Why they chose this property
Mountolive Studio: Where Tails Wag and Hearts Melt 🏡🐶❤️
At Mountolive Studio, we’re not just dog-friendly; we’re downright dog-obsessed! 🐾 Whether your furry companion is a pocket-sized fluffball or a majestic fur-ricane, they’re all VIPs here. Our 20-acre paradise in the serene Perth Hills is their playground, their sanctuary, and their home away from home.
Here’s what awaits your four-legged friends:
Spoiled Rotten: Our fur babies live the high life, and yours will too! From plush dog toys that squeak with joy to a raised bed fit for a canine king or queen, their comfort is our top priority. 🛏️🐕
Paws on Sofas: Worried about those stylish sofas? Fear not! We’ve thought ahead and prepared old sheets—because every pup deserves a cozy spot to curl up and dream of chasing squirrels. 🛋️🐾
Dining Delights: Bowls? Check. Dog treats upon arrival? Double check. We believe in pampering our guests (both two- and four-legged) with utmost care. And yes, there’s even free wine and beer for the hoomans upon arrival—because why should the pups have all the fun? 🍷🍺
Canine Haven: But wait, there’s more! Your furry friend will find solace in our enclosed dog area attached to the accommodation. It’s a place where they can stretch their legs, sniff the breeze, and play to their heart’s content. 🌳🐾
And fear not, intrepid explorers! If you’re off to nearby national parks or cruising the Swan River, we’ve got your dog’s back. Arrange for their care with a small fee, and rest easy knowing they’re in capable hands. 🌊🐶
So pack your bags, leash up your best friend, and step into Mountolive Studio—a place where tails wag, hearts melt, and memories bloom. 🌿🐾❤️
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need assistance! 😊

🚿 Modern Comforts: A refreshing shower awaits in the bathroom—a cascade of tranquility. And because life isn’t just about leisure, we’ve tucked a washing machine into a corner. Practicality meets pampering—because you deserve both. 🚿🧺
