Pet Policy

Morvern Valley Guesthouse prides itself on being pet friendly accommodation. Many dogs come and enjoy the walks and a holiday at Morvern.

Contact us to make sure our Bundanoon pet friendly, self contained house can accommodate your pet. Many  people bring their dog or cat to stay with them at Morvern Valley, we have even had a guinea pig and a rabbit stay with us.

However we require prior notice to discuss the details. This is included in your tarriff – we do not charge you for bringing a dog.

Our basic dog policy is that if your dog is under two years of age unfortunately we won’t be able to have him stay – perhaps next holiday when he is a little older (calmer and wiser).

Please consider carefully when deciding to bring your dog.

Bringing your dog can severely limit your range of outings – for example they are not permitted in the National Park.

Your dog comes at your own risk as there are large farm animals, also you will need to take the dog with you when going on all outings – and is not to be left unsupervised in the house, or even in the yard (due to the many farm animals, and gentle free ranging poultry who call Morvern home).

There is nowhere in the actual house you can leave your dog when you go out, and you definitely cannot leave him in the laundry or on the verandah due to possible damage.

The house yard fences are not dog proof fences as indeed if a dog wants to get out, they will find a way.

When you do wish to go out we could organize a chain and you could put him with a dog blanket under the tank stand in the original homestead or one of the kennels at Alecia Cottage or Braedon Cottage  where it is quite dry and safe, he will be quite happy watching all the animals and birds come and go. (But this is not an option if your dog tends to whine when left alone).

A dog that gets out and is unaccompanied in the country can get in all types of unwanted attention from rangers, as farmers worry about their stock.

On a positive note we are true dog lovers, we have many pets come to stay and your dog is very welcome at Morvern Valley, and welcome inside to enjoy your holiday to the full, (just not up on the furniture).
