Bring The Whole Family With The Best Pet-Friendly Accommodation In Canberra

Pop your dog in the car and head off to this one-bedroom hidden gem in Hackett, just a 15-minute drive from Canberra CBD. This pet-friendly accommodation has a timber floor made from a recycled basketball court, and furry friends will love the dedicated dog yard.

Dog treats, a small dog bed and poop bags are all provided for you in the pantry, free of charge. Oh, and this place is campervan-ready too, with a huge free parking area suitable for large vehicles. If you peek through the courtyard fence, you might catch a glimpse of the resident brood of chickens.

You literally couldn’t get any closer to the action if you tried at this pet-friendly apartment sitting high above Lonsdale Street in Canberra’s city centre. Step outside this north-facing corner unit and you’ll find coffee, culture and nightlife on your actual doorstep.

Once you’re done pounding the pavement with your furry mate, you might want to sit back and relax in this accommodation’s super cute indoor garden.

The impressive floor-to-ceiling windows mean this place is bathed in light and the arty 'Frame' TV is pre-loaded with streaming services ready to roll.

Located in the same building as the five-star Ovolo Nishi Hotel, this self-contained unit has a pretty epic view from both the living space and bedroom. Bring your pup along and let your eyes wash over Canberra’s beautiful Lake Burley Griffin before heading out to one of the restaurants and bars in the New Acton precinct.

Back home, there are tiled floors, a cosy couch and a small dining table to welcome you. There’s even a separate workspace if you need to get your laptop out. An added bonus is the free, secure basement car parking space you get access to for the whole of your stay.

Three bedrooms? Check. Hot tub? Check. Dogs allowed? Check. This spacious pet-friendly home, just 30 minutes’ drive from central Canberra, sleeps up to six guests and hits you with some serious greenery as you stroll up to the front door.

There are palm trees, magnolias and a luxe front deck with a swing chair and fire pit on which you can indulge in some well-deserved me-time.

Fancy heading out for a bite instead? Molto, a modern Italian restaurant on the Kingston foreshore, offers some dog-friendly tables close to the water.

You won’t need to worry about where to park the car when you get back home. This place has a one-car garage with remote access, power points for charging electric vehicles, and two shaded car spaces.

Just a 15-minute drive from the centre of Canberra, this sunny and pet-friendly sub-penthouse studio offers peaceful, leafy views.

Hit the snooze button and leave the dog with your other half before padding your way up to the shared rooftop pool for a refreshing dip. You’ll see views of the Telstra Tower and Mount Ainslie as you towel yourself down, before heading back to your accommodation, where Rothko and Yayoi Kusama artworks adorn the walls.

There might just be time to sink into the pillowy soft couch before taking Doggo out to do his business and see what the city has to offer.

Drink in the timeless appeal of this charming weatherboard home; your pup will totally thank you for it. This two-bedroom spot lies just 15 minutes’ drive from the centre of Canberra, and offers ample space for your dog to play thanks to its fully-fenced backyard and large, enclosed outdoor patio.

Your accommodation is in the prestigious Parliamentary Triangle and close to Narrabundah shops, Lake Burley Griffin, Fyshwick markets, and the boutiques of Manuka and Kingston.

Once you’ve had your fill of the shops for the day, you can come back and relax in the multiple living areas of this pet-friendly stay.

A stylish two-bedroom townhouse, just 20 minutes’ drive from Canberra, this bright and modern stay is close to shops and dining.

This sunlit open-plan space is pet-friendly and equipped with high-speed wifi so you can speed your way through that overflowing inbox.

Your furry one will love the nearby Lake Ginninderra District Park, where pups are allowed on leash in most areas.

Part of a riverside country estate, located over the border in NSW but only 30 minutes’ drive from Canberra, Willowmere Cottage is a farm stay that gives holiday resort vibes. This pet-friendly place’s location has been given a five-star rating, and it doesn’t take a genius to see why.

Pack the car, pop pooch in their dog seat and get ready for a swimming pool, river access, a tennis court and more. The two-bed cottage has a quaint charm, with an open fire and access to a protected courtyard. But it’s the surroundings that steal the show.

The property has stunning vineyards all around it, with wine tasting and lunch available on weekends. It also fronts the Murrumbidgee River, offering walks, swimming and picnic spots all along its banks. Never has there been a better excuse to pop open the champers, grab the pup and start that holiday.
