Where Can I Holiday With My Dog Down South?

If you’ve ever looked at your dog’s wagging tail as you loaded the car for a holiday and thought, “Sorry mate, not this time,” it’s time for that guilt trip to end. Your four-legged family member deserves a break too, and now there’s no better place to escape with your furry best friend than Broadwater Beach Resort – we think the best accommodation in Busselton.

Nestled along the stunning Geographe Bay, Broadwater isn’t just another place to stay – it’s a paw-some playground for both humans and hounds. From the moment you arrive, tails will be wagging and smiles will be contagious.

At Broadwater, pets aren’t just tolerated; they’re celebrated. This isn’t about squeezing your dog into a motel that “reluctantly” accepts pets. This is about rolling out the red carpet – or should we say, the red chew toy.

• Pet-Friendly Stays: Dogs are welcome during most of the year (outside of key school holiday and Easter periods).
• Dog Beaches at Your Doorstep: With two dog beaches right nearby, you won’t be stuck hunting for a patch of sand where your pup can run free.
• Pet Supplement Perks: For just $38 per dog, per night, you’ll receive a Canine Supplement Pack complete with bowl, bed, and blanket. Forget lugging the gear – Broadwater’s got it sorted.
• Spacious Grounds: The resort’s lush gardens are perfect for sniffing, exploring, and a gentle evening stroll.

It’s the South West’s ultimate pet holiday destination, where every paw print is welcome.

To keep the vibe fun and safe for everyone, Broadwater has a straightforward pet policy:

• A maximum of two pets per unit.
• Dogs must be well-mannered and vaccinated.
• Pets must be on a lead around the resort (except in your unit).
• No wet dogs inside – after a beach run, towel-off before cuddles.
• Pets must not be left unattended in your room.
• A $200 pet bond applies per stay, refunded if your pup is on their best behaviour.

It’s simple: when searching for dog friendly holiday accommodation in Busselton follow the rules, and everyone – two-legged and four-legged – has a brilliant stay.

Imagine this:

• Morning Beach Walk: Start your day with salty paws and sandy toes. A quick run at the dog beach, then grab a coffee at Tonic by the Bay, Broadwater’s on-site restaurant, bar, and beer garden, so close you don’t even have to leave the resort.
• Lazy Brunch Back at the Resort: While you whip up breakfast in your fully equipped apartment, your pup lounges on their provided bed.
• Adventure Awaits: Head out for a brewery lunch, winery tour, or local market stroll – all dog-friendly. Or stay on-site and enjoy a relaxed lunch at Tonic by the Bay with your pup by your side.
• Evening Chill: Return to Broadwater, let the pup explore the grounds, then curl up together for a well-earned rest.

It’s more than a holiday – it’s shared memories in the making.

Broadwater’s location is unbeatable. Not only is Busselton itself a doggy paradise, but the surrounding Margaret River region is packed with dog-friendly day trips. Here are some highlights:

• Beerfarm Brewery: Built from the ground up with sustainability in mind – great beer, great food, and open paddocks where pups feel at home.
• Wild Hop Brewery: Rotating taps, delicious food, and a reputation as one of the most dog-friendly breweries in the region.
• The Grape Escape: Yes, even wine tours with dogs are a thing. Your pup joins the cellar-door circuit – sniffing barrels while you sip Shiraz.
• Urban Coffee House: Locals rave about it, and your dog will love it too.
• Caves House Hotel: Enjoy alfresco dining in gorgeous heritage gardens – perfect for you and Fido to channel your inner Sound of Music.
• Busselton Foreshore Markets: Like speed dating for dogs. Every 1st, 3rd, and 5th Sunday, pups mingle while owners browse stalls.

Your dog won’t just be tagging along – they’ll be the star of the holiday.

The South West of WA is a dream destination: long beaches, vineyards, towering forests, and foodie delights. But unlike some places where “dog-friendly” means one small patch of grass behind a petrol station, Busselton and Margaret River truly welcome pets with open arms.

Broadwater is at the heart of it all, making it the perfect basecamp for adventures. You can explore a different corner of the region every day and still be home to our Busselton luxury stays in time for sunset walks along the bay.

Reserving your pawfect holiday is easy:

• Book Online or by Phone: Choose your dates, room type, and add the Canine Supplement Pack.
• Complete the Paperwork: You’ll receive the pet policy form to sign and return.
• Arrive Prepared: Bring your dog’s lead, and favourite chew toy.
• Relax & Enjoy: You’re now on South West time – slow, relaxing, and full of tail wags.

Remember, if you’re not a dog person (we forgive you), Broadwater also offers plenty of pet-free rooms.

Let’s be honest – not all pet-friendly stays are equal. Some are half-hearted, offering little more than permission to keep your dog tied up outside. Broadwater is different.

• Location: Two dog beaches right there.
• Facilities: Resort-style amenities for you, tailored pet inclusions for your pup.
• Community: A region where breweries, wineries, cafés, and markets are genuinely welcoming to dogs.
• Value: At just $38 per dog per night, you get bedding, bowls, blankets, and peace of mind.

This isn’t just pet accommodation – it’s luxury for the whole family, paws included.

Life’s too short for guilty goodbyes at the kennel gate. Your best mate has been with you through the ups, downs, and everything in between – don’t they deserve the holiday too?

At Broadwater Beach Resort, you’ll create memories that last a lifetime: splashing in the surf, lazy afternoons in sunlit beer gardens, scenic walks, and cosy nights in. Whether your pup is a ball-chasing maniac, a café-loving socialite, or a chilled-out beach stroller, they’ll find their happy place here.

So pack the lead, load the car, and head south. Because at Broadwater Beach Resort, every holiday is better with wagging tails and sandy paws.
