Finding dog-friendly accommodation in Perth takes a bit more research than most cities — but the options that do exist are genuinely good ones. From a boutique CBD hotel with a dedicated dog dining menu to a riverside apartment hotel in Fremantle and a holiday park near Coogee Beach, here’s what’s currently available.
Dog-Friendly Hotels & Apartment Hotels
Genuine dog-friendly hotels in Perth are still rare — but these two are the real deal.
QT Perth — Pup Yeah! Package — Perth CBD
A genuine dog-friendly hotel right in the Perth CBD — one of the few in Western Australia. The Pup Yeah! package includes an orthopedic CUB dog bed, smith&burton botanical pet toiletries, St Argo treats in the minibar, and a specialty in-room dining menu for dogs (steak tartare, bacon ice cream, made with the same produce as the on-site restaurant). QT Perth also has a “Director of Chaos” available to take your dog for a walk — a perk unique to the Perth and Sydney locations. Dogs of any size welcome, one per room. Pet fee applies from night 4 onwards ($40 per night). Dogs cannot be left unattended.
Pier 21 Apartment Hotel — North Fremantle
A riverside apartment hotel on the banks of the Swan River in North Fremantle. Serviced apartments with private balconies, indoor and outdoor pools, spa, gym, and tennis court. Dogs of any size are welcome in designated ground-floor rooms for an additional $55 per pet per night. Pet-friendly rooms are limited — book ahead. A dog-friendly park is within a 5-minute walk and North Fremantle train station is nearby.
Holiday & Caravan Parks
If a holiday park suits you better than a hotel, there’s one solid option near Perth worth knowing about.
Discovery Parks – Woodman Point
A well-regarded holiday park near Coogee Beach, about 15 minutes from Fremantle. Dog-friendly standard one-bedroom cabins come with a dedicated pet room equipped with a dog bed, toys, food and water bowls, and treats. Two dogs of any size are welcome at no additional fee. Pets must not be left unattended. The park has an outdoor pool, playground, BBQ facilities, and bike hire. All caravan and camping sites are also dog-friendly.

Airbnb & Holiday Rentals
Airbnb has the widest selection of dog-friendly accommodation in Perth — particularly useful if you want a fully fenced yard, which most hotels and holiday parks can’t offer. Private homes, studios, and granny flats with enclosed outdoor areas come up regularly across the metro area.

Tips for Travelling With a Dog in Perth
🐾 Things Worth Knowing Before You Go
Book dog-friendly rooms early
Pet-friendly rooms at both QT Perth and Pier 21 are limited. During school holidays and summer, they book out well in advance. Always confirm a pet-friendly room is available before finalising your booking.
Perth summers are extreme
Summer temperatures regularly exceed 40°C. If you’re travelling December through February, book accommodation with air conditioning and shade, and plan outdoor activities for early morning or evening only.
Fully fenced dog parks are easy to find
Perth has a good network of fully fenced off-leash dog parks — useful if your accommodation doesn’t have a secure yard. Check our Perth city guide for dog parks near where you’re staying.
Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Common Questions
Are there any dog-friendly hotels in Perth CBD?
Yes — QT Perth in the CBD runs their Pup Yeah! package, which is one of the more impressive dog-friendly hotel offerings in Australia. Dogs of any size are welcome, with orthopedic dog beds, pet toiletries, treats, and a dedicated in-room dining menu. A pet fee of $40 per night applies from night 4 onwards. Pier 21 in North Fremantle is the other hotel option if you’d prefer a riverside location closer to Fremantle.
Can I find dog-friendly accommodation near Fremantle?
Yes — Pier 21 is in North Fremantle on the Swan River, and Discovery Parks Woodman Point is about 15 minutes south near Coogee Beach. Both are good bases for exploring the Fremantle area with a dog.
What’s the best way to find pet-friendly Airbnbs in Perth?
Search Perth on Airbnb, click Filters, scroll to House Rules and tick “Pets allowed.” Look for listings that specifically mention a fenced yard if you need secure outdoor space.
Do I need to declare my dog when booking?
Always. Both QT Perth and Pier 21 require you to book pet-friendly rooms specifically — standard rooms are not pet-friendly. For Airbnb, include your pet in the guest details when booking so the host is aware. Showing up with an undeclared dog can result in being turned away or charged additional fees on the spot.
