For this park

We love dogs here at BIG4 Saltwater!

Please note that the word 'pet' refers to dogs only and they are more than welcome if they are calm and the owners are respectful of other guests (and our native wildlife) and their peaceful stay so something to remember are;

• all dogs will only be accepted at the Managers discretion
• they must be on a lead at all times with the exception of the exercise park.
• they are allowed in 'pet friendly' cabins but not on the furniture or bedding
• they are not allowed to enter the park facilities such as the camp kitchens, showers, waterpark etc.
• they must NOT be left alone at any time of the day or night
• your pets 'mess' must be picked up and disposed of in bins provided
• and please do not let your dog bark for excessive periods as it is disturbing to other guest relaxation

--------------------------------

One of the great things about our park is how much room we have. When you come and stay with us and bring your dog along, you're pretty much welcome to take your dog anywhere you like in the park (on the leash of course).

And with 130 acres of bushland to work with there's plenty of room to get out and about.

We have also recently added an off-leash dog play area that is fully fenced and boasts a number of fun features such as ramps & tunnels for your dog to play on.

In terms of accommodation, we have both powered and unpowered sites available for camping with dogs.

If you'd prefer a cabin we have you covered there as well. There are 3 x Banksia cabins, 4 x Figtree cabins and 3 x Casuarina cabin available for couples or families travelling with a dog.

And the good news is we are now taking dogs during school holidays as well as off peak periods.

So if you have a dog and you're looking for somewhere peaceful to pull up stumps for a few days (or longer) than we are definitely worth checking out.

We are happy to accept the majority of dog breeds and sizes, but in the end all decisions about whether your dog will be permitted to stay with us are at the manager's discretion.

There is an additional accommodation charge per dog of $5/nt for sites and $12/nt for cabins.

NB - If you do have a dog, please give us a call and book over the phone rather than online - that way we can book you on the most suitable site or in the right cabin.

Credit card guarantee: All bookings require a credit card for security. Your credit card number will be held by an encrypted link for the duration of your booking and stay.

Examples of unforeseen circumstances: bad weather (ie. excess rain), death in family, transport difficulties (ie. plane strike or flights being cancelled), severe emergency events (ie. flood, fire). Insurance policies vary between companies so take the time to research thoroughly to ensure you are protected against all issues that may be encountered.

Any faults or breakages discovered by the guest must be reported within one (1) hour of arrival or we may consider damages to be responsibility of the guest.
