A Paradise for Dogs and a Magical Place for Humans
🐾 A Paradise for Dogs and a Magical Retreat for Hoomans!🐾
At Mountolive Studio, we’ve crafted a unique experience for you and your furry friends, just 30 minutes from Perth CBD—no flights needed! Every moment here is a chance to create cherished memories.
Here’s what you can look forward to:
1. Four Private Trails
Secret Pathways: Explore dappled sunlight, rustling leaves, and glimpses of wildlife. Whether you stroll leisurely or hike invigorating trails, your dog will lead the way. 🌿🐕
2. Winter Water Escapes
Natural Pools, Dam, and Creek: Dip toes (and paws!) into cool water. Listen to the creek’s gentle babble. It’s a serene winter escape shared only with nature. ❄️🌊
3. Award-Winning Swimming Pool
Memory-Making Oasis: Dive in together, play fetch, or float under the sky. Our dog-friendly pool is more than water—it’s where memories unfold. 🏊♂️🐶
4. Exquisitely Landscaped Gardens and Rock Walks
🌸 Canine Oasis: Amidst our meticulously landscaped gardens and charming rock walls, your furry companions can explore blooms and lush greenery. 🌸🐾🌸🐾
5. Tennis and Basketball Court
Friendly Matches: Imagine tennis and basketball amidst natural beauty. Your dog might even become the official ball retriever! 🎾🏀
6. Dog Enclosure
Tail-Wagging Luxury: Our four-legged guests find magic here. The secure BBQ and Palm Courtyard area meet wagging tails. Attached is a large enclosure of over 800m² for your dogs’ freedom. 🐾🏡🌭🛁
Feel free to explore and create beautiful memories with your furry companions! It’s not just a property; it’s an invitation to be part of something timeless. 🌟🐾
Free Wine and Beer on arrival: We’d love to know your wine preference—red, rosé, or white. Cheers! 🍷🥂
Free Drink tickets: Feel free to use our complimentary drink tickets at Parkerville Tavern, where the dog-friendly front veranda awaits. It’s just a quick 5-minute drive from Mountolive Studio 🍷🥂

Why they chose this property
🌿 Mountolive Studio: Where Tails Wag and Hearts Melt 🐾
At Mountolive Studio, we extend the warmest welcome to your furry companions. No discrimination here—whether they’re pint-sized paws or majestic fluffballs, all are embraced! We understand the heartstrings that tug when leaving your precious fur baby behind. That’s why we’ve meticulously crafted a pet-friendly haven just for you.
Here’s what awaits your four-legged friends:
Spoiled Rotten: Our fur babies live the good life, and yours will too! From plush dog toys to a raised bed fit for a canine king or queen, their comfort is our priority. 🛏️👑
Paws on Sofas: Worried about those stylish sofas? Fear not! We’ve prepared old sheets—because every pup deserves a cozy spot to curl up. 🛋️🐾
Dining Delights: Bowls? Check. Dog treats upon arrival? Double check. We believe in pampering our guests (both two- and four-legged) with utmost care. And yes, free wine and beer for hoomans upon arrival. 🍷🍺
Doggy Door Magic: Imagine a doggy door leading straight to the BBQ area. Your pup can sniff the breeze while you whip up culinary delights. 🚪🍖
And fear not, explorers! If you’re off to nearby national parks or cruising the Swan River, we’ve got your dog’s back. Arrange for their care with a small fee, and rest easy knowing they’re in capable hands.
So pack your bags, leash up your best friend, and step into Mountolive Studio—a place where tails wag and memories bloom. 🏡🐶❤️

What makes this property unique
The Studio: Your Tranquil Haven 🌿🏡🐾

Elegance Within: Step inside to elegant decor—a symphony of home. Upstairs, a king-size bed cradles you in luxury. Sun-kissed mornings filter through eucalyptus-scented windows. Swing open the front door to an inviting BBQ area, where laughter dances with the aroma of sausages. 🛏️🌞🍔
Comforts Uncompromised: The bathroom, a sanctuary, washes away the day’s dust. Nearby, a silent washing machine ensures your attire remains pristine. 🚿👕
Canine Paradise: Our four-legged guests find magic here. The secure BBQ and Palm Courtyard area meet wagging tails. Attached is a large enclosure of over 800m² (equivalent to 3-4 full-size tennis courts!) for your dogs’ freedom. 🐶🎾
And guess what? The Studio comes with a kitchen too! 🍳
