Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Great Lakes Council

We had a great week away with our grown up kids and partners. Plus our family dog. Everyone had a great holiday. Thanks again.

Lovely stay in Smiths lake, feel like you’re up in the trees. Note there is a steep driveway and many stairs to get into the home.

We loved our stay at your beautiful home - so eclectic, gorgeous gardens, so relaxing with the wrap around verandah and day beds, and the magic bush track down to the beach. The kitchen was fully equipped, and everything so thoughtfully presented … a relaxing home away from home! Our little dog Cliffy absolutely loved his time there too … lots to explore in the fully fenced garden, and he loved his daily beach adventures. Thank you Evelyn & Kerry for making our stay so special. We will definitely be back and stay longer next time.

Roger and Robyn came to welcome us and were nice enough to provide some basic ingredients for our first breakfast! We felt at home right away and the location was perfect. There were a few spiders and a cockroach during our stay, but it is to be expected in Australia! We loved the place overall ☺️

My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Ben & Becky's place. We had planned some activities over the weekend but ended up just staying at the property as it was so peaceful and serene and had everything we needed to enjoy a very relaxing weekend. Highly recommended and would definitely stay again.

A wonderful farm stay. The cottage is very comfortable and the view of the hills with the morning fog is breathtaking. My wife, myself and our two pups had a great time.

The place is beautiful and very clean and comfortable. Easy to access and close to the beach and beautiful area across the road. The house is well equipped and we had a very relaxing weekend

Perfect air bnb for our trip, being able to bring our fur baby was even better especially with an enclosed back yard! Would recommend and stay there again! Thankyou!

We had an amazing stay at Becker 94. Our Border Collie had come with us and we felt right at home! It was cozy and Maryla was super helpful when we needed anything! She even went above and beyond to mail our house keys back to us after we left them there. Unfortunately we visited in winter so couldn’t take advantage of the amazing pool so we will definitely be back in summer next time! Cannot recommend this place enough for a relaxing weekend.

Maurie’s place is so beautiful! Had an amazing time and the location/house is perfect! Would highly recommend and will definitely be back!

We had such a lovely stay – the place was warm and cosy, perfect for a relaxing family retreat. It’s in a quiet bush setting but still super convenient, just a 10-minute drive to Merewether Beach and Hickson Street Lookout. We loved taking our dogs for walks along Merewether Beach and even found a great dog-friendly café nearby – the perfect spot for an early brekkie and sunrise. The lookout was stunning at sunset, though dogs aren’t allowed there, so we left ours in the car for a short while. The cottage has a big wooden table out on the deck, and we really enjoyed having lunch there, listening to the frogs singing while the dogs explored the garden. Such great value for a pet-friendly getaway. Thanks so much, Stewart!

Rex and Georgie's is a cute and private space with a beautiful garden. We loved how close it was to the beach and the thorough guide handbook. Overall, the space was very clean and tidy. Communication was prompt and polite. A couple of minor points to note: the mini fridge is a little noisy and distracting in the night. The bed linen smelled a little mouldy; we have allergies but it was tolerable.

The Pool House is a beautiful spot for a getaway with our puppy. The place has everything you need. Very clean and perfect size. The pool is absolutely beautiful and it’s a very short walk to the local shops. Will 100% be going back. We had a great time.

For anyone looking to explore Hunter Valley Wine Country I could not recommend this enough! Had absolutely everything we needed for the best long weekend away. The place was spotless and so well stocked, with the loveliest welcome gift. Tamara was so responsive and helpful, I can’t wait to recommend it to all my friends (and come back!)

Villa Nessa was an amazing stay! Vanessa was friendly and attentive, being quick to reply to all questions, queries, and issues we had during our stay. The house itself was beautifully appointed, well equipped, and spotless upon arrival, with the location being very peaceful and serene. There was plenty to do at the bnb with the pool and hot tub being especially big hits. Would definitely recommend!

Relaxed, natural, clean and cosy! Just a few words to capture this peaceful home. Owners went above and beyond even to a point where a bag was left and they posted it back to Sydney without additional charges. Stunning view, mineral pool - the photos don’t do it justice. Thank you for an incredible stay!

Lindsay and Pam were lovely hosts. Nothing was too much trouble including help with the fire. Perfect getaway if you are looking for a rustic, quaint weekend country retreat in a home built by Lindsay.

Beautiful stay, such a friendly and responsive host, beautiful asthetically please house, gorgous views and would definitely come back!

I had a great stay, James and Julia the place was fantastic, had everything I needed. The wood heater was definitely a stand out for me! It was ideally located also within a stones throw from the shops, cafe and most importantly the pub! Definitely recommend and I will be back!

We had a lovely stay at this villa in the heart of Pokolbin. The location was perfect — close to wineries, restaurants, and beautiful scenery. The villa was clean, cozy, and well-equipped, with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. Waking up to vineyard views and seeing kangaroos in the morning was a real treat! The host was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

I had a fantastic stay at Belinda and Bruce’s beautiful countryside farm. The house was clean, cozy, and very comfortable. Their company at the BBQ was amazing—so friendly and welcoming. A real highlight was the farm tour, where we got to see all their lovely animals up close. It was such a peaceful and enjoyable experience. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing farm stay with wonderful hosts!

My partner and I stayed in Cadair Cottage 1 and we really really enjoyed our short time here. We were only here for a couple of nights but would have loved to extend our trip. There is so much to like about this place. Firstly, the surroundings are just absolutely beautiful - you are in nature and if you’re coming from a city landscape you’ll switch off so quickly. The cottage itself was spotless and had such a homely feel. All of the amenities you’d need with a fireplace, stove top, wifi, tv with foxtel and streaming - beautiful bedrooms and comfortable linen. The hot tub is also so nice to relax in and watch the sun come down. The yard (which is fully fenced) offers an expansive play area for your furry friends and our girl Peppa absolutely loved her time here too. She had so much fun. You are visited by neighbouring sheep and cows and it’s truly magical to watch them graze and trail by. Thank you, Simone - we can’t wait to return to this beautiful property again.

This was our second time at Dairy Song and first time in the winter. The fireplace was a cozy and fun experience and so beautifully tied in with the peaceful surrounds. Rebecca is a true delight to deal. Seeing the family dog Steve again was a highlight too. We loved the peace of the it all so much, we've booked for the King's Birthday Long Weekend 2026 already!

My partner and I spent 3 days together at the little home. We loved every minute; from the hamper summer kindly put together for us to the beautiful bath outside, fire wood.. everything was thought of. The home had beautiful surroundings and two dams where our dog Wesley could roam freely as the fully enclosed space was perfect. Although winter the house was cosy warm with the fire place and a great space for couples to have some close time reconnecting with nature and each other 🙂 We plan on taking another trip in the warmer months 🥰 Thank you summer x
