The Best Pet-Friendly Perth Stays To Check Out With Your Pooch
In need of a Perth staycation in 2026 but don’t want to leave your furry friend behind? The City of Light is home to some of the best pet-friendly hotels and Airbnbs—some with playful pooch-friendly touches and epic backyards for afternoon zoomies.
So pack your suitcase, grab some treats (for both dog and human), and get ready for a top time the Fluffster will thank you for. Here are Urban List's picks of the best pet-friendly stays in Perth.
Palmyra | Sleeps 2
Kawa Heart Studio
Potter up the secret path to Kawa Heart Studio and you’re in for a big surprise. This adorable pet-friendly Perth Airbnb was once a glass studio that was used as a creative space for artists. It sits in a top spot close to Fremantle, in the hosts’ backyard, and has huge cathedral windows that let the outside light shine in.
Inside your accommodation, expect vintage touches and gorgeous artwork. Outside, the Floof will enjoy exploring the rambling garden with its fenced yard to keep them safe. It should be noted that the hosts who live on the same property have their own friendly labrador who might poke her nose through the gate. Just tell them if you’d rather she kept her distance.
The attention to detail here is second to none. You’ll find hand built ceramics by local artisans dotted around; there’s a claw-foot bath to soak in, and an aged brass waterfall shower just to make that morning wash extra luxe.
Cottesloe | Sleeps 6
Cottesloe Beach House
Imagining poolside drinks with a view of the Indian Ocean—all with your pup by your side? Cottesloe Beach House Airbnb has your Perth pet-friendly getaway well and truly sorted, offering up a plunge pool for keeping cool, while you gaze across at the sandy beach and Rottnest Island in the distance.
Your home away from home is close to the Fremantle train line, which is pretty handy, and you’ve got restaurants and bars on your doorstep for more post-dip sips. Prefer to dine back at base? There’s an outdoor deck with a dining table for family eats, plus a built-in-barbecue to cook it all up on.
North Beach | Sleeps 10
Barefoot North Beach House
Ocean breezes, your own private balcony and enough space to bring the whole gang. Barefoot North Beach House sits mere footsteps from one of Western Australia’s best beaches and marine reserves, and it’s pet-friendly so the Fluffy One can join in the fun too.
Wake to the sound of crashing waves before padding across the road to get those toes sandy (there’s a kayak you can use if you’re feeling more adventurous, plus your hosts supply beach towels, an umbrella, a beach blanket and snorkelling gear for you to use). Your morning coffee is just a stroll away, plus there’s eateries nearby for a leisurely brunch.
Back at your Perth Airbnb after an arvo of exploring, you can enjoy a quick snooze on the outdoor hammock, or take a seat in the lounge with a cuppa and take in that view. Later, we reckon it’s time for a glass of something stronger while you fire up the barbecue and prep for those group eats.
Subiaco | Sleeps 6
Subi Haus
Big enough for the whole fam (including the dog as it’s pet-friendly too), this Perth Airbnb is a restored 1910 Federation home. It sits in Subiaco’s most desirable area, a mere toddle from shops, parks, eateries and more. Spread out, because there are five bedrooms to choose from here, including an awesome secret one above the garage with a view of the courtyard below.
Speaking of that courtyard, it’s a great spot for some group dining (there’s a full kitchen for the nominated chef), plus inside your brick-walled home you’ll find an enticing living and dining space that’s perfect for chilling with the gang (both human and fluffy).
Rossmoyne | Sleeps 4
Poppy's Place River Retreat
Just a ten-minute wander from the Canning River, this beautifully styled home is all about comfort and calm. Inside your pet-friendly Perth Airbnb, you’ll find a light-filled open-plan living space with a fenced, crackling wood fire, to keep your curious doggo warm and safe.
Garden-facing bedrooms mean you can keep tabs on your furry escape artist without leaving the comfort of crisp, hotel-like sheets (the best!) The private backyard and alfresco patio with coastal accents makes an excellent spot for your morning brew or sunset wine. And your pup will love it here too—there’s a dog-friendly park right across the road and river trails just moments away.
This stay is a great spot for couples or small groups after a slower pace, in a classic Aussie home-away-from-home—while still being within easy reach of the city, Freo, and Perth’s best beaches.
North Beach | Sleeps 6
Puppies & Pancakes
Looking for a laidback Perth coastal escape where your dog is just as welcome as you are? Say hello to Puppies & Pancakes, a charming OG Scarbs beach house situated beside some of Perth’s most iconic seaside restaurants, bars and walking trails.
The cosy 3x1 home is perfect for couples or a small crew (your Airbnb sleeps up to six), with a spacious dog-friendly yard that’s begging for a sunset backyard catch-up or a morning brew with fresh sea air.
You’re just a short stroll to stunning beaches, local cafes, swimming pools and rock climbing walls, with Scarborough Beach and Sorrento Quay only five minutes away by car. It’s easy, breezy coastal accommodation—and yes, your pooch is 100 per cent invited to come along for the journey.
