At Tallowood Boarding Lodge, we’re proud to be an Australian, family-owned pet boarding provider offering first-class accommodation for dogs and cats.

Located just minutes from Port Macquarie on the Mid-North Coast of NSW, we provide a safe, comfortable and happy place for pets to stay—whether it’s for a day, a week, or an extended holiday.

Our modern dog hotel, cattery, and kennels are thoughtfully designed to give every pet a positive experience, while our caring team ensures plenty of one-on-one interaction, enrichment, and companionship. We know pets are family, and we go above and beyond to make them feel at home.

What Makes Tallowood Different?

Hands-On Care and Interaction
We believe pets thrive on attention. Our team spends quality time with every dog and cat to build trust, prevent boredom, and ensure a peaceful, happy stay.

Tailored Stays for Every Pet
Every pet has unique needs. We work closely with owners to customise each stay, from meal times to play sessions, ensuring comfort and consistency.

Peaceful Rural Location
Set on 25 acres of tree-lined grounds with beautiful rural views, our property offers a calm, natural environment away from the stress of busy town life.

Spacious, Modern Accommodation
All pets enjoy roomy kennels and cosy indoor sleeping quarters, designed with comfort, hygiene and safety in mind.

Compassionate Staff On-Site Daily
Our dedicated team is here throughout the day, providing constant care, monitoring wellbeing, and ensuring every guest is safe and happy.

Extras for Enrichment
We offer farm walks, hydrobaths, and other guest services to keep pets active, clean, and content during their stay.

By combining modern facilities with a personalised approach, Tallowood Boarding Lodge has become a trusted choice for families seeking pet accommodation in Port Macquarie, dog kennels on the Mid-North Coast, or a cat boarding retreat near Lake Innes.

Whether you’re travelling from Sydney to Brisbane or living locally, you can rest assured your pets are in safe and loving hands.
