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 17th 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:
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!
A Super Yappy play session in the beautiful winter sunshine! This is one of our groups of large-breed social dogs.
Featuring some of our regular Doggy Day Care and in-house training clients with Pele the Nova Scotia Duck-Tolling Retriever, Goldie the Labrador, Barney the Airedale, Daisy the Boxer, Cliff the Kelpie and Dudu the Samoyed.

“I love cats because I enjoy my home; and little by little, they become its visible soul."
Jean Cocteau
The Pets Hotel Country Club is situated at Elcho Park and boasts a history that dates back 150 years! The bluestone cottage was originally built in 1867 as the gatehouse to the Elcho Homestead located on the hill on Bacchus Marsh Road and was part of a 4,000 acre estate.
Thank you so much to the staff at Elcho Park Pet Hotel! This was the first time leaving our Mac for more than a night and I was so worried as to how he'd go! Staff were very understanding with this worried mum ringing to check on her puppy! He's come home so relaxed and happy and just want some cuddle time! Highly recommend to anyone needing to leave their pets! Thank you all from the De Marchi's and Mac!
(5 stars) We have 2 high maintenance rescue dogs that have been institutionalised to stay in our local kennels. Unfortunately they were closed over a period recently and we needed to look elsewhere. Elcho Park was recommended to us by our local kennels and we travelled down from Ballan to do a trial. Jocelyn was exceptional and talked us through a long list of obviously well established and used procedures they have in place for difficult to handle dogs. We then subsequently met Ellen and Marnie at check in and check out who were equally knowledgeable, relaxed with handling the boys and encouraging of us keeping in touch to see how the boys progressed. We rang every day!!! Our littlest initially refused to eat which meant he wasn't getting some medication. The girls were extremely creative about getting him comfortable with lots of different snacks, food choices, hiding v crushing up etc. They also went to great lengths to spend time at the pens so he would be more trusting and relaxed. Perseverance paid off and for that we are so grateful. They also came home relaxed, happy and very vocal ... sadly no bark issues here!!! I will agree with others that the pens were a little on the smelly side and the facility does look quite tired and in need of a little love. That said the pens we had the boys in were spotlessly clean and there was lots of clean fresh water when we arrived unannounced to pick them up just after 8:30am Tuesday. All I can say is the team there really is amazing, the efforts they went to working with us was beyond impressive and their commitment to the animals in their care unquestionable. 5 stars from us ☺
(5 stars) Rocky love there service he never says a bad word about them.
