Who says you need to plan a family holiday mths/yrs in advance? This is a wonderful tree change getaway for busy Perth locals…drop everything, pack an overnight bag, runners on, pick up your doggie 🐶 and let’s GO! We had the best time recently at the studio. The mixture of relaxation, bush walks and bird calls met with modern comforts of Netflix access, tennis court/pool & supplied essentials allowed us to enjoy our stay fuss free and truly savour this space! Thoroughly recommend this place for a short term “unplug from the daily grind”…it’s just what the (tree) doctor ordered!

So nice to have a place to stay which is so private, lovely accommodation, heaven for our Bluey with room to roam and welcoming hosts. Would love to return. Quentin.

It is rare to find such a gem. Mountolive Studio is a welcoming, comfortable, completely dog friendly accommodation (most places have a list of restrictions even if they say they are dog friendly - dogs can go here, can't do this/that etc.) that is also a beautiful, well-appointed place for people. It was so relaxing to be surrounded by, and be able to see, bush and trees from everywhere within the studio but to also be within easy access to coffee shops, wineries etc. Thank you for sharing your property, and love of dogs, with us.

Very relaxing and comfortable brief stay on short notice

It was really a great night staying at Mountolive studio. The big land and the pool make my dog so happy. Even the night it’s really quiet. I’ll highly recommend Mountolive studio to the people who has dog.

What a lovely break at a lovely little place with my best friend :) Millie and I enjoyed our stay immensely. The studio was beautiful and surrounded by beautiful bush land and gardens. Having the secure areas for dogs was just really great and I felt safe letting Millie run around. Nothing was too much trouble for Junko and I appreciate all the hard work that goes into running a unique accommodation experience. Would love to have the chance to stay again. Thank you :)

I found Mount Olive when searching for a dog friendly holiday getaway. Most places are quite restrictive even when they say dog friendly, but not Mount Olive, which was amazing to stay at in Springtime with the wildflowers. My two dogs had the time of their lives exploring the vast property and were welcomed by Junko and Frank with no judgement, just smiles. It was rejuvenating for me also to spend some time amongst nature in peace. The hosts were very welcoming and accomodating. The studio is stunning, lots of natural light looking into the surrounding bush and gardens from the comfort of inside the studio or relaxing within a secure fence line. Lots of space for the dogs to run free and play safely. It would be nice to see a bigger size fridge and perhaps a small pantry space for those who stay a bit longer than one or two nights, but we made do just fine. The swimming pool is a hidden oasis we were lucky to use one day given the unusual hot weather. I can't wait to come back again sometime soon. I think it would also be lovely in autumn/ winter with the fireplace.

What an amazing property we found. Super accomodating hosts. Reactive dog friendly. With the bush walks, the pool and the awesome studio, it’s a 10/10 from us. Thank you!

What a special place to spend some quality time with my family. The cottage is gorgeous and has everything u could possibly need for a comfortable, enjoyable stay. My furbaby had the best time roaming free, sniffing all the new smells. Listening to the beautiful birds and water flowing in the creek was incredible. Junko and Frank ensured our stay was the best it could be. We can’t wait to return for another stay soon.

We loved our stay at this property. Very comfortable and cosy with the fire in the evenings. The walks were beautiful along the creek and the wild flowers were beautiful. Our highlight is how dog friendly this property is. This is especially important for us as our rescue dog is anxious and reactive so doesn’t get to experience the freedom to run and explore. Mount Olive studio was perfect for him. He had a great time, especially paddling in the creek. We will definitely be back again. Thank you Junko and Frank for sharing your property. Caroline

We had a wonderful weekend at Mount Olive Studio with our dog Winx. We all enjoyed the beautiful gardens, bush tracks, streams and wildlife such as kangaroos, baby ducks and what we are pretty sure was a barn owl! Winx was very excited about exploring and enjoying the smells, and it was a very rare treat to have such an area all to ourselves. We enjoyed sitting outside in the early evening taking in the light and drinking a nice wine. The studio itself was very comfortable and well equipped for self-catering. I forgot some of my warm clothes but it was fine as there is a warm fire, an electric blanket on the bed and some lovely fluffy blankets for snuggling on the couch. We had a lovely time and would love to return, particularly at a time when the garden is in full bloom. Tip for nearby activities - the Parkerville Tavern looks very good, but unfortunately for us the dog friendly area was full when we arrived for lunch, so we went to the Mundaring Hotel instead which is not too far away, has a large dog friendly beer garden and good food 👍

Absolutely stunning property. We stayed with our 2 dogs and one being reactive to other dogs we were able to feel at ease without having to worry about running into other pets and she could be free to explore. The studio itself is also a very cosy place to stay!! Will definitely be back.

The property is private and peaceful. Beautiful big windows allowing you to take in the views. Secure areas close to the property for the dogs to wonder. Plenty of space around the property for the dogs to explore. Lots of wildlife to see. The pool is Beautiful, the dogs enjoyed the swim.

Was the perfect getaway with our 2 doggos! Relaxing in the beautiful surrounds, going for walks on the property, playing tennis and shooting some hoops, having a dip in the pool and finishing it off with outdoor massage under the trees. Pure bliss!

Booked Mountolive Studio for a Birthday staycation! Had an absolutely amazing time. Was so peaceful and refreshing being in nature. Doggy was so excited running around, he even was fetching the tennis balls while the family was playing. Waking up and looking out the huge glass windows to a cup of coffee was the most therapeutic feeling. Will 100% recommend. Thank you Janko, thoroughly enjoyed our stay :)

Our first time staying at Mount olive. What a fantastic place, right in the heart of nature. Welcoming hosts and lots to explore. Our dog loved it as did we. Big thank you to Junko, Frank & Dennis for making our stay comfortable and relaxing. See you again soon!

