55That was the most fun sniff park we have been too. A real confidence booster for my 10month old ridgeback who can be a little scared of things.
So much fun. Thank you Tracey B.

55Was a real big space, lots to sniff and a few spots to explore. Was a little confusing to find for first time and I honestly worried I had just turned up at some randoms house, but now that I have been there, I feel it’s pretty straightforward.Cinnamon S.

55Amazing space for our reactive baby, no other dogs or triggers.
Had an amazing time swimming and generally running around, lots of smells and scents to investigate, and duck poo to roll in 🤣🐾
She was so happy! Her own little self lead adventures with no commands or constraints. Definitely be back! Caz V.

55Great place for your dog to run around and have a sniff! Maybe just some signage to make it clear where to go and park but other than that the pup had a great time :) Sarah v.

55Excellent spot for the dogs! They had so much fun exploring the paddocks and cooling off in the creek. They are looking forward to returning soon! Tania K.

55What a great spot! Our dog loved running between the paddocks, lots of sticks for her to chew and some patches of water for her to have a paddle in as well. Instructions were helpful but as mentioned in another review, some signage would be great once they’ve got that up! Thank you!Ellis G.

55This spot is gorgeous! Well maintained lawns, lots of space to spread out, good visibility so you can keep an eye on your dogs easily.
My big reactive dog loved the water spots (we did have to be careful around the more narrow bits as he is a boomba) and it was reassuring to see the double fence situation so he couldn’t escape.
Lots of shade, heaps of places to chill out. Really impressed!
Shelley’s communication was great and she answered all my questions quickly and fully.
We’ll be back soon (and will remember to take photos next time)!Di O.

55✅ Reactive dog ✅
Dax behaves aggressively towards other dogs, so it was really nice to see this private place pop up for rent.
After 5 minutes I started to relax and enjoy my time there with him (after the usual reactive dog parent head swivelling stops 😂). It was out of the way and fully fenced with a closable gate to secure the area.
There were horses grazing in the paddocks at the back end, but they only came to the fence to catch some shade for 5 mins before off grazing again.
⚠️ There was a man with 2 off leash dogs in the soccer field adjacent to the section ⚠️ It was no fault of the host that they were there, but if you have a reactive dog like Dax it might pay to cast your eyes over there every now again during your visit. There is a fence in between but a keen dog might be able to get through.
We kept out of sight and away from that fence-line once we spotted them, there was more than enough room to create distance.
All in all I think this is a really cool spot for sniffs!! I’m just leaving a super thorough review because I know there are sooooo many people out there with dogs like mine who would really benefit from using such a space 💜 it’s hard knowing where we can exercise them safely and actually ENJOY our dogs.
Dax loved the water part 😂 neither of us cared about the mud, it was WAY too much fun! Pictures are proof!!
I am so grateful to the host for allowing us to use this space 🥰🙏 Thank you. I look forward to next time!Jennifer B.

55My wee boy absolutely loved his time here. He’s just a babe so we are working really hard on recall and it’s great to be able to do this in a safe space. Thanks so much!Amanda D.

55Awesome Sniffspot! It does feel awkward because you’re pulling up to a stranger’s house but let the van photo be your guide. It’s the nature of the system and just know you’re in the right spot! My girl had a great time exploring and sniffing all the things. Romped in the stream a bit and found so many sticks to chase and chew on. We will be back!Katie A.
