Must Love Dogs was an absolutely lovely place to stay in Rutherglen. Emilia and I, and our two greyhounds. Jetty and Jeffro thoroughly enjoyed our two nights there! Chris was the most attentive host, giving us great advice about the area and making sure we had everything we needed. Breakfasts were excellent and very relaxing under the garden awning. The swimming pool was perfect with the temps in the upper 30s and the dogs had a seriously fun time. Rutherglen is a really great regional location to visit and we will certainly be back. Thanks again Chris!

Best bed and breakfast ever. Chris the host is funny and charming and she does everything possible to make her human and canine guests happy and comfortable. She is an excellent cook; we were provided with a welcoming afternoon tea and breakfasts were delicious.

We had a four night stay with our fur baby Bobby. Our suite was spotlessly clean, the bed super comfy and the heritage touches made for a wonderful overall feeling. Breakfasts and dinner platter were delicious. Chris is an amazing host and was super helpful regarding local attractions. Bobby loved the secure yard and meeting Chris' fur babies. Highly recommended especially if you are travelling with your fur baby/babies.

We loved our stay in every way! Chris was so welcoming and helpful from the moment she confirmed our booking to saying our reluctant goodbyes. We stayed in the Garden Suite which was cosy with pretty decor and some lovely touches such as hand cream and fabulous bath salts to enjoy in the beautiful claw foot bath. It was an easy walk into town, and also to Jones and De Bortoli wineries. We absolutely loved Chris and Charlie's gorgeous dogs! We don't have a dog ourselves but really enjoyed all the attention from their five adorable fur babies. Chris cooked up a delicious breakfast of Eggs Benedict, served in a beautiful dining room, and we enjoyed our long and engaging chats with Chris. We hope to be able to visit again! Thanks Chris, Charlie and pups.

We arrived for a 2 night stay at Chris and Charlie's BnB and were immediately impressed by the private, well-kept garden attached to our suite. Stepping inside the residence, we felt immediately at home in the immaculate, lovingly crafted space. Dog knick-knacks and artwork, a gorgeous clawfoot tub, and even some dog biscuits to welcome ourselves and our dogs into a rejuvenating and truly pet friendly stay. As if this wasn't enough, our eggs benedict and secret family recipe pancakes were divine! During our stay Chris, Charlie, and their gang of beautiful pups treated us as if we were a part of their family. Such a warm and friendly environment, we were sad to go home at the end of our stay! I would recommend Must Love Dogs BnB to dogs lovers everywhere! Thank you for a wonderful stay, we and our dogs will certainly be returning! ❤️

Our stay at Must Love Dogs B&B was an absolute delight! The moment my partner and 2 dogs (Luna [Beagle] and Oscar [Kelpie X]) stepped onto their beautiful historical property, I felt like I had entered a true home away from home. The love for dogs is palpable in every corner, making it a haven for fellow dog enthusiasts and their pawed friends big and small. We stayed in the Garden Suite and had the absolute best time. Our usual escape artist and muck maker had a genuinely good time without a chance of escaping or making a mess. What makes this place truly special is the personal touch. The Chris and Charlie not only welcome you but also your four-legged friends with open loving arms. From cozy dog-friendly spaces to thoughtful amenities, they go above and beyond to ensure a memorable, loving stay. But it's not just about the property; it's about the people. The owners' passion for creating a homey atmosphere is evident in every interaction. You don't just stay at Must Love Dogs B&B; you become part of a warm and welcoming family, where history, furry companions, and genuine hospitality weave together to create an unforgettable experience. I hope you go and see Chris and Charlie. They couldn't have been better hosts. I would live there if I could! PS. Charlie knows his Muscat! Thanks Chris for the Eggs Benedict and the Pancakes :) Hope you see you again soon! - Lachlan (17/12/2023)

Wow! What a greeting! So lovely to meet Chris and Charles and their beautiful dogs. Our 2 rough Collies finally had someone big to play with... Gigi the Great Dane puppy! Such a sweetheart. The Garden suite was beautiful. I was concerned about dog smells, but it was sparkling clean and no trace of a dog being there the night before. The garden provided a lot of room for my boys to run as well as s safe enclosure when we wanted to go out. Chris mentioned she had bath salts for sale made by a local, and I couldn't pass up the claw-foot bathtub - double win for me! I also have to comment on how clean the entire outdoor area was - all the mulch and the 'grass' areas. Remarkable! Chris's breakfast - eggs Benedict! - was delicious. The coffee was better than we've had in a number of cafes. Even our dogs were provided with treats! Lovely to sit out by the pool reading, or under the pergola having a coffee and a chat. Chris's advice on where to go out for dog-friendly lunch and dinner, and Charlie's wine tour was great fun. He's such a character! Thanks again, Chris and Charles, for making our getaway weekend comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable for the 4 of us. We will definitely be back!

Paid for a queen room with a bed and a sofa bed, got a bed and not the other. No kitchen sink, had to wash cups in bathroom, and when we arrived there was dog poo and pre chewed bones all around the back yard, to the entrance that we though we were meant to use. The owner refuses to acknowledge that there was an issue. I had to sleep on the floor as my husband had recent surgery and we could not share the bed. 2 plates and cutlery were in a draw in the bedroom next to the dust pan and broom. No Glasses to use. Absolutely gutted that I feel so inclined to write this message - but $254 for a cold floor we left by 6.30am for a long drive back to Sydney suburbs.
