If you are looking for a beautiful, peaceful farm sit in the countryside then this is the place! First of all, the owners, Erin and Aaron are very kind, hospitable, clean, organized and they go out of their way to ensure you have everything you need. Lovely family. The home is cozy, comfortable and well equipped with a beautiful yard for relaxing in. The animals are all very sweet and friendly. The two kitties Ricki and Paw are easy going and just want their pets and scratches a few times per day. The two horses, Oakie and Banjo are very easy to be around and since they were out to pasture there was only a bit of stall cleaning and watering to be done. The two hens are very tame and put themselves to bed each night on the horse stall door. Very sweet to see the horse Oakie standing guard between the two hens during the night. The three ewes had week old baby lambs when I got there, which was very exciting to watch them play and grow during my two week stay. Because one of the ewes had rejected one of her twins I had the privilege to step in and bottle feed this ewe lamb, which was an amazing experience! I highly recommend this sit to all animal and countryside lovers. I would gladly return if asked!

Thank you so much for looking after our chocolate Lab Bella🤗. First time we have left her at a boarding kennel and I was worried. But upon dropping her off and how the staff were, it put me at ease! And when we picked her up, she was happy, well fed, and had a bath, so she was so clean! She clearly loved the staff there and wanted belly rubs from them. Will definitely make sure for our future holidays to book Bella in. All the dogs we saw looked happy and taken care of. Great place! Thank you!!!
I would look past the negative reviews, every single time we have come to these guys we have been so happy and so have our dogs! Always come home with huge smiles on their faces, regardless of the dirty dog comments we were so happy our dogs were playing in the mud field that has PLENTY OF GRASS because that meant they were having an amazing time! And if you don’t want them to be dirty all you have to do is ask them and they always cater 🙂 The team were so amazing and hands on with any of our concerns ! Every single time we stay down in this area we will use them, we feel so safe leaving our babies with them ! Here’s a photo of how happy they were after a big day at daycare !
We had our dog there for a bit over 3 weeks and he lost so much weight. He was just skin and bone when we picked him up. He had no live left in him, he could barely walk. We dont know if he got sick there or if they had him starve. It was absolutely sad seeing our loved family member in such condition. We contacted the kennel a couple times while on holidays if the dogs are okay and they always said they where doing great! Never did they mentioned ones that our dog is in bad condition. He will never ever refuse any food so i am unsure what the issue was. Would defenetly not recommend for a long stay. Staff Was Friendly
Its definately difficult to find someone to look after your much loved baby- after getting a recomendation on a Kelpie page we took the chance of trusting Marlee with our beautiful (and full on) Kelpie girl Taz. From the moment we dropped her off you could tell the Marlee crew were kind and Caring people and genuinely loved dogs. Taz has stayed a couple of times and you can even tell how happy she is in the photos posted by Marlee. Im so glad i found you guys to care for our girl when we visit the south west 😁❤
My dogs are always so excited when we pull up. They just love their weekends at Marlee's. The staff are always helpful and friendly and there are great outdoor areas for the dogs to play.
Could not be happier with Marlee Country Kennels! We have two puppies one very very shy and anxious boy Leroy, and one very confident little lady LuLu who needs to be constantly busy. We were worried leaving them in a new environment, however we picked up two very happy and content dogs, who clearly had an absolute wonderful time. What was amazing for us to see is how much confidence our little boy gained while being there and how exhausted our little Miss was. It was very clear that the staff spent a lot of time with them and really got to know their little personalities which means the world to us. The care given was amazing and we are already planning our next trip so they can return to their friends at kennel. Thank you so much Marlee Country Kennels for making us feel like we can go on holidays and our little fur babies will be safe and so so happy
I would not recommend using this business for a number of reasons. When I initially made a booking for November through to December I paid a $50 dollar deposit which was never applied to my account. After many unanswered phone calls and emails chasing up as to why the money never got applied to the account I got no legitimate explanation other than " it must of been missed". I looked past this and decided to trial the facility for an overnight stay for my dog this weekend. Upon arrival all the dogs were non stop barking (understabale it is a kennel) however the majority of dogs were locked up in small unappealing cage like kennels and seemed very unstimulated with only a small portion of the dogs were out in an excersise area with no staff in sight. The staff to dog ratio seemed very off. I tried to explain my dogs temperament to the man who served us ( as he gets nervous from time to time) and I was told by the manager and or owner " we will just leave him in the kennel as he's only here overnight"... I tried to call twice in the stated opening hours to check on my dog and there was no answer,nor was my message returned. The facility had an overwhelming stench of feaces and urine. As we did not hear anything back we decided to go and pick up our dog earlier than planned because the communication is so poor. Our dogs' vocal cords were compromised as he had clearly been locked away and barking the entire time. Once again there was no staff members around but so many dogs in the facility. The website clearly states that any cancellations made up to 48 hours hours before your scheduled booking will be refunded. However I recieved an email mentioning nothing about my refund for the booking later on in the year that we opted to cancel after his stay this weekend. When I questioned my refund I was told it will be credited for a future stay despite me giving them 4 months notice regarding the cancellation. This is straight up fraud. They have no legitimate reason to keep my money and their own website even solidifies that. On a positive note there was a younger man who worked there that seemed good with the dogs and had a friendly nature and a young lady upon pick up who also had a friendly nature.
