Pet-friendly holidays in the Southern Downs and Granite Belt

Updated 2025

Looking for somewhere to stay where you can bring your four legged friends? We’ve put together a list of places where you can take your pets on holidays.

All of the accommodation providers listed below have advised that they are pet-friendly, but their policies around having animals varies place to place, so it’s best to always phone ahead and ask what the rules are if you bring your fur baby on holiday.

Here are a few things to keep in mind to ensure you have a hassle and stress free experience.

Please check with each accommodation provider regarding their policy around pets.
Plan before you go – is your dog’s ID tag and chip up to date?
Make a reservation for your dog. Some places only allow small dogs and certain breeds. You don’t want to be turned away at check-in.
Choose the right room. Request the ground floor for a shorter trip outside when nature calls and away from busy hubs like elevators.
