Tours & bookings

See the suites before the suitcases are packed.

New guests tour the barn on weekday afternoons at 15:00 or 16:30. Rosalind or Callum walks you through the dog suites, the cat wing and the paddock while your pet sniffs the hay bales. After that, we hold your dates for forty-eight hours.

Drop-off windows: 8:00–10:00 and 16:00–18:00 daily.

What the barn tour covers

  1. 01

    Twenty minutes in the suites

    You see the room your pet would use, the heating and the bedding, and meet the carer who would look after them.

  2. 02

    A lap of the paddock

    Dogs walk the same route they would on a stay. Cats tour the condo wing from outside the glass.

  3. 03

    Vaccination check

    Bring certificates or photos on your phone so we can confirm your pet is ready to book.

  4. 04

    Dates held for two days

    If the tour goes well, we pencil your stay in the book while you confirm travel plans.

Getting ready

What to bring

Vaccination certificates

Originals or clear photos from your vet, showing dates and the vet's stamp or signature.

One familiar thing

A well-worn blanket, a favourite toy or an unwashed T-shirt helps a pet feel at home.
