At that price it must have gold plated sites

This was a complete holiday mate, not just a place to park the Van for the night....big difference in what you would expect to pay for a daily tariff IMO....what's $48 daily tariff, in relation to those unreal resort prices you see on 'Getaway type shows....I paid in one week what they pay for a nights' stay somewhere....I live in the real world...this represented great value to us for what it provided...and the amenities actually were very useful....not a jumping castle in sight.....Hoo Roo

Thanks Goldie,

It's good to know of. I'd rather the yards than jumping castles any day. A bit outside my budget but for a special treat acceptable.

Yep have been to the Tarra Valley in Gippsland a number of times, what a Great rainforest area. very nice part of the world. Yep. that price is not in my normal range neither, However just look at the size of the sites ?/ and the Useful amenities they offer, They advertise and cater for dog owners, In fact i once seen an advertisment for them, that was aimed at the Doggy population, with a footnote that The dog owners are also welcome but only if under control, and at managers discretion ?

Plus i seem to remember that dog minding was also avail, at very low cost, so you are free to go and visit the wonderful rainforest area's As you say, $48 per night, you would not want to live there, but for a week or to special holiday doggy stress free. Is reasonable.

This place is definitely on my go-to list. I have read about it elsewhere too. For what it appears to offer, and its attitude, the price seems reasonable to me. Should be more like it!

I hope you didn't wander around the lawns with your detector, Goldie.

We stayed there a few years ago with our little dog. It was great. We had our own fenced site, so we could relax with our little dog being off lead in our area. They have cabins too that allow dogs. It is a little pricey, but a great place to holiday with your pooch

Phantom..if you can't improve on silence, why bother with the vitriolic comments.....

Go easy....we are all entitled to our opinions on where we stay and we certainly prefer non-dog parks - that's our choice. Dog friendly places are great for dog owners who take their dogs whilst those of us who don't take our dogs are entitled to stay at a dog free park if we so wish. Horses for courses.

Turning everyone's POSITIVE post into a negative is not what I call expressing an opinion.....adds nothing to the positive post and is a lame attempt to detract from it.....if it is not called for what it is, I suggest posts will get out of hand once again like recent events...the only thing positive about his posts is his negativeness..stick his continued negative posts where the sun don't shine....must a happy post such as this have to be closed as well because of constant white-anting?.........Hoo Roo

We are in Tin Can Bay at Kingfisher - definitely dog-friendly. Beach right across the road, so good to get him out and running. A lot of cattle dogs in other vans.

We picked this one as it is not exactly 'child-friendly' - no jumping pillow, no pool, no play equipment or games room (our 'baby' is almost 20, we've done the kid thing). We did not pick it because it was pet friendly, at arrival we had a lorikeet, and no plans to get a dog. Now we have the dog, we are so glad we chose to come here. Will keep the retreat on our list for when (if) we head south again.

Cheers.

What a wonderful idea, so good for those with dogs, will have to put it on our list to visit when we finally get a chance to travel. Thanks for sharing :)
