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!

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

Refreshing and relaxing

Having 2 special needs dogs my holidays are limited for many reasons. Being able to take them away with me and feel comfortable with the space was majourly important. Having a huge enclosed area that blended into the landscape was amazing! It was like an extension of the surrounds which meant even though enclosed we didn't feel trapped behind a fence. My dogs loved it! It allowed me to relax knowing my dogs were safe. Having 20 acres on our door step that was basically ours to explore was amazing! Having the dams, and creak to investigate on top of all the smells from the wildlife made sure my kids were absolutely tuckered out. And if that wasn't enough a pool to share if needed, for humans and dogs. Enrichment deluxe here for the fur babies to use all of their senses. For humans who enjoy the out doors and like a hike the property has its share of steep hill tracks or easy meanders for the less enthused. The studio had everything we needed. Thankyou Junko. ❤

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 place for a recharge

Mountolive is a gorgeous wooden cabin in the middle of peaceful private bushland. The perfect place to reset and recharge from the busyness of everyday life and reconnect with nature and each other without interruptions. Never have we been to a place where our dogs were equal guests with no limits or restrictions, they were truly cared for and enjoyed off lead bush trails! Junko was so friendly and attentive to any needs. We can’t wait to come back soon!

We will be back

We only stayed two nights and we are from 40 mins down the road but it felt like a world away! We loved having our dog everywhere with us, she’s reactive so it was peace of mind having the freedom for her to roam around. We played tennis, enjoyed bush walks and just soaked up the nature from the comfort of the couches. Planning when we can go back shortly!

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.

Rescue Hound Paradise

Finding a secure, quiet and pleasantly distracting home away from home was such a happy find. I have a large breed rescue that doesn't have the greatest recall so having the large enclosed area attached to the studio was a godsend. Only unfortunate experience was my hounds unhappiness with the resident possums family (she thought they were cats) but I loved watching them watching me 😂. The pool area is also amazing and my family had a great time jumping off the rocks. Already planning our next stay for the winter months!

A fantastic tree change getaway for busy city slickers

Who says you need to plan a family holiday mths/yrs in advance? This is a wonderful tree change getaway for busy Perth locals…drop everything, pack an overnight bag, runners on, pick up your doggie 🐶 and let’s GO! We had the best time recently at the studio. The mixture of relaxation, bush walks and bird calls met with modern comforts of Netflix access, tennis court/pool & supplied essentials allowed us to enjoy our stay fuss free and truly savour this space! Thoroughly recommend this place for a short term “unplug from the daily grind”…it’s just what the (tree) doctor ordered!
