A great place to stay for you and your dog/s

The property is per photos. It's location can't be beat! Close to the main part of town, forgotten highway and great dog friendly bush walks are a stone's throw away. Be mindful that the property is not fenced, as per photos, but this was not an issue for our 2 dogs. As mentioned in a previous review there is no curtain/blind for the lounge which would have been nice. Beds comfortable, shower fabulous, everything in good working order. I can't speak highly enough about the property manager! Communication was great and appreciated their offer of help when we needed to leave early. Would recommend this property for dog owners, and families as in a safe area for children down the end of a driveway. Perfect spot to base yourself to explore the forgotten highway and Stratford. We really appreciated being able to holiday with our dogs, thank you for being so inclusive of all family members, we hope to visit again one day.

Great Family/Group Property

Overall good property, particularly for larger parties and families. Beds were comfortable, house was warm without the need to constantly use the heat pump. Standard of cleanliness was high. Setting was lovely and quiet. Price was good for size of house and facilities. Owner was very approachable, helpful and obliging. Would happily use The Dry Dock again.
