Dog Friendly Places on the Atherton Tablelands

At Grandview we understand that often you do not want to leave your best friend at home. Grandview offers dog-friendly accommodation for small, well-trained, obedient dogs. For further information please contact Grandview.

The Atherton Tablelands has a range of walks where you are able to take your dog. We always ask that dogs are on leash at all times and all droppings are collected and placed in bins - wherever you may be.

“A fabulous week, tranquil serene — a piece of paradise with two hospitable guardian angels. Thanks Chris & Louise. Managed 9/10 of the recommended to do's. To those who follow hope your stay is enjoyable — until we return our thanks for a wonderful experience!”

Bob & Sharee, Auckland, New Zealand.

"Thank you for a relaxing weekend. Daisy enjoyed the walks around the beautiful gardens and to meet Jess. The cheese platter, BBQ Hamper and bacon, eggs and sausages were nice. Look forward to our return. Kind regards."
