The Pawfect Coffee Shop, Wilderness, South Africa

Say hello to the best & pup-friendliest coffee spot the Garden Route has to offer - The Commonage.

Loves our pups being there as much as we do. 10s to the off-leash park. Water bowl on tap. Generator too. Supports locally produced treats and gifts. Run by the lovely Ross and Karen Cairns. For one-of-a-kind artworks by Ross go here > Wilderness Folk. Honestly, not sure who looks forward to this place more, our pups or us? Have a look at Rollo making himself right at home and even Teddy who went shopping the second he could. If you’re wondering where Ally is, she’s keeping guard, waiting for all her new fwiends, while the hoomans tickle her head.

Pawesome Places for your fur kids

Hello fur moms and dads. Welcome to my blog, where you’ll find the best, personally-vetted places and spaces in South Africa to take your fur kids. We’re a family that loves to travel and have been taking our own fur kids all over the country for nearly a decade now. There’ve been some hits and misses along the way. We want to share the hits, those wonderful, truly pup-friendly South African places we go back to again and again. Our hope is that you’ll be inspired to hop into your cars, drive cross country or even just around the corner and experience pure joy and luxury with your own fur kids too.

So excited to finally be sharing this with you all. Looking forward to seeing your smiley pups enjoying these Pawesome Places. Love, Hayley.
