Hunde drinnen und auf Sofas! Sicherer Zaun. 500 Meter zum hundefreundlichen Strand

Welcome to the Salty Dog in beautiful Coronet Bay

A property for dog lovers by dog lovers. Pet friendly inside and out, the Salty Dog is a renovated 3 bedroom single story home, sleeping up to 6 people in three bedrooms and 4 well behaved dogs. Nestled in a securely fenced garden setting and a short 500 metre stroll to a sandy bay beach where dogs are welcome all year round, spend your time swimming, walking, relaxing by our fire or just watching glorious sunsets.

If you’re not a dog lover, this property may not be the right fit, as dogs are a big part of its character. Just a short stroll to the foreshore and an easy drive to Phillip Island.

Please note: Salty Dog frequently welcomes canine guests. While the home is professionally cleaned between every stay, it may not be suitable for guests with dog allergies or those who are not dog lovers. It’s a home designed to celebrate our furry friends. 🐾
