Dogs are ok to be inside with you when you are at the cottage but we request that dog are outside in the secure and private yard when alone. If your dog cannot manage to be left outside or is likely to bark continuously please leave them in the spacious bathroom with their bed and water.

Happy Dogs was perfect for our mini escape with our fur-child. Rachel was very welcoming (& the eggs were a nice touch). The cottage was very clean and comfortable, with a sizeable yard for the dog. Close to all Margaret River attractions. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back.

A great getaway!

This place ticked all the boxes and there was nothing we needed that was not available. Clean, fresh and quiet with a wonderful view of the sunrise through the trees each morning. Enjoyed the nearby walking trails. Ollie the Collie thought it was 'furry' good too and like us, is very much looking forward to staying again.

Two nights with dog

Very clean and well appointed property and a fabulous base to walk to river and the Rail and Trail "Wadindi" track too. Secure yard for our dog so we could sit outside with him and relax. So good to find a place that is dog friendly. We will be back.

Relaxing cottage for us and the Beagles.

We arrived late Thursday afternoon and checking in to the cottage couldn’t have been easier. The Beagles went straight out to the secure backyard and instantly we all felt very relaxed. The location to town was perfect and the recommended trail walk had the dogs putting themselves to bed each night before us. We highly recommend Happy Dogs cottage and look forward to more visits in the future. Thank you for having us!

Perfect furbaby pad!

This little home away from home was perfect for both ourselves and our furbabies. Happy dogs is a simply furnished but well equipped cottage set behind the owners property. It is very comfortable, has a fantastic closed in garden and is super close to river walks and doggie swims (a must for any Labrador) and to the town. Rachel is friendly and super easy to communicate with. We will definitely be staying here again ❤️

Happy Days, Happy Dogs

Ideal place to stay for a couple of days with our two dogs. Great to have a fully enclosed back yard for them, they loved it. Comfy bed and no trouble sleeping. Unfortunately the couch was too low for me, trouble getting up off it with my bad knees, everything else was great! Thanks a lot, we'll come back!

Cozy

Ideal one-bedroom cottage close to Main Street and within reasonable driving distance to wineries, breweries etc, if that’s your thing. Great walking trails for dog walking and exercise. The cottage is located to the rear of and in very close proximity to the owners home, but it has its own private secure backyard. Whilst the cottage doesn’t have a built in doggy door, the owner provided a removable dog door for our stay, which was ideal for our two small dogs.
