lifestyle & living
From mountain domes to historic hideaways, these pet-friendly stays will have tails wagging and paws exploring. Because holidays should include the whole family.
Everything is better with your pup, so why would you choose to leave them at home with a sitter when they could come with you for an unforgettable staycation? Here are our toprated pet-friendly self-catering stays in South Africa.
Moonrise Dome, Tulbagh
Perched on a hill with sweeping views of the Witzenberg mountain range, the Moonrise Dome offers guests a private dam for swimming and the start of a scenic hiking trail leading to a waterfall. It’ s the perfect place to immerse yourself in the natural splendour of this farm – and yes, your dog will love it too!
Stuurmansfontein Corbelled House, Carnarvon
Looking to escape the city life? Stay a night or two in an authentic corbelled house. A total of 7km from the nearest neighbour, this off-the-grid hideaway offers peaceful solitude, starlit skies, and a rare connection to the past.
An architectural gem found only in parts of the Northern Cape, this particular national monument was built in the 1800s. It’ s a peaceful, tumble-back-in-time escape under wide skies and stars – and dogs are welcome.
The first bedroom is a geodome with a queen-size bed set on a deck above the kitchen and living area. The second bedroom is a private treehouse near the dome, boasting equally breathtaking views of the valley.
