DOGGY doo’s & don’ts Our doggos are part of the family at Away Resorts, so a holiday just wouldn’t be the same without them!
When bringing your dog(s) to this park there are three golden rules...
Rule #1
Keep your dog(s) tethered at all times We know it’s hard to believe, but not everybody likes dogs so we must respect that.
Rule #2
If your dog poops then pick it up We stock poo bags in the shop.
Rule #3
Please do not leave your pets unattended in your accommodation for any reason.
12
Why not bring a frisbee or a ball for a kick about. Or with stunning coastal views explore one of the many nature paths in the area.
Please do not leave any rubbish outside! The segulls are quick and will pull it open. Please put it in the bins provided (detailed on your park map)
