PARK INFORMATION

The following information and guidelines are provided to ensure guests at Our Retreat have an enjoyable stay. We have attempted to balance the differing needs of the large range of people who stay in the Retreat with our needs to preserve the park as an enjoyable place to stay and as a viable operation.

There is no television reception in Tarra Valley so Televisions are DVD players only (DVDs can be hired from the office).

We try to provide a pleasant, well-maintained Retreat. Some camping sites will vary a little in size and some may slope a little. This is in keeping with our desire to provide a natural-style park.

Powered sites are available with a standard 3 pin, 15amp outlet. Since this is an older park, earth leakage is not provided. It is in the interest of the site occupier to provide their own earth leakage system.

All sites are leased daily and are limited to the area nominated by the Retreat Manager.

Dogs: There are specific guidelines for guests who would bring their dogs to our Retreat. We ask that you indicate if bringing your furry friend and our dog guidelines will be emailed to our guests at the reservation stage. Dogs are only permitted with site bookings, by prior arrangement only. Dogs are not permitted in the BBQ Sheds,Cabins, Playground, or near the Toilet Block. Dogs are NOT permitted with Cabin bookings. All doggy doo must be collected and placed in a plastic bag and put in the rubbish bins. Dogs are NOT allowed in the National Park.

Dogs must be on a lead at all times, and not left unattended. Dog owners are responsible, and will be held to be so, for any injuries and/or property damage or losses in relation to any actions by or because of their dog.

By paying the site fees dog owners agree to abide by all rules relating to dogs in the park. 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.

You are most welcome to have a fire in one of the BBQ sheds. Fire Wood is available for $20.00 a bag.
