All doggie guests must be up to date with vaccinations for their own protection and that of future doggie guests. Please ensure flea and tick treatments are also up to date as Pearl Beach is a known tick habitat with Bandicoots (tick carriers) frequenting our yard.

Well behaved house- trained dogs are allowed inside when supervised, but not in the bedrooms or on any furniture.

Anxious home alone barkers need to be managed so as not to unduly impact our resident neighbours.

No chewing the furniture or mats or digging up the garden!

Please pick up after your dog and check the yard is clear at the end of your visit out of respect for the next guests.
