About this property

Ultra Dog Friendly Accommodation

We take being ultra dog friendly seriously. To us this means no limit on the number or size of dogs you bring with you. They are all welcome, inside and out. We provide all you need for your dog - outdoor lounges, indoor beds, food and water bowls, a toy box, spare leads, poop bags and dog throws to cover the furniture and bed if your dog/s like to come up for a cuddle.

Dogs will not only love exploring, but they will be secure with farm fencing surrounding the 1/2 acre bush garden. We also provide a secured fenced waterproof area, accessible with a dog door, off the kitchen. It has a mulched area for toileting and a climbing frame and hammock suitable for feline travellers to enjoy a holiday too.

The 60m2 deck overlooking the native wonderland is also fenced for extra dog safety.

Of course, we care deeply about the humans too. Inside, a queen bedroom, with ceiling fan, and luxury bathroom with rain shower.
Fully equipped kitchen, including dishwasher and 1 full size fridge/freezer. We provide a community pantry generously stocked with all the essentials, condiments and provisions you could dream of. Your first breakfast will be provided, plus a welcome platter and 'cheers' of choice. Ground coffee is provided for the coffee machine, plus a variety of teas and hot chocolate. Each guest will have their dietary requirements and preferences individually catered for as part of our hospitality to help make each stay as memorable and meaningful as possible.

Plus all the mod cons: washing machine, dryer, outdoor bbq, ducted aircon and wood combustion fire with one large wood box filled with firewood for your use. Surround sound TV with a large variety of viewing platforms included: Netflix, Stan, Prime, Disney, Apple and FOXTEL.

Outside is our beautiful big deck surrounded by trees. It's a paradise for bird and nature lovers. Pick your deck space....a day bed to lay and read a book, a dining table with overhead heater and surrounded by cafe blinds to make a sunroom. A hydrotherapy spa, secure behind a pool fence.

All linen and towels (both for bathroom and spa) are provided. Sheridan bath robes also provided.

Only 25 minutes from the CBD, this cozy retreat is a must for those wanting some time out amongst nature to recharge and revitalise, and also have their dogs by their side. A truly private getaway and a fabulous base to explore the cafes, pubs and wineries of the Adelaide hills, with great dog walking options in close proximity. We provide unlimited free entry into Belair National Park (only 10 mins drive) to all of our guests as a dog favourite walking spot. Your stay at Dogabout Days won't disappoint.

The best

Dog about dayz is the best pet friendly accommodation we've stayed in. The attention to detail was amazing. From the guest pantry to the welcome goodies to the luxury towels and the expresso coffee maker. The house itself just invites rest and relaxation with all the comfiest of home plus more. Our fur family was very at home and equally well catered. Thank you Emma and family. We had a wonderful time.

The ideal couples retreat in the Adelaide hills

Everything about this accommodation was fantastic from start to finish. Attention to detail was second to none and we appreciated the little extras such as having the fire roaring in time for when we arrived, treats and toys for our dog and a candle and banner for my birthday. Bed was super comfy and we enjoyed having the Aussie nature right on our doorstep.

A perfect getaway with our dogs

Emma and Sara have the most amazing and charming getaway accommodation which has all the conveniences of home and total security for our dogs. We had such a relaxing and peaceful stay, and were surprised by all the effort they put into the guest experience. Our little dachshunds loved the huge enclosed forest backyard, as did we. So much do to in the Adelaide hills, and this is the perfect place to stay while doing so. We can’t wait to stay here again.

About the host

Host profile image
Wild about nature, we love living in the Adelaide Hills with our dogs Bacchus and Zed and that is why we wanted to open up our relaxing and peaceful space for others to enjoy with their dogs

Why they chose this property

It's private, it's immersed in nature, it's ultra dog friendly where they are allowed not just inside, but on the furniture and bed with you. Dogabout Days provides you with the security to put your feet up and relax knowing that your dogs are safe, secure and happy by your side. The hydrotherapy spa on the deck makes for an ultimate getaway

What makes this property unique

We have no restriction on the number of dogs that you bring, or their size. We love DOGS
