Best Friend Holiday Retreat

More Information

Truly dog friendly, Best Friend Holiday Retreat is in Tarra Valley near Yarram, located less than three hours from Melbourne and adjacent to a lovely waterfall with rock pool swimming hole. All cabins are individually fenced and dogs must sleep inside at night.

There are many camping options including caravan and tent sites. Available are individually fenced powered caravan and tent sites, as well as unpowered and unfenced caravan and tent sites. Camping is closed during May – Mid September.

Six securely fenced, off leash areas including a dog playground and a giant dog ball run. Each off-leash area has a toy box upon entrance. If the owners agree, the dogs may mix with other dogs, however as per the dog rules available on the website, you do not enter if someone else is using that particular area unless you ask first.

Just 35 minutes drive away, Woodside Beach, the start of Ninety Mile Beach, is a fantastic off lead beach all year round. Once you get back to Best Friend Holiday Retreat, there is a dog hydro bath available at no additional charge with dog-wash and towels included.

The nearby wonderful Tarra Bulga National Park is a must to visit but as no dogs are allowed, fully-secured day use kennels are available, additional charges apply.

Free wifi available around reception and the Deluxe Cabins!
