So your Hotel.com.au holiday or business trip is all confirmed, your bags are packed and you’re running late for the airport. Suddenly, your adoring pooch starts whimpering while your favourite feline rubs figure eights between your legs. Looking down, you see those big heartbreaking eyes moving slowly back and forward between you, the piled cans of food and the hastily scrawled note for the neighbour. Welcome to Guiltsville!

As a pet owner, it’s never easy going on holiday or a business trip and leaving your four-legged family members behind. Even when you’re having the time of your life in the dreamiest of destinations, every now and then you wonder, “I hope they’re ok”.

Well if you live in Sydney or on the NSW Central Coast, your worries are over!

Pet Resorts Australia – 5 star holidays in pet paradise

The next time you book a holiday with Hotel.com.au, instead of leaving your dog or cat at home, or packing them off to some boarding kennel and wondering if they’ll be safe, happy and cared for, why not give them their own exciting adventure?

Pet Resorts Australia run five-star tropical retreats for pets at Terrigal and Dural in NSW, north of Sydney.  These animal adorers have thought of everything when it comes to pampering pet care. From the moment they’re picked up in a private air-conditioned shuttle, to the time they’re dropped off home into your loving arms, your dog or cat will have an experience not even the juiciest bone or plumpest fish can match.

A day in the life of a Pet Resort guest

A typical day at the resort begins with a room service brekkie from a menu involving treats such as pasta, chicken, salmon and kibble.  Of course, for very fussy eaters, you can supply your own food.

From their villa room, all pooches have access to a shared courtyard, while majestic suites – such as the Disney Room or the Balinese Room – have their own courtyard.

As the sun warms the tropical surrounds, an experienced, professional pet carer will take your loved one for some play time with other dogs, or alone for a jog around the lagoon and/or a swim in the lap pool.

Dogs who seem to think that shoes exist purely for chewing can catch up on some obedience lessons with renowned trainer Steve Austin.  And for those sporting love handles, there are intense exercise sessions available on the treadmill at the doggie gym!

After all that activity, you might like to book them in for some grooming at the Doggie Day Spa before it’s time to settle down and drift off on the comfy trampoline bed of their floor-heated, air-conditioned pad.

The dedicated staff at Pet Resorts Australia think of everything to make the experience easier for you and your pooch, including pick-up service from selected vets around Sydney, and a complimentary hydrobath on departure!

Kitty Package – something to purr about

Pussycats would be happy to cash in their nine lives for a taste of the luxurious ‘Kitty Package’ at the Dural resort. It’s a chance to relax (as cats lead such stressful lives) in a warm and spacious private room with or without a view, complete with fresh bedding, scratching posts and toys to keep them purrrrfectly pleased.  Food is provided twice a day with Purina Pro Plan, but if your cat is fastidious, then it’s OK to supply your own nibbles.

But what about birds, mice, guinea pigs and other small Ark stowaways…? Good news! Pet Resorts Dural also looks after most creatures great and small, so long as you provide the enclosure.

Pet holidays from just $30 a day

So pet lovers, now you know that while you’re on holiday, waiting in queues and complaining about the price of the bar menu, your pet will be having so much fun of their own, they won’t have time to miss you… until they get home of course, and want to thank you with sloppy licks and extra loud purrs.

A wide range of packages start at just $30 a day up to the amazing Luxury Platinum package – which we’d be quite happy with ourselves!

So when you’re booking your next holiday or business trip with Hotel.com.au, don’t forget, four-legged friends deserve a break too!