I would like to thank the staff at Marlee Kennels for taking such wonderful care of my dog while i was away recently. He developed an ulcer on his eye the week leading up to going away and had surgery 4 days prior. The staff put my mind at ease and gave him the special attention he required and i am so very grateful. Thank you so much. You all do such a wonderful job.
Amazing, everytime. My fur babies come home so happy and tired from all the fun and running around. They love the interaction and all the staff. I feel so comfortable when they go to stay. Thank you to all the staff. From Storm and Stella
Dropped 2 dogs off for short day stay today while we went off to explore Margaret river, Picked them up 5ish hours later both dogs completely soaked covered in mud had been left in a muddy/flooded pen for the day Had to ask for a towel to try dry em off before we left First time using a kennel would’ve thought at least the dogs be kept clean and dry
Amy looked after our dog Obi for our wedding weekend and brought him to our ceremony and helped pose him for photos. Obi had a fabulous time with the beach walks too. Couldn't recommend Amy more!
I will never trust anyone with my dog (or house when dog sitting) the way I do with Amy. He adores her and is always so happy to see her. She is so passionate about what she does and takes such great care of every dog in her care, like they are her own! I honestly can’t recommend her enough. If you’re nervous about being away from your fur baby I promise that Amy is the perfect person!
Amy is the best! My dog gets picked up on time and comes back absolutely spent from having so much fun with all the other dogs down the beach at the park.
Best dog sitter ever! Highly recommend Amy.
Charlie (our puppy) came back so happy, in fact he didn't want to leave, it was like 'mummy who'? Easy to deal with. They are professional yet have clear boundaries which is imperative i believe. It makes me feel reassured. Friendly and understanding. They make you feel safe with your dog in their hands. We will continue to bring Charlie here as I know he is properly cared for. Thanks guys.
Hi Everyone I booked my K9 & paid half of deposit a week prior then on arrival paid the balance. We then got my dog out of the car & he was very anxious & excited, the proprietor had a lead & made an attempt to put it around his neck but he barked a bit! She made a decision not to take him after just a few minutes,he wasn’t growling or hackles? I was a bit shocked as he’s stayed before & at many kennels. I asked for a refund but it was a blatant NO! Check your fine print she said🤷♂️This really doesn’t seem fair as I had just driven an hour & she was quick to take my money on arrival. Maybe they should change the fine print & put the dog in the kennel & then pay. Regards Out of pocket $154 & plans ruined
If I could give 0 stars I would!! Absolutely hands down the WORST service I’ve ever received. Daylight robbery taking my money then deciding they didn’t want to take my dog on arrival and refused to give my money back. Do not take your dog here unless you’ve got a lap dog or they won’t accept it or give your money back.
I am very disappointed with this kennel service and the staffs un professionalism. I advise you do not take your beloved pet here as my dog has arrived back home in quite an unpleasant state. Thankyou
Ever since I took my dog here my dog he has never wanted to go back to a kennel. Very unprofessional staff and urge people not to book here as my dog has trauma and hasn't been the same since coming home
Georgie was amazing. How our boy came back to us, you can tell he's had a blast. Will send him there again.
Staff I dealt with were very unprofessional. Highly disappointed as I got referred here from a friend
Absolutely wonderful place to send your beloved furbabies! The facilities are brilliant and Georgie and Jess are so dedicated to ensuring your pooch receives the best care. My main man Frankie loved every minute he was there!
I highly recommend Down South Boarding Kennels, I have now had a number of dealings with the new owners Georgie and Jess and they have all been exceptional. My border collie puppy regularly attends daycare at DSBK and I love that he's excited and runs straight to Georgie and Jess when I drop him off each morning. He always comes home happy and exhausted from having spent the day playing with other dogs. I know he is not only safe but also enjoying himself with Georgie and Jess.
