Boarding Kennels

Our boarding kennels are situated amongst the tea-tree, in a very sunny sheltered position. For the  large dogs there is a large exercise area where they are out most of the day playing with each other. We match their personality and energy levels with other dogs so they have the maximum amount of fun. For the water loving dogs there is a trough for them to splash and play in. Medium dogs (Foxies etc) have a seperate area with their own cabin under the trees, complete with armchair, and their own lawn so they are free 24/7. Only room for two dogs so book early. Small ( handbag size) dogs have a wee area up close to the house where they generally join in with the family. We can cater for only 2 small dogs as well so book early. All you need to bring is their vaccination records we provide blankets and food. If they have a favourite blanket or toy that will make them feel more at home you can bring that along as well. Small dogs $10 per night.  Med - Large dogs $15 per night. Over 21 days 10% discount.

Drop off and pick up times: 8am - 10 am and 3pm - 5pm

Cattery

We have made the cattery out of a shade house that was already here so the cats have a large outside area with plants, a fish pond with waterfall and large logs to climb and scratch on. Their sleeping area is a nice cosy area with french doors opening out into the secure outside area.  Cats : $7 per night  - over 21 days 10% discount

Drop off and pickup times: 8am - 10am and 3pm - 5pm

Alternative Powered Cabin

This cabin is nestled into the bush with water views. This is the holiday spot for the people who are really into having time out and at the same time staying somewhere that is sustainable. The cabin has a solar panel to run the lights and a small stereo, a gas water heater, cooker and fridge, and a composting toilet. A very compact wee cabin with a double bed and a sofa that can be folded out if needed. It is made with lovely  wood panelling on the ceilings, and the walls have been painted with bio-paints which are all natural. A real nice spot for getting Back2Nature.
