PAGE 32 | LAKES COAST VISITOR GUIDE TARRA TERRITORY Winner of 23 tourism awards, 11 of which have been for best in Australia, Best Friend Holiday Retreat is pretty much as pet friendly as accommodation can be, designed and purpose-built especially for people holidaying with their four-legged best friends. A short drive from the rainforests of Tarra Bulga National Park, the retreat is set in lush green surrounds, adjacent to a year-round waterfall and a natural rock-formed swimming pool, with the 90 Mile Beach just a 30-minute drive away. Stay options include securely-fenced, drive-through camping or caravan sites, and budget or deluxe pet-friendly fenced cabins. Unlike most accommodation providers, when you stay in a cabin at Best Friend Holiday Retreat, your dog can even sleep inside with you! The Retreat has six expansive off-leash areas, securely fenced with underground wire netting and double gate entrances, as well as plenty of tethering places and drinking spots. Dog-friendly play and dog-agility equipment – as well as a unique, giant dog ball run – will keep their minds and bodies active. In addition, there’s an on-site hydrobath hut to pamper your dog, and fully-secured day kennels to care for your dog while you head out to explore the National Park. There is also a communal camp kitchen with two fenced-off eating areas attached, so your best friend can dine with you. The camp kitchen features two gas barbecues, gas pizza oven, refrigerator, microwave, hot and cold water, and a fireplace for those chilly nights. By night, you and your family can toast marshmallows or chestnuts (in season) on your own private campfire, watched by the friendly resident koalas. Best Friend Holiday Retreat also has an ‘open aviary’, with scores of beautiful local birds flying-in to enjoy a hand-feed of wild bird seed at 9am every morning.
