There are three different regions to choose from: Yarra Valley, Grampians, and High Country.
Yarra Valley is surrounded by many wineries and is located on a hill, offering fantastic scenic views. It’s very convenient for watching the sunrise and sunset; highly recommended!
Grampians is in an olive grove, nestled in the forest, giving it a sense of seclusion. If you prefer not to be disturbed, you can choose either of these two locations.
The accommodations provide a great experience, being simple and clean with complete facilities. Just keep in mind that there might be more bugs around, so be sure to bring bug spray. It’s a fantastic place for a trip with your dog!
Bring Along the Essentials for a Great Day Out
When heading to the beach with your furry friend, don’t forget to pack the essentials. To ensure a comfortable day out in the sun, bring along plenty of water and a collapsible bowl for your dog to drink from. Sunscreen specially formulated for dogs is also important if your dog has short hair or sensitive skin.
Additionally, consider bringing a portable shade tent or beach umbrella to provide some relief from the sun’s heat. And of course, always remember to bring poop bags and dispose of them properly to keep the beach clean for everyone’s enjoyment.
