Horses, dogs, cats and birds – your furry and feathered (and even hairy and scaly) family members are most welcome. Up until now these are the types of pets that have accompanied their owners on holidays, and all have been well behaved and have enjoyed their holiday along with the rest of the family.

The most pet friendly accommodation we have found to date. We will be back again.

 Pet Rules

• Your pets are allowed inside the cottage on the slate floors, however are required to be kept off the carpets (bedroom areas), furniture and bedding. The doors to the carpeted bedrooms can be shut, thereby allowing pets free run of the slate floored areas within the cottage. Covers are provided for the lounge suites. 
• Rules regarding dogs on the property are in line with those imposed by any local Council: dogs must be kept on a leash at all times on the property as there are lots of free-range pet animals that many dogs can’t resist the temptation to chase, and other guests on the property that may not be comfortable around dogs. Off lead areas are available but are dependant on current guests and your dog. 
• All droppings must be picked up (including those in the dog enclosure at the cottage)  
•  Dogs must not cause a nuisance by noise or otherwise to other guests
• Guests are liable for any damage or injury caused by their pets.
• Well behaved, quiet pets may be left at the cottage while you explore our area or visit local restaurants. Please notify us that you are leaving your dog, let us know where you are intending to go and leave us with a contact number so that we can contact you should there be any problems. If your dog is stressed or creating problems for other guests we will call you and ask you to return.

Much of the area around Pemberton is National Park and dogs are not allowed in National Parks; however there are many places they can go such as the Diamond State Forest (directly across the road) and Big Brook Dam. Additionally, some of the lovely restaurants, wineries and cafes in the area are pet friendly and will allow your well behaved dog to join you for lunch. We can provide you with a list of these upon check in.

For horse enthusiasts who love to holiday with their four-legged friend there is a labyrinth of great logging tracks that can be followed on horseback for miles and miles through the Diamond State Forest adjacent to Diamond Forest Farm Stay. Additionally, for your peace of mind, your equine friend can be accommodated in full view of your cottage, in a safe grassy, paddock with water available. Fences are constructed of reasonably new ring lock wire and treated pine posts.

Tips for Travelling with Dogs

“Crate training” can be a useful tool for pets that will be regularly travelling. A properly crate trained dog will think of the crate as their own safe place and will be happy to spend time there when needed. The familiarity of the crate can help your dog to feel comfortable in unfamiliar surroundings and in circumstances when you have to go out and need to leave him or her behind.
