Located south of Adelaide, Fleurieu Peninsula is a destination that offers plenty of attractions for tourists visiting with four-legged friends. As its name suggests, this region features several beaches many of which are dog-friendly, such as Sellicks Beach and Goolwa Beach. Pet owners who prefer dryer activities can explore Harbourmasters Walking Trail with their furry friends or take them to Onkaparinga River Recreation Park. The other thing that the region is most famous for is its wineries, and some establishments welcome both people and pups, such as Mt. Jagged Wines, Wirra Wirra Vineyards, Alpha Box & Dice, and Victor’s Place. Take the time to go through this list of the best pet- & dog-friendly accommodations in Fleurieu Peninsula, Australia, for a comfortable place to stay with your four-legged companion.