It was our dogs first time at a boarding kennels - the ladies were so kind to my little one. A home away from home!
Thank you Michelle for giving our boys the best day. You are amazing and only wish we were here longer so they could come to you again. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to do some sightseeing pet free.
Michelle is such a nice caring lady. Our boy is a sook but she managed to keep him under control. I do recommend her to anyone who is staying within the margaret river region. Such a relief finding her in a short amount of time to care for our boy whilst we explored the caves. Thanks again Michelle. I will be utilising your services again.
Michelle was amazing :) our puppers was very nervous but she won him over in no time. She kept him active all day, he actually slept through the night after even though we were in a 'strange' place.
I give this business 0 stars, I had to put one star to be able to rate. Booked my dogs in 2 weeks prior to arrival had 1chat with person who was friendly and asked for photos so I sent them and got no reply which was strange. On arrival went to see her no-one home felt uneasy messaged her who sent back that she had an incident and could not mind dogs so I was left in the lurch with 3 puppers I have messaged her since but she has never replied so I have zero recommendations for this person. I don't know what sort of incident and would have been more forgiving but common courtesy would have been gone a long way
Our little Zorro was taken a great care of. He was very happy afterwards. I can strongly recommend Michelle services 😀 …
Michelle is just the nicest lady. Asha absolutely loves going there. She comes back exhausted from all the fun she has. And walks she goes on.
For kind and loving homely care I always use All 4 pets Margaret River for my fur babies! Love your way Michelle! 💕😽🥰💕 …
Nice and caring lady, our dog was happy
Such a lovely, caring lady thank you.
Happy dog
First time I’ve used the kennels, for my little dog, Bobby ( 9yrs) Cannot fault it… Clean, secure and well looked after kennels.. Kath was amazing, and great to deal with, she looked after and made sure all Bobby’s needs were met….. It was so lovely when we collected Bobby he had been walked and was socialising with other little dogs in the grassy play area….. Absolutely the best kennels I have used for my dog and would highly recommend Thanks Kath x
So happy we chose Bushlands Pet Retreat for our boy's first "holiday". Beautiful bush property, great people and we are so appreciative he's come home happy and healthy! Thanks so much for taking such great care of him 😊 …
Very, very happy with the facilities and the care my two cats obviously received. One is a very timid rescue, and she came home clean, not too stressed and had been eating. Will be booking again 😊 …
Fabulous setup for cats (& dogs too). Very well fed & clean as. Especially love the monitoring system and the inside to outside areas for them. My cat will definitely stay here when she's in the area. Well done Bushlands Pet Retreat, awesome haven for pet's holidays.
Cath and Bill, thankyou for always taking such wonderful care of our beautiful dog Dusty. We have been coming for 8 years and wouldn't go anywhere else. Highly recommended.
Wonderful place. We have been regular clients for years. Our cat is always in safe, kind and competent hands whenever he stays at Bushlands. The facilities and standard of care are first class. Highly recommended.
After having a previous bad experience with a local kennel, we felt very lucky to have found Bushlands Pet Retreat. The owners are very caring and professional and having a vet as one of the owners is a plus. We felt that our dog was happy and well cared on all the occasions that we picked him up. We would not hesitate to use their services again in the future.
Absolutely fabulous place! Clean, safe, well organised and outstanding care. No kennel stacking or overcrowding. After trying two other places down South, it was so lovely to have our puppy come home calm, relaxed and not sick. Couldn't be happier.
This is not a kennel or cattery, it is a pet hotel. Air-conditioned, inside-outside areas and caring and friendly staff. This is the place if you love your pets.
I 100% trust my dogs are in the best hands when they visit Bushlands. They always look great when they come home and sometimes I have to convince my Border Collie to leave and come home. Great set up in a wonderful bush setting. They are fed a healthy and balanced prime diet and have plenty of recreation time. If I could give an extra star for awesomeness I totally would
Thanks Coastal Critter Sitters for doing a great job looking after our border collie Willow! Service was friendly and professional!
