Dogs are very welcome inside at Cape Otway Cottages and we provide a comfy doggie bed next to the Wood Fire for our canine guests, plus towels to wipe muddy paws, silver service bowls and special treats on arrival. So any four-legged travelling companions would really feel like they were in Doggie Heaven.
Our cottages have received the National “Five Paw Award” from ‘Life. Be in it’ for the best dog-friendly accommodation in Australia (as well as the Victorian Award), so you can be sure that four-legged visitors are very welcome here indeed.
With our cottages being on a fairly large acreage and set well apart from each other, dogs can really be dogs here - with a high degree of freedom to explore.
All of our cottages have very spacious decks for canines (and humans) to hang out on and a secure area for doggies if needed. MoonRise and GrassTrees Cottages have sheltered decks with stainless wiring and gates at the entrances, MoonLight Cottage has a protected doggie yard with a high fence and huge kennel which is accessed via a gate off the deck and the Stone Cottage has a secure fenced area under the carport.
Most doggies stick to their owners like glue so this may not be an issue for you, however if dogs are inclined to wander there is a safe outdoor area at each cottage, or of course inside the cottage with you. Then when you go out together for a walk, there is all the freedom in the world to go off-lead.
