With views from all over, this luxe pad has its own private jetty where you can throw out a line, and direct access to the water's edge. Your accommodation gets bonus points for being pet-friendly, with a private little beach the fluffy one will love to explore. Come sunset we guarantee you’ll want to soak outside with some bubbles and watch the world go by, glass of the sparkly stuff in hand.

Escape to this pet-friendly farm stay with a twist, where your accommodation gets you close to nature without compromising on comfort. Ever thought camping could involve waking in a four-poster queen bed beneath 1000-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets? Us neither, but that's the go here and we love it.

This glamping tent is equipped with everything you'll need for a gorgeous weekender, including a fully open living space, a luxe bathtub on the verandah, and a fire pit for staying cosy once the sun sets.

Arabella is one tiny home you're going to want to get aquainted with. Located on a 140-acre property, she's surrounded by tall, dense bushland that’s home to Kangaroo Valley’s precious wildlife like wombats, kookaburras, and kangaroos. 

Whip up a meal with no trouble in the full kitchen or on the outdoor gas barbecue, and you can bring your dog along for the adventure, because she's pet-friendly too. While your furry friend is out chewing twigs, you can keep a close eye from the sanctuary of this Airbnb's outdoor bathtub fully enclosed in a giant, glass cube. There’s also a combustion heater inside for chilly evenings and air-con for scorchers.

Say hello to the Suffolk sheep and resident alpacas Albert and Archie. They’re going to be your besties for a while if you stay at Woodland Studio. This Airbnb (which also makes our list of the top Southern Highlands stays) is set on a small farm just 20 minutes from Bowral and 3km from the charming Exeter village, and we love the fact that it’s pet-friendly, so you can bring your own small four-legged friend too. Woo!

The yard is fenced so your pup will be safe and secure, but the owners limit four-legged guests to "small–medium dogs", so it's best to run your bestie past them first.

The ultimate NSW getaway for when you have a crowd with kids and dogs in tow, pet-friendly Moosewood has basically everything you need to keep everyone happy, with a saltwater swimming pool, tree swings, trampoline, loads of games and activities, a fenced garden area for pets to roam free, and kangaroos, wombats, lyrebirds to spot.

Set on 100 acres of beautiful bushland, this pet-friendly accommodation has four bedrooms, and is a quick ten minutes to Kangaroo Valley village.

Swap the city life for a countryside getaway just five minutes from the beautiful town of Berry and ten minutes from the famous Seven Mile Beach.

There's also a fully fenced backyard with a swimming pool, outdoor fire pit, treehouse, chook shed, and creek for fishing and exploring.

There’s even a wildflower farm, a short trail through nine acres of bush, and two large organic veggie gardens so you can level up your feeds while you stay.

Two words we guarantee resonate with your little furry mate: big backyard. The pet-friendly Barefoot Beach House rests on the bay of the Shoalhaven River and it’s just a few minutes walk from the surf mecca that is Culburra Beach.

From the dog-friendly garden, you can go kayaking, paddle boarding, start up the barbecue, and throw a feast in the outdoor dining area (or even slip into the six-person spa). We love that this Airbnb has a sleepout studio in the garden, which is automatically included if you're booking for six or more guests—it's a lovely retreat, with an ensuite.

If you’re looking to step up your usual getaway, this pet-friendly place is absolutely for you. The Treehouse is suspended high among treetops and it described as an adults-only retreat.

When there’s a quiet country road that leads you all the way to a character-filled farmyard property on the Kangaroo River, you know you’ve hit a jackpot. Your pet-friendly Airbnb is a converted farm shed that's been transformed using a heap of recyled materials. 

Step through the vintage doors and you'll find a living space big enough for seven (plus the dog) to share. We love the outdoor entertaining area which has a wood-fired pizza oven and barbecue for firing up. Grab some herbs from the garden as a garnish for that feast, and you can collect some fresh eggs from the residnent chooks for brekky too.
