PARK RULES CONCERNING DOGS

(just common sense and common courtesy)

To ensure harmony and consideration of all guests, we ask that our Park Rules be respected.
Best Friend Holiday Retreat has been designed to allow dog owners peace-of-mind whilst on holidays.
We believe our Rules help achieve this objective.

Owner's Responsibility

Owners must take absolute responsibility for their dogs’ behaviour whilst in the Park.
Dogs are to be kept on leash at all times except in designated off-leash areas.
Owners are to correctly dispose of all droppings both within the Park and along Tarra Valley Road.
Dogs are not to be allowed to chase, harm, or otherwise disturb wildlife.
Abuse, physical, verbal, or otherwise will not be tolerated.
We ask that you wash your hands after any contact with animals.

Dog's Health

Dogs visiting the park must have a current record of vaccination.
Dogs must be otherwise healthy and free of fleas, worms, and other parasites.

Dog's Temperament

Aggressive dogs (or their owners) are simply not welcome.
Excessive Barking or other noise is not considered acceptable behaviour.

Off-leash Areas

Dogs may only enter an off-leash area if not currently in-use, or by invitation of the current user.

Owners are to accompany their dogs at all times while in the off-leash areas

General

Dogs likely to jump over, or otherwise evade the park’s fences are to be kept on-leash at all times, including inside the off-leash areas.

Dogs are not to be left unattended in the Park – either take them with you, or make use of our day kennels.

At night, dogs are to sleep inside – this applies equally to cabins or caravans and tents.

Dogs are not permitted inside communal facilities (i.e, amenities block or laundry.)

Best Friend Holiday Retreat is a dog-friendly property. We cannot accept other companion animals.

Cabin Specific

Only completely house trained dogs are permitted inside the Park’s cabins. Additional cleaning charges may apply if we detect ‘accidents’ inside.

Dogs are not to be left unattended inside the cabins, or their yards.

Dogs are not to be washed inside the cabins – please make use of the free hydrobath instead.

Visiting Friends

With or without dogs must report to reception on arrival, or as soon as practical, and if applicable, sign the dog rules agreement and pay the appropriate visitors’ fee.
