Frequently Asked Questions

Do you allow dogs in the Park?

Dogs are welcome year round on caravan and camping sites and selected cabin accommodation, including all peak period times, at the Manager's discretion.

Dogs are not permitted inside any of our non pet-friendly accommodation or facilities (with the exception of registered Guide Dogs), but they are permitted on cabin balconies.

Please contact us directly on (03) 6425 2624 to discuss your pet and travel needs. An additional $25 cleaning fee is applicable for all cabin bookings with dogs, which is charged on arrival.

Do you allow camp fires in the park?

Yes, we do allow campfires on our caravan and camping sites however not directly on the grass (local fire conditions permitting).

Fires must be enclosed and off the ground in a fire pot or brazier with a protective base (such as pavers) under the pot. You will need to bring your own fire pot and firewood. Fees will apply if damages are made to grass sites.

Do you guarantee sites or cabins?

Whilst we do our best to cater for guest requests, we are unable to guarantee site or cabin numbers. You are guaranteed a site or cabin within the category that you have booked. Due to operational reasons, sites and cabins are allocated at the discretion of the park and may be moved without notice to a site or cabin within the same category, for example due to a maintenance issue or to accommodate a longer booking.
