Pup Safari’s Pro Tip:
The Yass Dog Park is a local gem. Check the “Yass Dog Park Friends” Facebook group (mentioned on the council website) before you go. It’s a great way to see how busy it is and if there’s any local pup-etiquette to be aware of.

- Pet policies can change, so we always recommend checking the complete and most up-to-date rules before you book.
Key Amenities:
- Free self-serve breakfast

- Shared kitchen facilities
Things to Do Nearby with Your Dog:
- Murrumbateman Winery - A super dog-friendly cellar door. Pups are often allowed inside, and they even have resident winery dogs. A portion of sales from their “Mollie’s Block” wine goes to the RSPCA.
- Shaw Estate - Head to the restaurant at Shaw Estate for a high-quality meal. Dogs are welcome on the spacious, covered verandah.
Pup Safari’s Pro Tip:
This is a guesthouse, not a 24/7 hotel. The front desk has limited hours (e.g., 7 AM – 11 AM) and check-in is typically between 3 PM – 7 PM. Arriving after 7 PM can incur a hefty $100 late check-in fee, so plan your drive to arrive well within this window.
Getting There Safely with Your Dog
Once you’ve booked your accommodation, don’t forget about the journey. Keeping your dog safe and comfortable in the car is essential for a stress-free trip.
A dog car seat provides a secure and elevated space for smaller dogs, while a dog car restraint harness keeps larger dogs safely secured.