Stayed for my partners birthday with our two dogs. Property is cosy with beautiful surroundings. Sunsets and sunrise visible. We loved having the stove going while cuddling up in the couch. Bed really comfy and shower was lovely too. Really nice to have somewhere not to far to drive from the city.

We spent two nights at Mountolive Studio. The studio is nice and cozy with everything needed for a relaxing peaceful stay. We took our four month old Chocolate Labrador puppy who really enjoyed the enclosed paddock to run around in. She also enjoyed swimming in the pool. On both evening we got to see "Bob" the Brush tailed Possum, infact we saw 3 different possums. Overall, it was a wonderful two day stay.

What a truly magnificent place to stay. The outlook is amazing. A great place for our babies to roam and play. It is so clean and everything is there to use. The bed is soooo comfortable too! Thank you Junko for making our weekend such a wonderful time. X

The place is not too far from where we live,only The place is 25 mins drive from our house. We check in late becsuse of work. Frank and Junko was very helpful. The studio was stunning with huge window so you can see the tees outside. I love the fireplace to keep me warm, clean and cozy room to relax and unwind. Definitely will comeback again. We enjoyed our stay here

We only live 20mins away from this place but we wanted somewhere to take our furbaby for a mini Vacay. He is a reactive and antic social dog and when the website this place said dogs like Eddie was welcome we had to check it out. This place was amazing! They really cater for your precious furbaby. There was plenty of fenced in yard so he could explore off the lead. He is a small dog. Even though the weather was wet and cold it was perfect and cozy with the fire going and bush walks down to see the flowing creek. We met Bob and his family. Very cool to be in the bush surrounded by wildlife. Couldn’t fault this place at all. The owners make you feel welcome and the wine on arrival was a nice touch. Thanks

Great short break in the hills. Our fur babies had a ball, swimming in the lake and long walks in the bush. We will be back!

We absolutely loved every second of our stay at Mount Olive Studio. The studio was the cutest and cosiest base camp for our exploration around the surrounding bush land, tracks and pubs. The fact that it is dog friendly make it all the more better. Junko was fantastic to deal with and we are so grateful for her and her partner sharing their beautiful space. Can’t wait to be back!!

Peaceful beautiful place, we enjoyed our little holiday, friendly welcoming family Perfect for dogs

We had the most fantastic time away in this beautiful property with our furbabies. My daughter and I could not recommend the beautiful house and property highly enough. Our dogs absolutely loved the space to run around, the pool to cool down in and the very comfy couches to lay on :) Such a wonderful time away.

I had so much fun swimming in the pool and going for sniffy walks around the property and in Mundaring. The hoomans kept stopping to take photos of wildflowers and ohhing and aahing. They need to walk faster and further, there is so much to explore! The hoomans shared some of their yummy tucker, but they didn't give me any of the nice wine they drank. They seemed very happy with the wine and beer in the fridge on arrival. I liked the outdoor table at the Parkerville Tavern very much, and the steak sandwich even more. The drink voucher wasn't as interesting as the bush walk and I refrained from chasing the ducklings so I require a treatie for being a googirl. We all slept very well on the comfy beds and I liked snuggling on the sofa with the dog cover sheet on. Mummy got up at walk o'clock instead of sleeping in because there was so much lovely light coming through the windows. She also said naughty words because the pool was cold- only for hoomans!It's been very hot today and I would like to go back to that cool pool. Mummy was happy that the phone reception was poor because then her work couldn't find her and she could spend more time taking me for walks. I would like to chase the kangaroos, but the hoomans wouldn't let me. They are very big and fierce except the little ones.

We had such an amazing stay here!!! What we loved the most was we could bring our furbaby along to enjoy the property and run around as well! If you are looking for a nice little getaway i would 100% recommend staying here

It was so peaceful and lovely,lovely ppl that own it. Beautiful out in the bush,lovely trails,nice to just sit outside and enjoy the peace.

What a fantastic tranquil location to spend a quiet weekend. Pool and surrounding grounds are gorgeous and the accommodation is very cute and comfortable. Gary (Our rescue dog) Had the best time and was jumping off the rocks into the pool! We will absolutely be back!

I went to Mt Olive Studio with my 2 dogs. Such a peaceful relaxing place. My dogs loved wandering and sniffing out the property which was very safely contained. We loved the walks and the water running g through the bottom of the property. Well equipped well thought out property. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

We stayed mid week for two nights and had the most fantastic time! The little studio is so cute and the surrounding property is so gorgeous, in the two days we spent there we went on numerous strolls around the tracks! They have a great closed in area for the dogs, this alone would make me book again, a very rare find! There were kangaroos and even got to see a wee baby possum! The peacefulness of being in the bushland yet only a few minutes drive to nearby pubs and cafes. One hundred percent would recommend!

We had a wonderful few nights at Mount Olive studio. The cold outside was in contrast to the roaring wood fire inside and sunshine beaming through the high windows of the studio. I was surprised to find such a dog friendly gem such a short distance from Perth. Hidden away surrounded fully by trees it felt as though we were completely away from the world. Yet we were only a short drive to the wonderful Parkerville pub which served amazing food and had abundant walking trails nearby . Mount olive studio is clean and airy with a magnificent bed and linen perfectly situated in the mezzanine floor so you can lay and watch the birds in the trees. The property had running streams and little pools as it was winter time and it was beautiful. Our dog loved it . We would definitely come back .
