Doggy wknd away
Perfect for a doogy stay. Fully secure yard. Blankets supplied for dogs. Close to wonderful dog walking areas around Acacia Bay.
The apartment had everything we needed. Beds were luxurious. Our only negative comment would have to be was that it could use a deep clean to rid of hanging cobwebs and dusty areas.
Would definitely stay again and recommend to dog friends.
The morning view over the lake was stunning as we ate breakfast outside.

Hubby said he was glad humans could be welcome along with dogs! Very dog friendly.
Only issue was the steep driveway. Very slippy when wet. One fell over but didn't do to much damage to self. Otherwise a lovely relaxing stay and highly recommended
