Golden Retriever Retreat

Our dog Johnny is just back from the best 3.5 weeks of his doggy life. Such a great experience for him, and we got photos and videos daily which made it such an easy experience to be away from our pup for a long time. Would 110% recommend and we look forward to seeing the whole gang again soon!!

16 month old Fletcher had the best 3 nights! He made new friends, had lovely new experiences like meeting goats and an alpaca, and was so well cared for by Vanessa and her lovely family. Can't wait for there to be a window where he can stay again. Goldie bliss.

If I could give GRR more than 5 stars I would! Our Humphrey had the best 3 weeks under the care of Vanessa and her family, we had absolute peace of mind that Humphrey could not have stayed anywhere with a higher level of love, fun, and responsibility. The property is perfect and clearly they love goldies so much. We can't wait for another opportunity for Humphrey to stay again.

Short version: Heaven on Earth!Longer version: Our goldie, Bowie, had the most amazing time at Vanessa's Retreat this Christmas. It's all you could dream of for your dog and more. First, the property is stunning and one that could easily be the most popular AirBnB in the area - think extensive grounds, charming house, private lake and more. Second, the dogs are treated like family and have the most amazing time with one another (we know how goldies love playing with each other) but also with Vanessa and her family who take them for regular walks by the ocean and provide them with constant activities and enrichment. Third, Vanessa was the most amazing for the whole month we were away with daily whatsapp pictures and videos of Bowie - we ended up having more photos of Bowie from that month than from the whole previous year! Finally, when we got Covid in Europe and had to delay our return to Sydney for another month, Vanessa was amazing in taking care of Bowie and ensured we did not have to worry about him. Only downside - your dog will definitely like the Retreat more than your own home ;-)

Brielle loves staying with Vanessa, Leo and Layla at Golden Retriever retreat. It’s so nice to know that she’s having her own holiday while we’re away, exploring the farm and the bush, swimming at the beach and having a ball rolling in things we’re glad we don’t have to wash off her! Most importantly, we know Brielle is being loved, pampered and adored, living inside as one of the family. Can’t recommend Golden Retriever Retreat enough!

This place is every golden retrievers heaven. I’ve never met people that are so passionate about the care and happiness of your dog. The dogs are so loved and cared for and have the best time roaming around exploring and hanging with their friends. I had to coax my dog to leave! Definitely rebooking!
