Daycare — Day Escape at the Retreat 

​

Daycare at The Bush & Beach Retreat is designed for dogs who thrive with gentle structure, nature time, and a peaceful home environment.

 

With a maximum of two guest dogs per day, your pup enjoys a calm, personalised experience — never overwhelmed, never lost in a crowd, always supported by a certified trainer.

​

Your dog’s day flows with the rhythm of the property: slow bush walks, enrichment activities tailored to their personality, rest breaks in the shade, and soft social time with Wally, my friendly Staffy who reads other dogs beautifully. Every moment is dog‑led, relaxed, and grounded in positive behaviour principles.

​
