PETS & WILDLIFE:
Dunkeld is a natural environment with abundant wildlife on and around our property and as such we don't allow pets. You will frequently see kangaroos, possums and many bird species in the yard and surrounding paddocks. Thank you for helping us to maintain the house and also protect the local wildlife by leaving your pets at home.

We are near the local football ground - three to four games are played here during the season and we will let you know if it's a footy weekend when booking so you know to expect a few hours of game play.

Join in with the locals for some country footy fun and hospitality!

There are two smart doorbells at Dunkeld House along with one security camera at the front, providing outdoor security protection 24/7.

GIRLS WEEKEND AWAY
We have just returned from a lovely two night stay in Dunkeld. There was five adults staying at the property and it was so warm, clean and inviting. We stayed very warm (given the outside temperatures down to 2 degrees) around the wood fire and the multiple panel heaters kept the entire house warm. The interior of the property was styled very nicely and the amenities were all modern and easy to use. The beds were all very comfortable and we appreciated that good linen was provided! Would definitely recommend staying at the property. Communication with the hosts was easy and timely, they were a pleasure to engage with.
