Loved it!

Such a beautiful place to stay and so nice to hear the stories of all the animals from the hosts. Really appreciated the provisions as we had a full car so didn’t bring much food, plus the secure yard for the doggo was brilliant to know they didn’t need to be on lead the whole time. Highly recommend it as a place for travellers with dogs.

We had such a wonderful stay. Pauline and Russ are excellent hosts and the breakfast and provisions were amazing. It was wonderful to be able to bring our dog with us, and the kids loved getting up close and prrsonal with the animals. Have definitely recommended to all my family and friends.

In the country, close to town

We had a lovely stay. The owners were welcoming and friendly but we had plenty of privacy as well. Pauline came over for a chat on Day 2 to check everything was going well. Good food preparation facilities, they had everything we needed covered. Warm bedding to protect against the chilly nights but the aircon was super effective if anyone needed a back up. Really well set up place, if you have pets or not. Highly recommended.

PEACEFUL COTTAGE

We spent 5 nights at Kelpie Cottage with our dogs. The accommodation provides everything you could need for a short stay. Electric stovetop proved a little problematic (couldn’t get the heat down low enough) but everything else was great. Bottle of wine, breakfast supplies, firewood, lovely comfy recliner chairs, nice hot shower, comfy bed. We had business to do in town and the cottage filled the bill nicely.

Awesome Experience and Lovely Hosts

This property is lovely and is true to its word pet friendly. Every thing has been thought of to cater for your pooches big and small. Spare beds, water bowls and feed bowls in case you forget yours as well as some treats. The back yard is well fenced for all dog sizes I checked out the horse boxes as well and they’re spacious. The lovely gardens provide visual barriers for the Kelpie cottage to the hosts animals/livestock which was good for our German Shepherd to reduce excitement and fencing is 6ft. Dont forget the humans… we were very well catered for with a well stock fridge if all the core things such as milk, coffee bread etc… Nothing inside is flashy ‘new’ which is perfect (don’t need to worry about your dog getting a small scratch on something or dropping hair), but it’s very comfortable and the heaters work great. Pauline and Russ, were so helpful, accomodating for all our needs. Only sorry we didn’t have time to visit the rescue sanctuary. Thank you so much!

Pet Friendly

An ideal BnB for family & pets. Heaps of food provided, to help when you arrive & following days. For a winter stay there is a wood heater, making it nice & cosy. Anyone would love staying there with their pet.

Autumn Getaway

This was the ideal property for us to base ourselves on, plenty of secure grounds for our border collie to explore. The cottage was well equipped, cosy warm fireplace and comfortable beds. Lovely touches including continental breakfast staples, chocolates, wine and doggie treats were a nice addition. Enjoyed our stay.

Disappointed

To be honest we were disappointed with the property. It was not very clean, between the seats on the couch was like a sand pit, the shower had quite a bit of mould and soap scum. The beds were very poorly made with fitted sheets not even pulled on properly, however they were comfortable. The towels were very thin and old. We loved the fire and that kept us nice and warm. Overall the accommodation was ok for what we needed but is a bit tired and could be presented a lot nicer. We would not choose to stay again.
