At b’ARK, we set the bar high: luxury facilities, exceptional care, and a passionate team dedicated to your pet’s wellbeing. You can relax knowing your furry family member is enjoying their very own holiday.

We recently moved into the area and had something come up unexpectedly. Our normal Pet resort was fully booked so we thought that we would try and contact b’ARK to see if they had a vacancy for our 15 year old staffy cross. They were wonderful and caring straight from the first point of contact. Micah was happy straight away on arrival and apparently jumped straight up on his personal bed and started to watch TV. We received email updates as promised and the photos below. On pick up, Micah was happy and relaxed and had also received his bath before we arrived. The premises are very clean and well maintained and the whole atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. Thank you to the team at b’ARK for making our boy feel welcome and safe. We hall definitely be back to utilise your service from now on.

Highly recommend b’ARK, George, my German Shepherd has been going there for daycare for 10 years, if I didn’t have b’ARK I don’t think George would be the gentle, socialized boy that he is today. He gets picked up by the doggy bus every Wednesday morning for day care. Katie, Kirsty and the team honestly treat him like their own.He recently had a long stay and I received messages and photo updates which I loved and when I picked him up he had been bathed and was happy boy.
Thanks to all the staff that love and treat G like I do.

“I’ve been using b’ARK for many years and, even after moving to northern NSW, I still make the trip to leave my girl Fern in their care. She absolutely loves it — the moment we arrive she’s so excited to be there.

The regular photo updates give me peace of mind because I can see how much fun she’s having, which lets me relax and enjoy my holiday knowing she’s enjoying hers too.

The team is simply wonderful — I know they always put Fern’s best interests first. And every time she comes home, she looks happy, healthy, and smells amazing after her pampering.

I wouldn’t trust anyone else with her!”

We’re very particular about where we leave our pets, and have had experiences in the past when our dog’s behaviour has been timid and frightened after collecting him from another boarding kennel. When we collected our dog from Bark, he was happy, excited and relaxed. The drop off was handled professionally. We received reassuring and regular photos of our dog, cat and budgies during their stay. Bark was very accommodating on our dog’s birthday and treated him. We would definitely use Bark again in the future and do recommend it.

Well worth the drive from Noosa.
