A Paradise for Dogs and a Magical Place for Humans

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-Friendly Hot Tub/Jacuzzi
Warm Bubbling Waters: Sink into tranquility surrounded by bushland. Share stories with your dog as stress melts away. 🛁🐾
7. Dog Enclosure
Tail-Wagging Luxury: At The Wagon, we’ve thought of everything—including your furry companions! Our front veranda, BBQ area, and spa zone are all lovingly enclosed, ensuring your dogs can play, relax, and soak up the good life. 🐾🏡🌭🛁

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 🍷🥂

Wonderful staycation with our boys

The wagon was a fantastic and quirky little spot. We had such a fantastic time with our 2 standard Poodles, they were so excited to run around the property, sniffing everything and we were not worried at all! Junko was also extremely attentive and easy to communicate with. Will definitely be coming to stay again!!

Human and dog paradise

The wagon was amazing. Beautifully set up, very clean and organised. Comfy feeling throughout the property. Our pups enjoyed themselves immensely with all the freedom they had to run around. Jacuzzi was amazing at sunset with the complimentary wine. we had a great time
