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!

I’d say this place is like Disney World for dogs! Our pups had an absolute blast from start to finish. The host was amazing — so welcoming and attentive, and made the whole process super easy for us, so we could just relax and enjoy. There are plenty of toys for the dogs to play with and even kayaks for the humans. The whole area is fully fenced and safe from any wildlife, so we felt totally at ease. We loved every moment and will definitely be coming back soon. Highly recommend this place if you want your dogs to run, swim, and have the time of their lives!
Great space, very peaceful and relaxing. The dogs absolutely loved it as did the kids having a bit of undisturbed freedom to exercise the dogs playing fetch and having a long overdue swim! Will definitely return
Wonderful space with everything a puppy could dream of. Agility equipment, a dam for a swim and so many toys and sniff opportunities. The hour went by too fast. We will definitely be back again soon.
We had a fabulous family outing, with our four herding breed type dogs , they absolutely loved it ! The dogs ran full pelt, frolicked , dive bombed and swam in the billabong the entire time! The acre area is so private , rural,outlook, full of interest in terrain and challenging activities for the dogs! Our rescue and our pup taught themselves to swim freely on the day from one bank to the other by watching the older dogs . The area is clearly maintained regularly, and very clean with lots balls and toys and challeges for the dogs etc. We double booked and took a family picnic which we shared at the comfy table and chairs provided and sheltered by umbrella. The fence is a great height and access staightforward with parking right at the gate. We are looking forward to the next visit .
Such a fantastic idea, Maverick absolutely loved it. Seemless process and will definitely be back again
My Shepherd and I had the best time running around and sniffing every spot of this beautiful location. The ball pool was my Shepherds dream and chasing them in and out of the dam was a lot of fun! Thank you!
