Got a 4-legged family member who’d love to join you on a day trip or weekend away? Head to the City of Ipswich where there are plenty of dog-friendly venues to sniff out.
Take a stroll by the Bremer River and then settle in for breakfast at Rafter & Rose in the city’s Top of Town precinct. There’s an all-day brunch menu designed to make you drool and your furry friend will love hanging out with you in the café’s shady laneway.
Not a breaky fan? Head to Pumpyard Bar & Brewery for lunch and a frosty ale, with Fido by your side. Or take Rover to the Rusty Nail for tapas and cocktails.
If you’re more of a gin and tonic fan, Imbibis Craft Distillery is about as dog friendly as they come. The owners used to breed and show Dobermans – so well-behaved canine customers are more than welcome. Try some tastings while your best friend chills out.
Thinking of staying longer than a day in the City of Ipswich? No kennel required at Ruth’s Cottage – a sweet little Air BnB that welcomes you and your fur baby.
There are water bowls, a pet bed and basket of toys for the discerning four-legged guest.
Check out the Discover Ipswich website for loads of day-out inspiration for you and your pet.
