Snakeweed Flats offers a massive, fully fenced dam area for doggos that love to swim! There is a kayak available for the added benefit of the humans and dogs. The dam always maintains enough water for both humans and dogs to swim in, although the lower it gets, the muddier the edges get so bring a towel for the car! Any children under 10 participating in water based activities MUST wear a lifejacket.
There is plenty of opportunity and space to have a good sniffing safari and there are heaps of agility based obstacles for doggos that may not love swimming, but would rather run, climb and play hide and seek, giving them plenty of exercise opportunities in other ways. There is a toy box full of floating toys for your use in the dam, just please put as many back as you can before you leave - don't stress if you leave a few floating - my doggos will retrieve them next time they're down there! There are also toys that don't float for a good ol' game of tug or fetch!
The area is well away from the other resident dogs, cats, poultry and people that reside at Snakeweed Flats and the friendly sheep, goats and horse generally steer clear of strangers. So you and your doggo can feel safe and that their fun won't be interrupted.
The Sniff Space is fully secured with 4ft high diamond mesh rural fencing. Please keep your dog fully secured on a leash between the car parking area and entering the Sniff Space, as the rest of the property is NOT containment fenced for dogs and directly neighbours the Ross Dam Catchment area, meaning your dog can and may go missing if they are inclined to chase wildlife. We have wallabies and kangaroos in abundance on the rest of the property and these can entice a dog easily into running into the bushland and getting lost.
Once you've entered the Sniff Space at the dam however, feel free to unleash the beast and let your doggo run free and enjoy all there is to offer at Snakeweed Flats Sniff Space!
**First aid kit and lifejackets located in garden shed
Children under 10 MUST wear a lifejacket if they enter the dam or use the kayak. There are a few lifejackets (human and dog) available in a box at the Sniff Space.
There are other animals present on the property (cats, chickens, goats, sheep, horse, other dogs, wildlife) so if your dog is not in the fenced Sniff Space, they MUST be on leash at all times or under effective control of the owner so as not to harm or be harmed by other animals on the property. This includes getting your dog from the car into the Sniff Space.
Please be aware that the Sniff Space and property neighbour the Ross Dam Catchment area, which is bushland. Although we rarely see snakes on our property, be on the look out at all times. A snake bite bandage and first aid kit will be available in the shed at the Sniff Space if you are in need. Please let the host know if you need to utilise this kit so I can replace anything that has been used.
The first aid kit and lifejackets are located in the garden shed just outside the Sniffspace. Please hang lifejackets on the fence to dry if used. There is a poo bin and fresh water bowl available for your doggos and please help yourselves to a SCHMACKO or two from the treat jar!

My pups LOVED their play today. My 3yo dachshund, Ralph was so clever going though the obstacle courses! I was surprised he picked it up so quick! Ralph also loved sniffing around the shallow edges of the water. I had to bribe him with treats to get out as our time was up! My 9yo boxer cross, Zebbie, loved checking out all the native wildlife on the other side of the fence and doing laps in the water! Thanks for a great morning!
Great space, My two thoroughly enjoyed their time swimming and sniffing. The space was nice and clean, well maintained and plenty of obstacles and toys to keep the fur babies occupied. The owners of the space also left plenty of fresh water for the pups as well as the humans which was placed right before our booking time. Will definitely be returning!
Absolutely terrific place, and was more than we expected! Our baby Axel had an amazing time from the moment we got through the gate with so many different smells to explore, toys galore and the dam to swim in plus there’s kayaks for the people!! Great morning and we will definitely be making it a monthly occasion!
We had a great time! The space is so well set up, so much for your doggos to do, even though mine was lazy and just wanted to sniff and chill in the dam. Would definitely recommend for a different fun outing with your dog.
Such a nice spot ... Thank you for sharing it. It's nice to watch the dogs off leash without limit but still controlled
A great area that catered so well for our 3 doggies who all have different interests, we’ll definitely be back!
