Arrow Brick House

Two-bedroom cabin Arrow Brick House feels secluded on its 12 acres of land, but is handily located just five minutes from the Port Arthur Historic Site (and the Three Capes Walk). Named for its use of original convict-made bricks around the fireplace, the space is cosy in winter and with its outdoor hot tub and beanbags, perfect to enjoy in the warmer months too. Your four-legged bestie is more than welcome at this dog-friendly accommodation, with the yard fully fenced to keep your dog and the local wildlife – including wallabies, wombats, echidnas and birds – safe. Kick back on the deck with your pup by your side and enjoy the sweeping views of Cape Raoul in the distance.

The Edge

What’s better than a laidback beach trip with your dog? Quite simply, nothing – and one of the primo spots for a coastal getaway is Tassie’s iconic Bay of Fires region. With white-sand bays lining the state’s north-east coastline, you’ll have a great time beach-hopping by day. The Edge at Binalong Bay is the perfect dog-friendly place to base yourself, with this beach the gateway to the Bay of Fires stretch. Perched right on the tranquil Grants Lagoon, it has a huge sundeck and tropical garden and is fully fenced so your furry mate can tag along. The studio space comes stocked with bikes and kayaks so you can really enjoy the area.

Brickendon Estate

UNESCO-listed property Brickendon Estate is just 20 minutes from Launceston, but you’ll feel like you’ve stepped back centuries in time when you visit. Run by the seventh generation of original owners the Archer family, the property is rich in convict history, complete with an 1820s farm village consisting of a chapel, blacksmith’s shop, cookhouse and barns. There’s several accommodation options including three convict-built cottages and three newer builds made from recycled timber – and some of these happen to be dog-friendly accommodation (make sure you enquire when booking!). Leash up your pup to explore the grounds and heritage gardens or take the beautiful country walk to the neighbouring Woolmers Estate.

The Top Paddock

For a glorious off-grid glamping experience in the Tassie bush, give the Top Paddock a whirl. Situated on 20 acres of land in the north-west of the state, this perfectly private dog-friendly accommodation might see your pooch meeting some inquisitive sheep and goats for the first time, since more often than not they do wander up to the stargazer yurt for a sticky beak.  With a comfy queen bed and wood fire, the Top Paddock is perfectly cosy as the sun goes down. Your dog will love curling up next to the wood fire in winter or flopping down next to you as you enjoy an outdoor bath in the warmer months.

Hounds Inn

For a less “out bush” holiday, it’s handy to know that there’s dog-friendly accommodation right in the action of Hobart. The aptly-named Hounds Inn is a historic 1830s home in West Hobart, just a few minutes from must-visit spots Battery Point and Salamanca. The three-bedroom sandstone house is fully-fenced with an outdoor entertaining area and secure backyard, meaning your pet will be safe while you’re out and about. Or why not take them with you for a stroll on the Hobart Waterfront or at the nearby Knocklofty Reserve? This serene bushland area is full of meandering trails and dogs are allowed on or off-leash.

Inner City Haven

Another spot close to Hobart’s CBD is the Inner City Haven, located in the foodie hub of North Hobart. This two-bedroom (can be extended to three upon request) dog-friendly accommodation is fully equipped to be your base for a Hobart vacay, with a stocked kitchen, laundry, large entertaining outdoor area, luxe linens on the beds and a cosy living area. It’s a quick walk to the main NoHo strip which is packed with bars, restaurants, pubs and a cute boutique cinema.

Dune Shack

This popular dog-friendly accommodation is located in the impossibly gorgeous spot of White Beach in south-east Tasmania.

There’s a hammock outside for peak relaxation and even yoga mats if you want to really salute the sun. It’s also a short drive to heaps of local walks around the Tasman Peninsula as well as Port Arthur.
