dog friendly accommodation · bangalow · byron bay hinterland

paws and claws
friendly.

the barn was built around two good dogs, and it shows. this isn't pet-friendly accommodation where dogs are tolerated - here they're expected. an enclosed deck, gardens rolling down to byron creek, and the house motto: dogs welcome, people tolerated.

the dog questions, answered.

How many dogs can we bring?

Just tell us when you book how many are coming - dogs are approved per booking, and the answer is almost always 'of course'.

Are dogs allowed inside?

Yes - they live with you, not in a kennel. The only ask: off the beds and lounges.

Is there somewhere secure for them?

The outdoor deck is fully enclosed. In the open gardens we ask for leads, unless you're in a fenced area.

What does it cost to bring a dog?

A small pet fee per stay, shown on your booking quote before you pay anything.

Can dogs be left at the barn while we're out?

No - they're family, and they come with you (or someone stays back for cuddles). Dogs can't be left alone at the property.

Can we bring the caravan or RV?

Yes - there's ample off-street parking and plenty of room to park up a caravan or RV on the property, with a power point and water for the van. Vans aren't booked through the online calendar - email hello@bangalowbarn.com to arrange it and get a price.

dogs must be approved when you book - one email is all it takes.

questions, or a particularly unusual number of paws? email hello@bangalowbarn.com.
