Discover a unique pet-friendly retreat where you and your four-legged companion can unwind in nature’s embrace. Named after the magnificent 25-tonne sandstone rock that forms its striking fireplace, Cranky Rock Cottage welcomes both you and your furry friend to experience authentic Australian charm.

This pioneer-style cottage, crafted from rustic Australian hardwoods, offers a peaceful sanctuary where dogs can roam and explore alongside their owners. Set on 120 acres of natural bushland and rainforest paradise at the base of the mountains, your pet will delight in the open spaces and new scents while you enjoy breathtaking valley views.

Watch together as horses, cattle, and local wallabies graze peacefully across the property. The expansive timber verandah with bifold doors creates a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience—perfect for keeping an eye on your pet while you relax with a morning coffee or evening barbecue under the eucalyptus trees.

After adventures exploring the property’s natural wonders, you and your companion can unwind in comfort. The cottage features two luxurious bedrooms—a king-size with ensuite and a queen-size four-poster cedar bed with its own bathroom—ensuring a restful night’s sleep for everyone.

Just 5 minutes from historic Wollombi village and conveniently located near Sydney, Newcastle, Central Coast, and the Hunter Valley wineries, Cranky Rock offers the perfect base for day trips before returning to your private retreat where your dog is always welcome.

Wake to the sounds of lyrebirds and friendly visits from King Parrots while breathing in the fresh eucalyptus air—a sensory delight for both humans and canines alike. End your evenings soaking in the hot tub beneath the stars while your loyal companion lounges nearby.

Bring your beloved pet to experience this rare jewel where both of you can truly relax, reconnect with nature, and create unforgettable memories together.
