Dog Friendly Cabin Qld – If you want to travel with your dog in Queensland but don’t have your own caravan or tent to camp in, a good option is to stay in a pet-friendly cabin, usually in a caravan park. Although many cottages unfortunately do not allow pets, I have found a wide range of pet friendly cottages in Queensland, from the south of the state to Far North Queensland.

Standard cabins allow pets. Each studio-style cabin sleeps up to four people, with a double bed and a pair of bunk beds as well as a kitchenette and bathroom. There are also pet-friendly family chalets, which usually have a queen bed and a wood stove in a separate bedroom.
The park is a short drive from the town center and includes a swimming pool, games room, covered barbecue area and plenty of space to walk your dog in the middle of the bush.
Kira Beach Tourist Park is a dog-friendly caravan park on the Gold Coast if you want to go to the coast instead of holidaying with your dog in Queensland. Just steps from the beach (and a short drive to off-leash Palm Beach Dog Beach), dogs are allowed year-round at select power sites and in their excellent dog-friendly cabins.
Two spacious two-bedroom cabins are designed to accommodate dogs. The balcony of each cabin is enclosed and surrounded by animal-proof netting, perfect for relaxing meals, perhaps using the balcony barbecue. Inside there are two bedrooms sleeping up to four people and a kitchen with dishwasher and bathroom.
