Overview of Marysville Holiday Park

“The kids were so happy we could take Rex our Kelpie away with us for the weekend. The park was fantastic as was Marysville. I can’t believe we’d never been to Marysville before. They especially enjoyed Bruno’s art gallery” Mike and Melissa from Box Hill.”

Nestled in the Heart of Nature, Marysville Holiday Park promises not just a stay but an experience for you and your pet.

Pet-Friendly Accommodation Options

Budget Cabins

Offering comfort without the hefty price tag, the budget cabins are designed with both pets and families in mind, ensuring a cozy stay. Since becoming pet friendly the response has been overwhelming, further confirming it’s not a family holiday without the whole family. We have recently attached a fully enclosed dog run to one of our pet friendly budget maple cabins and due to its popularity will be adding additional dog runs to existing pet friendly cabins. Feedback from guests who have used this accommodation say that their pets are more relaxed, just like being at home with a space specifically for them to be off lead and smell, roll on the grass and soak up the sun.

Garden View Cabins

Due to the popularity in pet-friendly accommodation, we have opened up 3 Garden View Cabins as pet-friendly. Full sized cabins sleeping up to 5. It’s hard to find pet-friendly accommodation better than these.

ALSO – Benefits of Travelling on Holiday with your Pet.

Many of us consider at times should you or shouldn’t you bring your pet on holiday. While some of us wouldn’t consider a local holiday without them. Just in case you are not quite convinced as it might be the first time you are considering bringing your pet, we have added a list of reasons why a holiday with our four legged family members is hugely beneficial to you, the family and especially your dog.

Holidaying with your pet offers a myriad of benefits, both for you, your family and your furry friend. It’s definitely not just about saving on pet boarding costs or the hassle of finding a pet sitter; it’s about the shared experiences that enrich your bond. Let’s explore the reasons why taking your pet on holiday is a fantastic choice:

  1. Enhanced Bonding: Travelling with your pet strengthens your bond. Shared experiences, from hiking trails, parks and the Steavensons and Taggerty rivers.
  2. Reduced Stress & Well-being Pets are known for their ability to reduce stress. Having your pet by your side on holiday can make the experience more relaxing and enjoyable for you and the whole family.
  3. Cost-Effective: Taking your pet on holiday can often be more cost-effective than paying for boarding or pet-sitting services.
  4. No Post-Holiday Blues: Pets can experience anxiety and sadness when separated from their owners. Travelling together means your pet won’t have to go through the adjustment period of your return, avoiding post-holiday blues.
  5. Creating Memories & New Experiences: The experiences and adventures you share with your pet on holiday become cherished memories. Photographs and stories of your travels together can be a source of joy for years to come.
  6. They are a part of our Family!: For many of us dog owners, we consider our pets an integral part of the family, vacationing together supports a lifestyle that prioritises the inclusion and well-being of every family member.
  7. Emotional Support: For individuals who rely on their pets for emotional support, having them along on holiday can make travel more feasible and enjoyable.
