CABN Kuitpo Forest
3 x CABNs | From $315 | Sleeps 2 - 4
Real-life cabins in the woods, less than an hour from Adelaide.
Off-grid cabins where your dog is welcome inside, not just tolerated. 34 of our 39 stays are pet friendly, from the forest trails of Kuitpo, less than an hour from Adelaide, to the vineyards of McLaren Vale, the Barossa and the Clare Valley. CABN’s pet friendly accommodation lets you slow down together, with room to roam and nowhere you need to be.
Connection comes in many forms, and often the most meaningful ones include the companions who walk quietly by your side. At CABN, our dog friendly accommodation in South Australia is designed around shared moments: mornings wandering forest trails together, guided by their curiosity, and evenings beside your cabin as the stillness of nature settles in.
Our pet friendly cabins sit on open acreage, so your dog has real space to explore while you settle into a minimalist, architecturally designed interior. Dog friendly cabins are rarely this considered. Every CABN runs on solar and rainwater, so you disconnect from the grid and reconnect with everything else.

Some of our most-loved pet friendly accommodation sits close to Adelaide, so you can leave after work on Friday and be walking the trails together before dark. CABN Kuitpo Forest is a real cabin in the woods, less than an hour from the city, with walking trails starting right from your door. In the Adelaide Hills, all nine CABN Hahndorf cabins are pet friendly, tucked away in nature just minutes from the village, where the main street welcomes dogs and the Heysen Trail is close by. Both are among the most popular pet friendly cabins near Adelaide, so they book out early on long weekends.
34 of our 39 stays are pet friendly, across CABN, CABN X and CANVS, in seven locations:
Each one gives you dog friendly accommodation in McLaren Vale, the Barossa, the Clare Valley, the Adelaide Hills or the forest, with the same simple pet policy wherever you stay.
Keep the existing Pet Policy table, “what to bring” list and Outdoor Trails section as they are. They’re clear, specific and exactly what owners look for before booking.
CABN guests travel from Adelaide, interstate, and across the country. Here is what they say when they bring the dog.
“We enjoyed a very peaceful autumn night with our dog at CABN Jarrah. It was so nice to explore the forest and then come back to relax at the cabin.”
Georgi
“Love they are pet friendly and our dog loved venturing through the forest and was warm at night despite it being in the cooler months. This has been my favourite location as the scenery is beautiful and walkable with trails nearby.”
Marie
“Our dogs loved it too! CABN provided clear instructions and were highly responsive. We had a great experience and would highly recommend.”
Tara
“The fact we could bring our dog with us was an extra bonus. Waking up to the sounds of nature and fresh country air was just what we needed.”
Mikyla
