The chalet is pet-friendly and welcomes well-behaved dogs. If travelling with a pet, please include them in your guest numbers at the time of booking. Please note the chalets are unfenced, and the surrounding area includes access to deep water, so pets should be supervised. Kangaroos are common in the area, and other dogs may be staying in nearby chalets, so we recommend keeping pets under control or on a lead during your stay.
