We encourage customers to use our online booking platform accessible here.

Bookings should be made with as much notice as possible. Bookings for peak periods, such as Easter, Christmas, Long weekends, should be made a minimum of 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure availability.

Our policy is to provide each guest with their own room. If you have multiple animals (of the same species) we are happy to accommodate them together. From time-to-time certain dogs may be better suited to having a companion animal in their room - we promise to keep you informed if we think your dog should share its room and only do so with your prior knowledge. Cats from different families do not share rooms.

Daily charges for dogs include all Boarding, bedding, premium Royal Canin food, twice daily exercise sessions and a hydro bath and groom prior to returning home for stays 5 days or longer.

Daily charges for cats include all boarding, bedding, premium Royal Canin food, daily exercise and playroom session and a groom prior to returning home.

If you would like your dog to play with other like-minded creatures we recommend adding Supervised Super Playtime to its stay.

With Super Playtime your dog will have a chance to play with other dogs. Beforehand, to ensure all dogs are safe, your pet will be temperament assessed for suitability and get the opportunity to stretch their legs in one of our on-site dog parks.

Our experienced staff ensure that all your pets needs are well taken care of. If there is any regular medication that your pet takes please pack it with them in a well labelled container and let our helpful staff know. There is an additional charge of $5 per day for the preparation and administration of medication.

Yes, we pride ourselves on being transparent with customers and as such encourage all customers to come inspect the accommodation before their pets stay.

Inspections are offered everyday by appointment during opening hours.

Inspections are not available during long weekends or holiday periods as we are busy attending to the needs of the pets in our care, they take absolute priority.

We recommend if you wish to view the accommodation you do so before commencement of your booking as we prefer you say goodbye to your pets at reception when dropping off, as it makes for a smoother transition and is generally a lot better for your pets.

For the peace and comfort of our guests these hours are strictly adhered to.

Firstly be sure you have your current vaccination certificate, as entry will be refused without proof of vaccination.

If you wish to bring along any personal belongings, you are more than welcome to do so, just make sure it is nothing too precious!

All dogs must be on a lead and all cats and pocket pets must be in a secure carrier on arrival.

If prescription medication is required ensure you bring it in the original container with veterinary directions and please bring an ample supply in case of delays on your return. For over the counter medications ensure you provide an ample supply for your pets visit.

No, we provide everything your animal needs for its retreat and only provide the best Royal Canin cuisine. Guests are more than welcome to bring their own food if they have a preference for this. If you do elect to bring your own food, please ensure it is well labelled.

For any wet food please ensure it is divided into the meal-sized portions.

We are happy to accommodate customers that wish to supply their own food for no additional charge.

Please note that your pets energy levels may increase during their stay and in order to keep your pet in the best health increases in food intake may be required, so please ensure you bring an adequate supply for your pets stay.

For any wet food please ensure it is divided into the meal-sized portions.

We hear this quite a lot, we tend to find it is more often than not mum and dad who will be a bit stressed by the situation. Everyone can get a little upset when leaving their family member behind, this is a very natural feeling so please don’t be embarrassed (we always have tissues on the desk). We are all very attached to our own pets too and share our bed with them, we also get attached to the pets in our care and endeavour to treat them as we would our own fur babies.

If owners can stay calm and relaxed on drop off’s we find this helps the pet settle in with ease. Dogs are mostly social animals and once mum and dad are out of sight all the continual exciting new things like other animals, change of environment and all the sounds and smells fill their heads. Don’t worry they will still be very happy to see you on your return and tell you all about their adventures and hopefully be very tired too.

We can cater to both long term and day care requirements. So whether you are travelling for a few days or heading overseas for a few months we can assist you in your needs. Dependant on the dates required long term discounts may be applicable.
