Pet-Friendly Accommodation on the South Coast

Pooch-Friendly Visits to the NSW South Coast

The South Coast of New South Wales is a beautiful area encompassing lush hills, sweeping valleys, world-class wineries, country pubs, and miles of beautiful beaches. For pet owners it's even better. You can find pet-friendly accommodation across the South Coast, and you'll never be at a loss for finding ways to entertain your furry friend.

Where to Go With Pets on the South Coast

Whether chasing sticks, exploring the hills, hitting the beach, or enjoying a 'puppycino' on a cafe terrace, the South Coast has a wide range of fun pet-friendly activities and attractions.

1. Dog-friendly beaches

The South Coast is lucky to have a whole host of parks and beaches where dogs can roam free off the leash. Throw balls and chase sticks 'til you drop at the 24-hour off-leash area of Seven Mile Beach at Shoalhaven Heads, or go for a run during the designated off-leash hours at the chilled-out surf hub and cool town of Culburra Beach in Berrys Bay (4pm-8am), the picturesque white sands of Nelsons Beach and Plantation Point in Jervis Bay (4pm-8am), or socialise with other dogs at the popular Narawallee Beach (6pm-8am), just a short drive north of Mollymock.
2. Wining and dining

There's no reason to leave your fur baby behind, or outside, when you want to enjoy a drink or sample some of the South Coast's best cuisine. The legendary Jamberoo Pub is a true blue Aussie institution from a bygone era, and it allows dogs not only in the outdoor beer garden but also inside, right at the bar! Just Delicious cafe is a great place to relax and rejuvenate after a run around in Berry, with a large outdoor shaded verandah, water bowls for dogs, and even a safe-to-drink 'puppycino' on the menu. The South Coast's wine country isn't off limits to canines, either: Cupitt's Winery welcomes dogs with open arms and offers a huge play area and spectacular views, while world-class vineyard Cambewarra Estate even lets you bring your dog for cellar door tastings.
3. Visit markets

As well as all the beautiful natural scenery and nature walks to explore along the South Coast, there's more than a handful of quirky, crafty towns worth a dog-friendly visit. The twice-monthly Uladulla Harbour Markets at the wharf in Uladulla have made this picturesque South Coast seaside town something of a destination for dog owners in the area, who are welcome to bring their dogs to browse the stalls or play in the park. The dog-friendly Kiama Farmer's Market taking place every Wednesday at Coronation Park, just off Surf Beach, offers a chance to taste local cheeses, wines, fresh fruits and veggies, not to mention visit Kiama's numerous local art galleries and craft shops.
