Pet friendly parks

We understand your furry friends are a part of the family and we welcome them whenever we can.  However, several our properties are in national parks or on water supply systems, where domestic pets are prohibited. This is outside of our control and we appreciate your understanding.

We aim to ensure the comfort, enjoyment and safety of our Parks & Resorts facilities for all patrons.  Thus, entry is conditional upon the pet owner’s preparedness to abide by the requirements outlined below.

*Dogs are not allowed in the dolphin experience area and must be on leads at all times when in the Monkey Mia Conservation Park and Reserve. Travelling with pets in Shark Bay? View info.

RAC Parks & Resorts Pet Policy

• A pet bond in the form of a pre-authorisation on your credit card is required for your pet. The pet bond may vary for each property. See table for details.
• Dogs must be pre-booked at the outset of booking (breed and number of dogs). Arrival with additional dogs on check in may result in the booking not being honoured and forfeiture of all monies paid.
• Pet approval must be obtained when booking and decision is at the Managers discretion.
• Please make sure your pet has been approved at time of booking, we leave this final decision with the property manager.
• Dogs are not permitted on ensuite powered sites
• Strictly no pets in or around cabins, pool areas, public amenities or communal areas.
• Please keep your pets away from the cabins/villas, public amenities or communal areas as not all guests enjoy pets and we must all holiday happily together.
• Pets must be contained within your site and on leads at all times within the park bounds. There are no off-leash areas in the park.
• Please keep your dog on a lead at all times.
• Dogs are not to be left unattended in the park at any time, including in caravans, tents or trailers.
• Please don’t leave your pet alone, as usually they get lonely and can often cause disturbances
• Please make sure you clean up after your dog. Mess must be cleaned up straight away and disposed of.
• Maximum number of pets may apply.
• No excessive noise, including barking is allowed.
• So everyone can enjoy their stay, please keep your pet quiet at all times.
• If your pet is causing problems with other guests, the manager has the right to terminate your further stay and forfeiture of all monies paid.
• Pets are not permitted at RAC Margaret River Nature Park, RAC Karri Valley Resort and Ningaloo Reef Resort. Breach of these rules may result in the immediate termination of your stay and forfeiture of all monies paid.

Health and temperament:

• Pets must be registered and have a current vaccination certificate (with these up to date) required at check-in. Please contact your vet and have a copy faxed through if you do not have a copy on you.
• Pets must be healthy, i.e. free of worms, fleas etc.
• Aggressive pets are simply not welcome.

Visiting friends:

• We understand that sometimes pets need to socialise too. Please follow the below rules so everyone has a happy and safe stay.
