3min off Hume Hwy Vic! Doggy FREEDOM!











Give your dogs some freedom! We would love your pooches to come visit ‘our yard’ while they are travelling and spend some time just being dogs in a safe and secure environment.
Please note, dam is currently dry February 2025
We have 2 spaces, both are approx ½ acre. One has a dam, a little dam hill that dogs love running up and down, big trees, some shrubs, shady and sunny areas.
The other area is flat with no swimming space, but has mature trees with shaded and sunny areas.
All areas have secure, tight, higher than 6ft fencing with no gaps/holes underneath.
Grass is kept low.
Fresh water is provided.
Poop disposal bin provided.
Garden table and chairs on site.
Safe and secure for most sized dogs (see Special Conditions).
Enjoy a picnic while your dogs explore their new surroundings off lead.
Public toilets are only a few minutes away in our quaint little township of Violet Town where there are cafes selling delicious food and coffee. Violet Town also has a dump point near the pub.
We could provide contactless entry with written directions to your area if you absolutely require that.
Our neighbour's alpacas may be visible next door through a shared fence line and our poultry may be visible through shared fence line. The alpacas have large separate areas and you may never see them on your visit.
Your dogs must remain on lead until they are inside your area. Once inside, then they can run free and have as much sniffing and exploring fun as they like.
A fence walk is recommended to make sure you are happy with your area prior to releasing your dog/s (very small dogs may not be suitable due to gap under gate and fencing gap size).

Diesel had a great time. Thank you Janine for being so hospitable and accommodating. See you again very soon.


A beautiful space! We sprung a visit on Janine on the way through to Harrietville, and she was very understanding and helpful. We went into the space with the dam and our two LOVED IT! Koji loves to swim so much, and having the dam was like a dream come true. It was fantastic, we wish this space was close by! Thank you, Janine!


This space has everything you need. Janine was an incredible host, very kind and welcoming. The dogs had a lot of fun with all the toys, smells and watching the chickens.


Wonderful clean and secure space with lots of trees, fresh water (for both humans and doggos), bin and pooper scooper, and chairs for humans to sit and enjoy the tranquillity. George and I both had a really great time!


So glad we booked to stop here between Sydney and Melbourne. The dogs loved having a run, stretching their legs and having a look at chickens and llamas. The place is perfectly set up with great fences, seats, water for everyone and dog toys to play with. Janine was very welcoming.
