August at The Pets Hotel Country Club!

We are happy to report that we are almost through the winter months! There are changes happening at The Pets Hotel Country Club that tell us spring is on the way; the grass is growing, the pony is losing his winter coat, the trees are beginning to blossom and the sun has more warmth to it.

We are also getting closer to the next lot of school holidays! These begin on 17^th September so if you were going away, now is the time to get your bookings in as most types of accommodation are beginning to be booked out.

Looking ahead towards the end of the year and Christmas is not too far away. We have limited availability in some of our accommodation types for the main dates so if you need your pets looked after please let us know sooner rather than later.

Just a reminder to have a read through our House Rules so that you are up to date with our boarding conditions prior to booking and checking into the facility. Here are the main points pertaining to the Christmas and New Year period:

• While we attend to our guests 365-days per year, our reception is closed on all Public Holidays and no pets will be checked-out or checked-in on these days.

• All pets staying with us between December 24^th and January 2^nd, require a 10-day minimum stay.
  
  
• There is no peak period surcharge; however, any dogs who must be housed by themselves will incur a single-supplement fee of 50%
  
  
• We require a $100 minimum deposit to confirm your booking. If this is not received by the cut-off date, your booking will no longer be valid and those on our waiting list will be contacted.
  
  
• As the health and safety of all pets boarding with us is paramount, it is a requirement that all pets have been vaccinated at least a fortnight prior to boarding and within the last 12 months, or will not be permitted into the facility.

To make a booking call us on (03) 5282 1286 or to complete an online booking form, click here.

Please note that if we are not able to guarantee a place for your pet at time of booking, we can add them to a waiting list, and you will be contacted once a place becomes available. 

Well Wishes and Congratulations!

The Pets Hotel Country Club would like to wish our Supervisor, Ellen and her husband Richard all the best with the birth of their first child! Ellen is due in October and has been enjoying time at home preparing the nursery prior to her baby’s birth. We cannot wait to meet the newest family member when the time comes!

Congratulations go to our CEO, Lauren who has recently become engaged to her partner Daniel! While Lauren received the traditional diamond, we think Daniel is the real winner with the addition of a new puppy Rottweiler, Ava as his ‘engagement present’. All the best with the wedding plans guys!
