Nestled in New South Wales, Central Coast is a breathtaking region and a go-to destination for beach-lovers in Australia. Blessed with the turquoise waters of the Pacific Ocean, this area is home to picturesque beaches, such as Avoca Beach, Ettalong Beach, Terrigal Beach, and many more. What’s delightful about Central Coast’s beaches is that they are either completely dog-friendly or have an off-leash portion. So if you’re thinking of bringing the whole family to this side of New South Wales, including the furry, four-legged members, you will have a wonderful time. To enjoy a comfortable and hassle-free holiday, be sure to choose accommodations that welcome them. For options, browse through this list of the best pet-friendly cabins in Central Coast, Australia.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and pet-friendly rules and regulations. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 12, 2024.

1. Serene fishing cabin near the beach, Patonga (from USD 147)

2. Chic glamping cabin, Canton Beach (from USD 114)

Who says you can’t spend your vacation in style when you can rent a few nights in this chic one-bedroom cabin on Canton Beach? Quirky designs, boutique appliances, and cleverly thought-of spaces take center stage in this dog-friendly accommodation on the Central Coast. Despite its small size, the entire cabin can easily suit up to four guests.

A wide range of amenities are within reach, from the quaint kitchenette to a collection of toiletries in the bathroom. The surrounding outdoor area quips extra features such as a fire pit, but it may not be spacious enough to let your dog roam around. You can, instead, take them to the beach, as well as several other open spaces nearby.
