Staying with dogs

The fully fenced yard: lawn, timber retaining walls and the sauna, with the bush rising behind the back fence
The fenced yard

The short version

Two dogs welcome, per AVG's pet policy. A gate at the back of the fully fenced yard opens onto walking tracks in the state forest; dogs are welcome on a lead. Dogs can be inside while you're home; when you go out they come with you. No dogs on furniture, beds or carpet.

The yard and the back gate

A gate at the back of the fully fenced yard opens onto walking tracks in the state forest; dogs are welcome on a lead.

It's 12 minutes' walk to the edge of town and the nearest cafés (about 19 to the town centre), 5 to the river.

When you book

Tell Alpine Valley Getaways that you're bringing a dog, and how many, when you book. The limit is two dogs. Any pet fee and size limit follow AVG's pet policy; their page has the current terms.

Dogs and the snow

Dinner Plain welcomes dogs all year, including in the snow season, on a lead. Dogs can't go into the Alpine National Park around the village. Dogs aren't allowed in most Victorian national parks, and Mount Buffalo is a national park, so no dogs there. Check each resort's rules before you take a dog up the mountain.
