Travelling with your pet feels like sharing every moment twice, once for you and once for them. Here, open roads lead to quiet trails where paws press into soft earth and tails flick in the breeze. The air carries the scent of wildflowers and the sound of birdsong while sandstone peaks rise like ancient guardians beyond the horizon.

Pets cannot enter National Parks, but that does not mean adventure stops. There are a lodges and pet sitters in region for your furry friend to spend the day whilst you explore the national parks. Additionally, there are plenty of places to explore together, from scenic lakeside walks to bushland reserves and charming country towns where nature and hospitality meet.

Dog friendly stays make it easy to settle in. Boutique cottages, cosy cabins, welcoming caravan parks offer space for both of you to rest after a day of discovery. Many properties provide secure yards and thoughtful touches so your companion feels as welcome as you do.

Pet Lodges

Pets are not permitted in national parks, but that doesn't mean you have to miss out. There are a number of pet lodges in the region who can care for your furry friend whilst you hike and adventure.

Alternatively, popping a post in the Halls Gap Community and Visitors Facebook page is a good way to find a pet sitter for the day.