WC Fields famously said “Never work with animals or children” - but only cos he knew that a well behaved doggo will always steal the show! As a marriage celebrant, Confetti Days is where you'll find me... one of the most precious things for my couples is to have their fur babies at their wedding. But, the warning is true. Just like toddlers, animals can be unpredictable in a crowd, dislike the heat, need to poo mid-ceremony, or run around like maniacs. Enter: Gypsea Tails. Not only will Taz ensure your beloved dog is sufficiently tired out and toileted pre-ceremony, she'll help with grooming, wardrobe, transport, handling and stage direction. This level of attention to detail all guarantees a comfortable, happy pet ready for their close-up at the right moment. And then, she'll whisk them away and tuck them into bed before the canapés are gobbled up or anyone's $12k wedding dress gets humped. You and your family members can relax, smile and enjoy the glorious flow of the day. And for me? Well, seeing Taz appear makes me happy. I know with absolute certainty that about 80% of the unpredictability of your special show stealer is under control and I can deliver my ceremony in style. Win, win, win. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Photos by Shannon Stent Photography.
Taz looked after our two dogies the before, during, the night of and day after our wedding. As soon as I met Taz I knew my fur kids would love her. She has such a warm and nurturing personality, the dogs and us loved her! Taz is very professional and thorough with her service. She really helped my day run smoothly and perfectly with the fur kids. Thanks so much Taz! Xx
Hollie's had the best time of her life with Gypsea Tails! 🤍 Couldn't recommend Taz enough. We also had her supporting us since our wedding in July - and she just keeps giving more love every time! From the open & regular communication/chats, to regular updates of photos & videos, and even adjusting drop off & pick up times/locations - very flexible. On top of these, Hollie gets a lot of love, cuddles, treats, and adventures-- even having the luxury of sleeping on a very comfy bed (a.k.a Taz' bed) 🤪 . The amount of love & care they give to all dogs they look after is incredible. Imagine having someone looking after your dog/ fur child like their own :) really grateful! x
Our 2 dogs stayed with Gypsea Tails for 4 nights and I couldn’t recommend Taz enough! There’s nothing better than leaving your fur babies with someone who will treat them like their own, putting your mind at ease that they will be well looked after with lots of attention. Our boys are farm dogs so have lots of energy and are used to lots of exercise. Taz went above and beyond to ensure our boys burnt all their excess energy. Taz gave us daily videos and photos so we knew they were having the best time. Taz also collected and dropped the boys off to our accomodation and brought them along to our wedding for us, which is such a good service to offer! Not only are we thrilled with how well the boys were looked after, we now have some amazing photos of the dogs ♥️ I wish we lived closer so we could use Taz whenever we need to go away.
We can not be more grateful for Taz and can not be more thankful! From the beginning she has be so understanding that our Monty boy is abit special.He has allergies and can be a grumpy bum at times. Taz has been great at communicating, always sending us update photos or videos just to let us know he is doing okay.Even letting him sleep in their bed and anyone that has a bulldog will know how hard that is with the snoring! 😂 Bringing him to our wedding all dressed up in his suit(looking handsome as ever), to bringing lots of treats to distract him through our ceremony and taking him home for a good night rest. Thank you so much! Highly highly recommend ♥️
It was meant to be from the start! Taz (Gypsea Tails) and our Labradoodle Sully hit it off right at the beginning. We had Taz' services for our wedding day and we are so lucky that we got her to look after our fur baby. She has great attention to detail, amazing communication, and overall just the best human and dog and pawrent could ever ask for! If we could give her 10 stars out of 5 we would! 💕
Our little Bruno absolutely LOVES his puppy play dates with Taz. Taz is amazing and takes care if everything and loves the dogs SO much. We cannot recommend her enough.
Taz looked after our puppy Lucy for our wedding and 2 nights afterwards. It’s very evident that Taz and her family absolutely LOVEEEE dogs and put their heart and soul into looking after their furry guests, treating them like one of her own. Taz was on time, responsive and reliable. I received constant updates of Lucy’s adventures and reassurance that she was having a great time. We’d recommend Taz for anyone looking for a dog sitter, dog adventure planner or wedding dog extraordinaire!
Could not recommend Taz highly enough!! She went above and beyond to make sure our flat coat retriever was happy and comfortable. He has separation anxiety and issues with being in the car, but she handled this with ease, allowing us to relax and enjoy our wedding with peace of mind. Loved receiving all the photos and videos of him having his own little adventure holiday! Thank you so much Taz. Will definitely book again when in the south west.
Taz looked after our boys for two nights while we attended a wedding in Cowaramup. From the moment I messaged her I knew they’d be in good hands! Taz and her family treat every dog like their own, shower them with cuddles (and sleeping on their bed if they want!) and go on lots of exploring walks through the bush! We would highly recommend Taz to anyone and I know Johnny and Fred would go back in a heartbeat. Thanks Taz!
