Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Kempsey Shire

We had a flying visit to Crescent Head with the family and Tim and Wendy’s place was perfect. Located two minutes from anywhere in Cressie. Views were breathtaking in the morning, as we arrived late at night we didn’t notice/ see. Thank you for making our weekend so enjoyable and relaxing. The shower was nice and hot and I loved the heat lamp, being from Queensland I appreciated it.

An absolutely beautiful space. We had such a relaxing time at this stunning place. Beautifully designed and so pretty on arrival. Close to the beach and country club (courtesy bus) Loved our stay hear and Teens was so lovely I will book again

Thanks Amy, really appreciated you letting us use your home for our work trip. Was a bit wet but the home was really comfortable. Thanks!

My son and I had a lovely stay at Chanelle’s beach house. It is a cute retro cottage and styled perfectly with a casual beach shack vibe. Plenty of room for parking and both a front and back deck for relaxing. We came with our sneaky toy cavoodle who tried hard but failed to escape from the fully fenced back yard so bravo for that 😁 We also found the washing machine and dryer (Miele) extremely useful Chanelle was a fantastic host- friendly and thoughtful and I would love to come back again

This beautiful quiet, eclectic 3-bedroom home has everything you need - takes you back in time to those lazy homey summer days, outdoor shower, green garden, easy walk to the beach and cafes for scrumptious dinners. We had such a wonderful family time in a quiet but roomy home with all amenities that you need. We listened to the local birds on the front deck, the kitchen has a dish washer and a fantastic chef cook top and oven. We will be back many times through the seasons. Thankyou!!!

Really liked staying with our family here. It had great spaces for cooking, playing board games and hanging out. The best part was the location! Right across from South West Rocks beautiful swimming beaches.

The home was lovely. Really spacious for what we needed. The location couldn't have been better for us as we brought our dog and there's a dog friendly beach about 2 minutes away. The bedrooms are well spread out and the kitchen is functional. But the best part was communication from the host which was both prompt and helpful.

Fantastic stay. We needed a central location for a holiday with two families. This was perfect. Lots of space for the kids to play.

This place is such a gem! Absolutely beautiful home, great location and affordable. Loved the fire and pool, it had everything you need

We had a lovely stay in Greybox in SWR over q long weekend with the grandkids. The house is really lovely with beautiful breezeway living. The kitchen is well appointed so a gourmet cook could probably cook up a storm (we didn't...). The pool was lovely for the little ones. After all the rain in early 2025, the mozzies were out in force, but they were everywhere, not just here. We'll likely return in due course.

My husband and I stayed in Studio 2 for three nights and loved it! The studio was even better in person. Cliff greeted us when we arrived and showed us around. He had the air conditioning on for us because it was hot outside. I had chosen studio 2 because it has a cooktop to cook our meals, an oven and a regular size refrigerator. It also had pots, pans, a rice cooker, plates, bowls, glasses, cups and cutlery, dishwashing liquid, etc. I had hoped to use the gravity water purifier on the bench top, but it took way too long for the water to filter through so we ended up buying water from Stuarts Point Grocery Store which was fine. We enjoyed eating our meals outside. The bed was very comfy. We slept with the window above the bed open to feel the lovely breeze in at night. It was very private, peaceful and quiet. The only noises heard were the rooster, the peacocks and other birds. We greatly enjoyed the heated pool and walking around the property surrounded by the rainforest. We love it!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Nature I recently had the pleasure of staying at Yarralen Retreat in Yarrahapinni, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. If you're looking for a peaceful getaway immersed in nature, this place is a must-visit. Hosts Julie and Cliff are incredible people—they went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and attended to all my requests immediately. Their hospitality made my stay even more special. During my visit, I experienced heavy rainfall, which only added to the serene The rainforest is teeming with peacocks, including a rare white peacock, and I was lucky to see a few peachicks as well. One of the highlights is the picturesque pond, covered entirely with lotus flowers, and a short boardwalk over the water—such a tranquil spot! There's also a yoga deck, where Julie holds yoga sessions every morning at 8:00 AM. I didn’t get a chance to join, but it’s a wonderful addition for those looking to practice mindfulness in a natural setting

Fantastic Place. Loved absolutely everything. Huge bonus that we could have our beloved doggo with us. The pool and Tennis court were well used by us as was the back verandah where we ate, played games and just chilled. Will definitely be booking again in the future.

It was a great stay on the farm! Peaceful cows, horses, kangaroos and friendly dog :) Had such a nice time of unwind and rejuvenation. Thanks so much for the stay

We stayed for a week with our 2 boys and we all absolutely loved the farmhouse. The house was beautiful and felt so homely. The horses were beautiful, friendly and affectionate and we loved feeding them each morning. The location is brilliant, being so close to all of the beautiful beaches and small country towns but far enough away to be so peaceful and quiet. The pool was a fav of the kids and has a gorgeous outlook. The house was tidy and clean with plenty of space for us all. Super comfy beds and the fans were very welcome on some hot nights. Nic is a great host who was so lovely from booking to check out and we definitely recommend staying here.

We had a wonderful stay! Thank you so much. Beautiful location and incredible magnesium pool.

Couldn’t have been more perfect! So clean and tidy, lots of extra amenities, felt like a home away from home for the few days we were there. Couldn’t recommend more!

Madeleine and Des where the most welcoming and friendly hosts and made my 2 golden retrievers feel right at home, fully fenced location for the dogs to roam and the location was very peaceful highly recommend.

OMG 😍 this place is absolutely devine. Gary went out of his way to ensure our stay was amazing, without issue and extremely peaceful. We had 13 of us stay there, there was more than enough room without getting under each others feet. The pool table was a massive hit with everyone and the kids absolutely loved exploring. We will definitely be making this place our yearly family holiday location 😍 Highly recommend booking this place x

The beach is across the road, it's a slice of Byron Bay but without the crowd, such a magical place and plenty to do if you're active and love walking, hiking or just chilling out

Short stay but it was very comfortable and convenient location. Will definitely keep in mind for future travel.

Anna hosted us last minute after a double booking nightmare on another platform. very friendly and helpful, clear instructions, and greeted us on arrival. The apartment is so spacious and well laid out. It has everything you need, views are stunning, morning and evening. we spotted deer and many birds. It wasn't entirely clear to us that the apartment was the downstairs of a 2 storey house. it still feels quite private and seperate, but worth noting. We had a wonderful and very relaxing stay 😊

Beautiful home and loved that it was pet friendly. My dog was very comfortable. Views from every window and lots of essentials available, tea, coffee, salt, pepper, washing powder etc.. Host was very open to all requests. Would definately come back again and will recommend to my friends

This was our second stay at Skye - enjoyed it as much as the first (if not more, because we booked an extra night this time). Water was the perfect temperature for a couple of swims (half hour drive to beautiful Hat Head). Great option if you want some quiet time away.
