Grampians View B&B
Neighbouring Dunkeld Arboretum, Grampians View B&B affords boundless access to the extensive (and dog friendly) gardens. The classically styled accommodation allows guests to relax and unwind as they take the weight off their paws in one of 3 rooms. Offering complete privacy, each room has their own ensuite and entrance. Dogs are welcome but conditions do apply, so be sure to phone ahead before booking.
Corrugated Cottage
Just a short walk away from the centre of Dunkeld sits a beautifully modern property that is positioned right at the foot of the Grampians. Appropriately, dogs aren’t allowed within the Grampians National Park, but a stay at this accommodation is the next best thing! Set within a beautiful native garden, Corrugated Cottage has a lockable fenced-in area making for the perfect stay for your pooch! With a rule of no more than two dogs per visit, your fluffy friend (or friends) are welcome inside, just don’t let them get on the beds or furniture.
