Geodome in Paradise
Where: Knysna, Western Cape, South Africa
Who says pet-friendly accommodation is boring?
The Geodome in Paradise sits on the edge of South Africa's largest forest and is the ultimate escape for nature lovers.
Take your dogs on hikes through the wilderness, drive to the beach (about 20 minutes away) and enjoy starlit evenings in the outdoor bath.
If you're visiting in the winter months, cosy up to the indoor fireplace with a good book and fall asleep to the sounds of nature.
The Shack
Where: Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa
Llandudno is an exclusive area in Cape Town that is home to one of the most beautiful beaches in South Africa - Llandudno Beach.
The Shack is a 70-year-old pet-friendly Airbnb right on the picturesque dunes. Located under Milkwood trees, you and your doggo are only minutes away from the sparkling blue Atlantic waters.
Once hunger strikes, set up the braai under the trees or head into Camps Bay for sundowners on the strip.
