We love to take our dog with us where ever we go, but sometimes it can be difficult to find somewhere nice that is happy to have our little furry family member too. We even have a pet minding service available nearby day rate is $40 or overnight $55 contact Rita at Wagtopia 0403918667 a pick up and drop off service is also available if needed at 85c per km her property is at Hartley aprox 25 km away from Wattle Views and has secure fenced yard with access to your dogs own private room
So we decided to create our own – a place called
Wattle Views Tiny House where doggie guests can:-
- enjoy long walks and smell the fresh country air
- curl up in front of a lovely warm fire inside the cottage
- sit outside and enjoy the views
- run and fetch sticks and balls on the large grassy lawn
- spend the night in front of the outdoor fire star gazing
- crash out on the sunny north facing front porch
- go in and out of the cottage anytime you like via the doggie door
- run around the cottage without fear of getting lost (fully fenced)
- go for a dip at lake lyell a very short drive away or dam on the property
- sniff and smell all sorts of amazing things
- Go to a local cafe or pub and enjoy a day out with the humans
- See some local wildlife – kangaroos, echidna, wombats, birds
- Please note do not leave pets alone at the cottage or in the yard if you require a pet sitter please contact Rita at wagtopia 0403918667
Please read terms and conditions – bond & pets in regard to what we expect from pet owners if they do decide to stay.
The Blue Mountains towns are doggie friendly – but you are not allowed to take them into the National Parks or to the Jenolan Caves.
We have lovely walks on the property and some thru the surrounding countryside like the old Cob and Co route, plus great walks around the property and another which takes you down to the bottom of the valley to Jocks creek.
If you are not feeling energetic just do the loop road along our driveway aprox 1km long.
