Here’s what you can look forward to:
1. Four Private Trails
Secret Pathways: Explore dappled sunlight, rustling leaves, and glimpses of wildlife. Whether you stroll leisurely or hike invigorating trails, your dog will lead the way. 🌿🐕

Natural Pools, Dam, and Creek: Dip toes (and paws!) into cool water. Listen to the creek’s gentle babble. It’s a serene winter escape shared only with nature. ❄️🌊
3. Award-Winning Swimming Pool
Memory-Making Oasis: Dive in together, play fetch, or float under the sky. Our dog-friendly pool is more than water—it’s where memories unfold. 🏊‍♂️🐶
4. Exquisitely Landscaped Gardens and Rock Walks
🌸 Canine Oasis: Amidst our meticulously landscaped gardens and charming rock walls, your furry companions can explore blooms and lush greenery. 🌸🐾🌸🐾
5. Tennis and Basketball Court
Friendly Matches: Imagine tennis and basketball amidst natural beauty. Your dog might even become the official ball retriever! 🎾🏀
6. Dog Enclosure
Tail-Wagging Luxury: Our four-legged guests find magic here. The secure BBQ and Palm Courtyard area meet wagging tails. Attached is a large enclosure of over 800m² for your dogs’ freedom. 🐾🏡🌭🛁

Feel free to explore and create beautiful memories with your furry companions! It’s not just a property; it’s an invitation to be part of something timeless. 🌟🐾

Free Wine and Beer on arrival: We’d love to know your wine preference—red, rosé, or white. Cheers! 🍷🥂
Free Drink tickets: Feel free to use our complimentary drink tickets at Parkerville Tavern, where the dog-friendly front veranda awaits. It’s just a quick 5-minute drive from Mountolive Studio 🍷🥂
