About
One of the region's oldest kennels, boarding on State Highway 26 at Newstead since 1961, with a cattery and an on-site dog spa. Dog rates run by size, with family units for dogs that share, and an in-house vet is on hand if needed. Holiday and long-weekend stays require a deposit, and discounts pause over the Christmas peak.

What owners say
We've been taking our pets to the Lodge for over 20 years. Our current dog goes most days for doggy kindy (aka daycare); he rushes in the door each morning with huge enthusiasm, which is a great indicator that he's happy there. The staff are wonderful - they know each dog by name, let us know how they're doing (including messages while we were on an extended overseas trip), and make us feel like a part of the family. Our cats go there too, for the occasional holiday stay. They're always very well looked after (on occasion it's been hard to get them to leave). And the charges for daycare, sleepovers, & longer stays are very reasonable. I'm 110% happy to recommend the Lodge to everyone.

My dog’s second home, they treat your animals as if they were their own with love and respect, I couldn’t recommend them highly enough!

Absolutely amazing boarding that took care of my dog 'Ghost' when I was at a wellness retreat for four weeks. I don't think he wanted to leave :) Thank you
