Pets welcome at Giba Gunyah… because humans are not the only ones who need to smell the roses!

Giba Gunyah is a wonderful place for you to holiday along with your pets. Each cottage has its own large fenced secluded garden with lots of places to sniff and explore. Dogs can safely be left for a few hours while you explore the area if you are sure they will not fret or jump the fences.

They will also love exploring the fire trail or swimming in the river and the dam. Our farm and native animals are important to us and we just ask that you respect the farm and native animals on our property and those of our neighbours.

Doggy Rules…