Subiaco | Sleeps 6
Style and Comfort in Subiaco
This spacious pet-friendly Perth Airbnb on the Subiaco-Shenton Park border is a certified short-stay flex. With bold colour blocking, playful prints and contemporary interiors, it feels like an architecture mag come to life.
Each of the four bedrooms is bright, comfy and calming (three with king beds, one with a king single for solo travellers or nap-happy toddlers). Retro meets contemporary cool girl, with lined cabinetry, a textured concrete island, and leather couches in mauve. And with everything on one level, this spot is also completely wheelchair accessible—a rare and inclusive touch in such a spacious home.
The outdoors holds its own too. There’s a lush backyard with a small grassed area for dogs to roam, plus a dreamy freestanding outdoor bath for some chill moments after a long day of Subi wandering or Shenton Palk walkies.
Perth | Sleeps 6
Heritage Home In The Heart Of The City
Chasing an urban escape in Perth with your furry best mate? This cool converted warehouse set within a heritage 1899 Salvation building in the city's east end is pretty hard to beat. Your home was designed by renowned West Australian architect, Brian Klopper, and modern elements contrast beautifully with restored features to create a home with serious style.
Spread out across three levels, this pet-friendly Airbnb features your own private internal courtyard tucked away from all the action and topped with loads of falling ivy—a perfect spot for your pooch to curl up while you plan which cafes to hit on your morning walk.
Hovea | Sleeps 4
Mountolive Studio
Located between Midland and Mundaring, a 40-minute drive outside Perth, is Mountolive Studio, a light-filled rammed earth loft, with beautiful floor to ceiling windows, timber beams and a comfy king-sized bed for you to cosy up in at night.
Surrounded by native bushland, the entire property is just waiting for walkies with your very good boy or girl. There's also a massive secluded pool reminiscent of something you’d find in a theme park (minus the slides and screaming children), that both you and your pup are welcome to swim in.
The pet-friendly plus points at this Airbnb don't end there. The legends that own this accommodation provide drink tickets for the dog-friendly Parkerville Tavern, just five minutes away. Oh, and you happen to get a complimentary beer and/or bottle of wine on arrival. Where do we sign up?
Bickley | Sleeps 6
Honeysuckle Cottage
Fun fact: this glorious pet-friendly Perth Airbnb once appeared on an episode of The Bachelorette— and when you step inside you'll see why it was deemed perfect for TV. It's gorg, with a seriously enormous alfresco deck that gives you epic views of the Bickley valley.
Your three-bedroom accommodation sits on an acreage of lush, rambling garden that's perfect for zoomies, and yet it's close to tourist spots and mountain bike trails too. Our highlight though has to be the colourful outdoor pizza oven. Crack open a bottle of WA's finest and get the margherita on.
Mundaring | Sleeps 3
The Carriage
All aboard for your next escape—this century-old South Australian train carriage has been stunningly restored and transformed into one of Perth's most unique pet-friendly stays.
Originally part of the Barossa Valley Hotel, The Carriage is a circa-1901 gem now stationed on a peaceful ten-acre property ideal for the zoomies, and just minutes from Mundaring and a short drive to the Swan Valley.
Think vintage charm meets boutique luxury, with rich timber interiors, plush furnishings and elegant details that’ll transport you straight into the golden era of travel (without ever leaving the hills). It’s private, opulent, and totally secluded—with goats and chickens roaming outside no less. Definitely one of the best pet-friendly Perth Airbnbs!
Fremantle
Pier 21 Apartment Hotel
If you want to enjoy unbeatable views of the Swan River on your next Perth staycay, you’re going to want to head to the luxurious Pier 21 Apartment Hotel on the sandy banks of John Street in North Fremantle.
Take your furry friend for a walk through the sprawling tropical gardens or a stroll along the paths of the riverbank, then retreat to the comfort of your elegant, fully-serviced apartment or suite. Before booking in at Pier 21, just be sure to shoot them an email to let them know you’ll be bringing your pet with you.
Coolup | Sleeps 5
Timpano's Farm
Okay, it’s a bit of a trek from Perth, but Timpano's Farm in Coolup is an off-grid-reset with a twist worth driving for. This peaceful pet-friendly farm stay features two thoughtfully designed cabins, plus, plenty to keep grown-ups, little humans and pups of all energy levels satisfied.
Kick back on the deck with a local wine, or roast meat over the open fire pit, and hit play on your very own nine-hole mini golf. We can’t guarantee your furry friend won’t try to play catch, but we can promise they’ll have plenty of room for zoomies. Perfect for the fam, the kids can run wild on the playground, basketball court or play fetch on the giant lawn.
Timpanos delivers all the wholesome countryside vibes your entire fam will love, with a side of mini golf and happy tails.
