Dog Boarding
Our aim is to be the best dog boarding resort in Tasmania for dogs who love fun and playtime. Our facilities focus on comfort, space and safety. Catering for no more than 20 dogs at a time, when you leave your dogs with us they’ll get a holiday of their own. We pamper our dogs and most of our rooms have couches or beds to make their stay comfortable. Much thought and research went into the design of our dog boarding exercise areas to create a safe, happy and healthy environment.
Safety and supervision comes first. Small group sizes, supervision and every dog does a trial first.

Wide open spaces
It’s playtime most of the time at Margate Country Dog Resort. Our dog resort has been created with our canine guests in mind. While your dog is boarding or at dog daycare with us they will feel like they’re on holiday too. Sleeping and napping happens on couches and in shady, grassy or sandy areas and healthy treats are a highlight of our cherished dog’s days.
A trial to keep the peace
Our dog boarding and kennels are a social environment and only suit dogs who are comfortable around other dogs. To ensure every dog’s comfort we do a trial night with each new pup guest. If there’s any stress issues or problem behaviour (stress barking, aggression, nipping, disappearing acts) we find out quickly and unfortunately we aren’t the right fit. For those who fit right in, we are good to go and we can confidently offer you dog boarding and keep our space social, fun and harmonious.
