A perfect authentic beach-cottage getaway that is wonderfully dog friendly. The large outdoor deck was a great spot to catch the breezes and hear the ocean.The beds are delightfully comfortable, the rooms are quiet (as are the neighbours) and you can easily stroll to the beach in minutes. Brendan is very responsive and attentive. The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans (there was even a slow-cooker and electric wok!) - the knives were sharp. What more can I say - a huge thank you for having us in your wonderful beach cottage Brendan, thank you.Everything was just pretty perfect all round! We will be back for sure.

What an amazing staycation my husband and our bulldog Lucy had. Our most important requirement was our dog can make the home hers, and that she did. It is a clean, tidy lovely home. The host has been so accommodating to all our needs. Close to the beach and a bowls club. Both Mike and Lucy had a great time just relaxing on the deck. Lucy was allowed on the furniture which didn't take her long to kick back and snore. We will definitely re book another holiday here. Thank you for such a relaxing, comfortable, clean, tidy home. Definitely worth the stay.

The best dog friendly place we’ve ever stayed at!

From the moment we walked in the door, we loved this place! Everything you could need and more to have a nice comfortable stay for you and your dog/s! Us humans enjoyed the fully equipped kitchen, smart TV, beautiful balcony where we ate all of our meals and the convenience of a fully equipped laundry. But the most important guest (our dog,) was impressed by the huge grassy back yard, the comfy couch he was allowed to snooze on and the short walk to the beach.

We had a wonderful stay at this pet-friendly cottage! It was perfectly appointed, cosy, and felt like a charming home away from home. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, making it the ideal retreat for both us and our furry companion.

A perfect stay for our family! Comfortable house and facilities. The yard and back deck was great for our dogs. Enough room for us to bring the boat and paddle boards. A very short walk to the beach but longer walkways to various lookouts. We saw whales from the submarine lookout, explored the rock pools, swam at the patrolled beach and went paddling in the more protected area. Great spot!

We’ve had the best time! The location was spot-on! Less than five minutes to a dog-friendly beach, which our pups treated like their personal red-carpet runway. The house itself was great, especially the amazing patio with a gate that kept the dogs safely contained… and prevented any “I’m just going to sprint to the backyard real quick” moments.The backyard was fully fenced and super secure, giving the pups the freedom to zoom around. Inside, the house had everything we needed: a big fridge perfect for storing all the seafood, a nice TV, and three comfy bedrooms with beds that absolutely delivered on the post-beach-nap front.We loved our stay, the dogs had an absolute blast, and we can’t recommend this place enough. A fantastic getaway all around!

My kids and i very much enjoyed our stay at Brendans beach house. Everything was neat and tidy. Nice size rooms with good airconditioning and comfortable beds. Large deck out the back with bbq was good when we had visiting family members. House is positioned a sreet away from patroled beach and was only a few minutes walk to a beautifull dog friendly beach.The area has a quite layed back feel to it wich we all loved. And what made our holiday so special was that our french bulldog could sit on the couch next to us inside like he does at home. I would recomend this to anyone that wants to holiday with your dog.

We had such a wonderful time here in Elliot heads, such a beautiful home in a serene location. The house had everything you need to feel at home. Best fridge/freezer ever, lots of room and unlimited cold water and ice for the summer heat, aswell as the aircon was cool and crisp. There is a huge backyard with lots of places to sit on the verandah and enjoy the views and ocean breeze. Our British bulldog Pablo loved having such a big backyard to run around in, and was spoilt being aloud on the (covered) couch. He did not want to leave by the end of our stay. LolWonderful host with amazing communication and care for the guest/s including the 4 legged kind. Thankyou so much for having us; it was definitely one of our favourite holidays ever! I highly recommend Brendans home to anyone looking to stay in Elliot heads.
