Our Facilities!
Every aspect of ensuring the comfort & safety of our guests has been considered.
The Property & Kennels
We are on 15 acres close to the daisy hill state forest. This means that we are on a beautiful property, with a balance of open and bush areas, automated gate for your convence (so you can be directed to which part of the property you need to) and reception Kennels.
There are also large brick, propose built kennels, constructed to our specifications, to give the dogs lots of room. The kennels have an external door that goes strait into their sand yard.
The kennel floors are sealed concrete, and have a gradual slope so that there can be no puddles. The kennels are built in such a way that in summer, they get all the cool breezes, it is a very pleasant environment.
All fences at the Kennels 6 foot high, and made of chain wire colour bond, or weld mesh. We have an escapee proof area where, not only the internal kennel, but the yard attrached is also fully enclosed. This can be booked in advanced.
Large sand yards with a shade cloth roof area, access from inside and out during the day, coupled with a big grass play paddock and 6ft fence.
Room To Meet & Move
Every two kennels has a large sand yard attracted with a shaded area.
During the day the dogs have accesses in side and out. If your dog comes on their own and are social, we try to match them up with a friend during the day. If you have more than one dog they are only separated at feed times. Our kennels have a large platform type bed, which we cover with carpet, and your own bedding. If you don’t bring bedding, we will supply your dog with a blanket.
There is a concrete area with of room for them to get up and move around during the night and all water dishes are stainless steel and inside the kennels. So they are clean & cool.
If your pet plays with their water, we use a secure stainless steel bucket, slightly raised and attracted to their fence. Water is checked throughout the day. Attached to the kennels is a large grass, fully fenced exercise yard and the length of time depends on the dogs.
Some of the oldies have a sniff around, and then want to go back to thier own area.
However, working breeds and young dogs do need longer. All the dogs are let out to play in this area twice are day.
A Unique Space
The first time I put my Stamford & Kimby in a kennel, I spent weeks searching kennels online only to find them quite depressing – I simply couldn’t find one that I could happily put my fur babies in. I left the decision to my husband who chose Five Star Kennels and it was the best decision ever.
Kimby was a bit ‘funny’ around other dogs and he had ongoing issues with his ears so Five Star Kennels were given the task of cleaning and checking his ears during his stay. When we returned from holidays, his ears were absolutely pristine and I was so impressed with their condition and their happy demeanour – it alleviated any concerns I’d had about the kennels and I had no concerns leaving them here next time.
We have since left Stamford & Nicholas at Five Star Kennels and each time, Stamford has returned in the most stunning condition – to our astonishment, his beautiful dark chocolate coat colour has returned (even though we feed him fresh quality meat every day!).
Leaving our boys at Five Star Kennels means we can be enjoying our holiday on the other side of the world without any worries as to the condition, treatment, safety, comfort or attention that our boys are receiving. We have 100% peace of mind in using Five Star Kennels, and as a pet lover, that is priceless.
