Tarra Valley Retreat - Dog Policy

Dogs are welcome at Tarra Valley Retreat!

With the comfort and wellbeing of all our Guests in mind, Tarra Valley Retreat has a set of rules for guests who wish to bring their dog/s.

Dog Behaviour:

The dog must be always supervised and never left unattended at your site.
The dog must be always leashed whilst in the park. A leash must not be more than 2 metres in length, and it must be attached to someone or something. No dog runs are to be set up.
Aggressive dogs are not welcome.
Excessive barking is not considered as good behaviour.
By paying the site fees dog owners agree to abide by all rules relating to dogs in the Retreat. Tarra Valley Retreat staff reserve the right to evict any guest without refund or prior warning for ignoring any rule, or whose dog is deemed noisy, disruptive, aggressive or the subject to complaints from other guests. It is solely the dog owners responsibility to control and manage their dog.
